Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
Now I know what you’re all thinking: why isn’t the top debut of the week Voyager by 311? Well, partially because the only time we really talk about 311 on here is on “311” day a.k.a. March 11th because it’s funny. But also, I just thought Torche should be the focus this week because they’re Torche. But, hey, in case you really want to know: Voyager debuted at #2 and sold 18,125 copies. So yeah, 311 is doing just fine. Moving on!
Notable Debuts:

Torche’s fifth album didn’t sell as much as its predecessor, but it’s their highest charting yet.
