Motörhead Rocks Back To No. 1
Motörhead's The Manticore Tapes debuts at No. 1 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart and enters ... More four other U.K. rankings inside the top 10. UNITED KINGDOM - JANUARY 01: Photo of LEMMY and MOTORHEAD; posed, group shot - L-R: Philthy Animal, Lemmy, 'Fast' Eddie Clarke (Photo by Estate Of Keith Morris/Redferns) A decade after the band's breakup and the death of frontman Lemmy Kilmister, Motörhead is back with a new album. The Manticore Tapes has been called a lost album by some, as it features tunes recorded by the hard rock group in 1976, when the outfit was still brand new. The full-length marks the first proper album from Motörhead in 10 years, and its arrival — paired with the positions it opens in on a variety of charts in the United Kingdom — show just how dedicated the band's fans remain. The Manticore Tapes Debuts at No. 1 Most excitingly, The Manticore Tapes opens at No. 1 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. Motörhead collects its fourth leader on that genre-specific tally, having previously topped the list with The Wörld Is Yours, Bad Magic, and Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin. The rockers have now racked up a total of 42 appearances on the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking, with 28 of those projects reaching the top 10. Motörhead Lands Four Top 10 Debuts Speaking of the top 10, The Manticore Tapes opens inside that lofty region on four of the six tallies it appears on in the U.K., including the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. Motörhead's latest starts at No. 6 on the Official Vinyl Albums list and No. 7 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings. The Album Misses Only the Top 10 Once The Manticore Tapes gets off to a less impressive beginning on both the Official Album Downloads chart and the list of the most consumed releases in the country. On the former tally, Motörhead enters at No. 63. On the latter roster, which is the most competitive in the country, the rock group reaches just one space higher. A New High on the Vinyl Ranking Motörhead scores its fourth top 10 on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, while the group also nabs its second-ever placement inside the top arena on the list of the bestselling vinyl collections in the U.K. Motörhead debuted on the vinyl tally with Bad Magic, which was released just months before Lemmy passed away from cancer. That project soared to No. 3, and since then, the band has appeared on the list more than a dozen times — but none of those efforts climbed into the top 10, until this week.
