Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
 
Earth is also on its way to burning up for real, but we’re not talking about that right now. It’s June now, meaning we’re heading into a slew of summer releases. As always, you can head over to Zach Fehl’s New & Noteworthy column to see what’s headed our way.
