Billboard is covering Iron Maiden this week!

http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?cat ... icleid=886

I got my copy of the magazine today. Not many news sales/charts wise, but there were SS numbers for their two biggest releases since 1991:

Fear Of The Dark (1992) - 438,000
Brave New World (2000) - 307,000

Neither are certified in the US, but Fear Of The Dark must be close to Gold.

Career albums sales are 70 million according to Billboard.

The Life After Death DVD has sold 35,000 according to Soundscan.

Fear Of The Dark sold 10,000 since March 2006 and Brave New World sold 14,000 since March 2006. Not huge catalog sales of course, but decent. At least they're still selling.

Especially impressive given they are not 'classic' Maiden albums. Wonder what the 80s albums do, especially 'Live After Death'?
