Avenged Sevenfold ‘Nightmare’, their new single, has topped the iTunes rock chart and they hope to hit the Top 40 singles chart this week too!
Avenged Sevenfold’s new single ‘Nightmare’ was released yesterday and went straight to the top of the iTunes UK Rock Chart. If the single continues to sell strongly in the next two days, Avenged Sevenfold could potentially be the first traditional metal band to hit the UK Top 40 singles chart since Metallica’s entry with ‘The Day That Never Comes’ almost two years ago.
‘Nightmare’ currently stands at #22 on the overall iTunes chart. If yesterday’s ‘Nightmare’ sales are replicated over the course of the rest of the week, the single will reach the Top 40.
The single’s popularity has already been highlighted by the success of the accompanying lyrics video at YouTube. Having been debuted on May 17th, the track has also received over 400,000 views, 8,000 comments and has been marked as a favourite 8,000 times.
Produced by Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Eminem) and mixed by Andy Wallace (Slayer, Faith No More), ‘Nightmare’ is the first single to be taken from Avenged Sevenfold’s upcoming fifth album of the same name that’s due for release on July 26th on Warner Bros. Records.
