MEGADETH's previous CD, “United Abominations”, opened with around 54,000 copies in the U.S. to debut at No. 8. This was more than the 46,000 first-week tally registered by its predecessor, “The System Has Failed” (which landed at No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart), and was a bit less than the 61,000 opening number of 2001's “The World Needs A Hero” (No. 16).
