Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.There are only a few certainties: death, taxes, and that this column will go weeks without comments until I forget to put a band on the charts. So, yeah, I totally missed Grey Daze last week, a band fronted by the late Chester Bennington before he joined Linkin Park. I know some of you were looking forward to it so I’m sorry I overlooked it the first time. In truth, I hadn’t heard about Grey Daze until readers started asking about it. You’ll find their numbers from this week and last week listed below.
Notable Debuts:
Bury Tomorrow, Cannibal (Sony)Debut #53

Trapt, Shadow Work (The Label Group)Debut #123
600 sold
Trapt’s latest album sold 87% less copies than its 2016 predecessor. This could be a result of frontman Chris Taylor Brown’s Twitter rants, or it could just be because its Trapt.
