Sleep Token have the number one album in America
Alternative metal band Sleep Token did something that surprised nearly everyone.
The band’s new album Even In Arcadia debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 chart with over 127,000 units sold. While many assumed the record would debut in the Top 10, a number-one debut was a complete shock. This is Sleep Token’s first number-one album in the United States; their breakthrough album Take Me Back to Eden debuted at number 16 on the charts. Even In Arcadia also topped the charts in the U.K., Scotland, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Australia.
