Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
I spent the first five minute writing this week’s edition of MBN thinking “I should listen to that Pretty Reckless song that was big on the radio a few years ago, it was catchy.” The song I was thinking of is “Heaven Knows,” but I went looking for “I Miss The Misery,” which is a Halestorm song. So I was confused for a few minutes. Shows what I know. Anyway, they’ve got the number 1 album on the Top Current albums chart, which is no small feat. considering spots 2 and 3 are taken up by Foo Fighters and. Taylor Swift respectively.
