System of a Down Top Charts For 2nd Time This Year By Newsferatu, Writer Thursday, December 1, 2005 @ 10:15 AM
For the third time in its career and the second this year, Los Angeles hard rock band System Of A Down scored the top position on the U.S. pop charts Wednesday.
"Hypnotize" (American/Columbia), the group's fifth release, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of about 320,000 copies in the week ended November 27, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Although it was enough to debut in the lead, the first-week total for "Hypnotize" fell far short of the 452,990 copies moved by System's "Mezmerize" during its first week back in May. "Mezmerize" is currently No. 87 on the Billboard 200, with sales to date of 1.5 million copies, according to Columbia. The band first reached No. 1 in September 2001 when "Toxicity" started off with 222,037 copies, on its way to 3.7 million copies, the label said.
According to Columbia, System of a Down is the first band in chart history to log two No. 1 albums in one calendar year.
