April 10, 2008

"A Sense of Purpose", the new album from Swedish metallers IN FLAMES, has topped the chart in the band's home country in its first week of release.

The CD has registered the following chart positions so far:

#1 - Sweden
#3 - Finland
#7 - Canada
#14 - Japan
#28 - U.S.

"A Sense of Purpose" (Koch) shifted 20,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release. This is slightly less than the opening tally of "Come Clarity" (Ferret),which sold just under 24,000 copies in February 2006 to debut at position No. 58.
