Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
 
Find your favorite albums of the year yet? I’m still sorting through a sizable backlog where new bands are added each day. Like the new Fates Warning, which I somehow did not realize was coming out but, well, here we are with the band in the top 20 current albums, resting between two Christmas albums. Yes you may as well get those metal Christmas albums ready now because it’s already starting.
