Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week, with order links provided by Amazon. Here are the charts from December 22, 2023 releases. As you can see, none of the debuts from that week landed in charts but we listed the overall notable sales. 2023 is officially wrapped, and you can check out our wrap ups here. We also compiled a number of tours to look forward to this year, which you can check out at this location. Remember to check out our weekly New & Noteworthy column, sharing new releases and playlists for each month!
