EVANESCENCE Continues European Chart Reign
October 20, 2006MonstersAndCritics.com reports that EVANESCENCE starts a second week at the helm of European Top 100 Albums with "The Open Door" (Wind-Up). Although it loses its chart-topping berths in Germany and Switzerland, falling to No. 2 in those markets, the album adds a No. 1 debut in Greece and a No. 2 entry in Sweden, holds at No. 2 in Italy and Holland and climbs from 4 to 2 in Portugal. The single "Call Me When You're Sober" dips from 10 to 16 on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.
"The Open Door", sold 447,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release to land at the top of The Billboard 200 chart.
EVANESCENCE recorded "The Open Door" while dealing with its guitarist having a stroke, a legal battle with its former manager, and singer Amy Lee's public break-up with SEETHER's Shaun Morgan. Then just as the project was completed, bassist Will Boyd decided it was time for him to exit.
