METALLICA is one of the top-selling artists since Nielsen SoundScan
began tracking album sales in May 1991, with cumulative U.S. sales of
more than 53 million copies. The band's 1991 self-titled fifth album,
commonly known as "the black album," in 2009 surpassed SHANIA TWAIN's 1997 record, "Come On Over", as the best-selling CD of the SoundScan era. To date, the black album has sold 15,735,000 copies, eclipsing "Come On Over"'s total of 15,513,000.
The Nielsen SoundScan
system began compiling sales electronically more than 19 years ago on a
weekly basis, providing more accurate sales figures that form the basis
for the Billboard music charts.
Although METALLICA had scored their first radio and video airplay with their previous effort, 1988's "...And Justice For All",
the black album was the band's biggest commercial breakthrough,
producing five singles and making them into one of the most popular rock
bands in the world.

METALLICA's self-titled fifth album came out 20 years ago this past August and Gibson.com
celebrated by compiling a number of quotes from the band members and
others into a brief oral history of the project. According to The Pulse Of Radio, the record made METALLICA
into superstars after being cult metal heroes for the first eight years
of their career, even as it found the band slowing down and abandoning
its thrash metal beginnings for a more mainstream, yet still heavy,
style.
