Can we get an “Ooooh Yeahaayah!” 

The Metal demigods returned to the scene on November 18th releasing what could be seen as the most anticipated Metal release in quite a few years and it seems that the entire world was waiting with baited breath for Metallica to come back. Making number one in more than twenty plus countries with a combined sale of 800,000 albums, which in this day and age is absolutely unheard of. Metallica are, quite rightly, the biggest band on the planet currently. 

Being top of the Billboard charts, Hardwired stands as the band’s sixth number one charting album and third biggest release behind both Drake and Beyoncé. Come on Metallica! Well done boys.
