What I've Done sold more than New Divide? News to me, I thought I had read ND was their biggest ever single.
What I've Done only beat New Divide in American digital singles. Overall, worldwide and including CDs, New Divide is their biggest single. Nice to have you back, man.

This thread is very interesting for me to read. I've been looking for accurate numbers of how much copies our favorite bands sold worldwide. Can you do Slayer next, Kaito?
By the way, LP's second week in the Billboard 200 places them at #9, with ~29K copies sold, which is 74% (!) down from last week.
The next are SYSTEM OF A DOWN. After, I will try to determinate the sales of SLAYER it's really difficoult beacuse their first albums have sold not much
