British heavy metal veterans Iron Maiden has entered the albums chart in the United Kingdom at number one withe their new studio album, "The Final Frontier," making it their first album to reach the top spot in their native country since 1992's "Fear Of The Dark." The album has also reached the number one spot in Finland, making it the second country in Scandinavia for the album to reach such a position, after it was announced yesterday that the album had topped the Swedish album charts, going Gold in the process. "The Final Frontier" has also done well in other European countries, reaching the number three spot in the Republic Of Ireland, and the number six placement in Belgium, as well reaching the number two spot in Australia.

I quite like the new album. It may actually be better than Fear Of The Dark so the chart psoitions are justified IMO.

Up The Irons!
