IRON MAIDEN To Land In Top 5 On U.K. Single Chart

January 5, 2005

According to the IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenFans.com, the U.K. midweek single chart indicates that MAIDEN have a shot at the top slot with their latest single, "Number of the Beast", even if the group's fans have a tendency to buy the band's product on the first day.

U.K. midweek single chart as of January 4, 2005:

01. ELVIS PRESLEY – "Jailhouse Rock"
02. STEVE BROOKSTEIN - "Against All Odds"
03. IRON MAIDEN - "Number of the Beast"
04. BAND AID - "Do They Know It's Christmas"
05. SCISSOR SISTERS - "Filthy/Gorgeous"
06. ERASURE - "Breathe"
07. DANA RAYNE - "Object Of My Desire"
08. KASABIAN - "Cutt Off"
09. BLUE - "Get Down On It"
10. SEAGULLS SKA - "Tom Hark"

EMI released "The Number of The Beast" as a single on Monday (Jan. 3) in celebration of IRON MAIDEN's phenomenal 25-year history and in keeping with the recent international chart success of their double DVD, "The Early Years".

The title track of the band's third (and first No 1!) album, this single was a Top 20 hit when originally released in 1982, and is rightly regarded as an all-time MAIDEN classic. This song typifies the band's sound signature of that era, from the chilling spoken introduction to the throat ripping opening scream from Bruce Dickinson. The single was released in three very special limited-edition formats, featuring never-before-available live recordings from the Clive Burr charity shows at Brixton Academy in March 2002.
