"After he woke up on Sunday, Feb. 1, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine got out of bed and went into the kitchen of his home in Franklin, Tenn. He downed a variety of health and wellness liquids and supplements, then picked up his phone and noticed a text from his son, Justis, who works at the band's management company. It read, "We're number one!!!""
"Megadeth bested country singer Morgan Wallen's "I'm the Problem" by 4,000 units to take the top slot on the Billboard album chart. Aside from being the band's first No. 1 album, only three other hard rock/metal bands (Ghost, Sleep Token and AC/DC) have hit the top position in more than five years. Megadeth is far faster, louder and more aggressive than any of those acts."
Dave Mustaine woke on Feb. 1 at his Franklin, Tenn., home, took health and wellness supplements, and discovered a celebratory text from his son saying, "We're number one!!!" Megadeth's self-titled swansong had debuted at No. 1 in Australia and then overtook Morgan Wallen's "I'm the Problem" by about 4,000 units to claim the top spot on the U.S. Billboard album chart. The No. 1 is the band's first and occurs at a time when only a few hard rock/metal acts have reached that position recently. Mustaine is regarded as a pioneer of thrash metal, a fast, precise and aggressive subgenre.
