Slipknot Tops Billboard Charts

Slipknot’s new album, All Hope Is Gone, has topped the Billboard 200. Although it was a very close call with rapper The Game, Slipknot still stole the crown and reigned supreme.

Slipknot recently completed their headliner duties at the Mayhem Festival and will now depart for a world tour in October in support of All Hope Is Gone. Their new album also debuted at Number One in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Sweden. It debuted at Number Two in France, Belgium, Germany, Japan and the UK, and a Number Three debut in Norway.
