Ghost Debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200

[StateOfShock]

I didn't even know they put out a new album. I'll have to check it out.

Least favorite Ghost cd

I like hard rock, I like metal, I like theatrical bands, I also like 80s pop, and I like a good gimmick band.

So on paper, they should be my perfect band but I just can't get into them. Yet. I'm trying. I appreciate what they're doing, and I'm glad they're doing well.

[Velvis]

Call me old, call me a hater, call me whatever you wish...

I could give 2 F#@ks about this band and still don't get it.

But of course, I respect the fact that this guy had been plugging away for years and eventually made it work!

But you like Takashi 69...

[HORRORHOLIC1979]

I really believe Ghost is some kind of joke that I am on the outside of.

They suck pretty bad and are bland and boring but so many people seem to like them.

I feel like a guy watching Spinal Tap that thinks they are a real band and doesn't get it. There is no way this many people like this crappy band, unless it's a joke.

I would rather listen to this than Ghost

Or it could just be people have different taste. Not everyone is gonna like the same thing.

So it basically sold 10,000 copies

I'm curious, does rock radio (regular FM) or SiriusXM play the singles on regular rotation? I don't listen to either. Glad to see a rock album (not debating the pop and 80s glam fusion) at #1.

Yes, always for the last 6 or 7 years! How else u think we hear the new music??

[REO Cokewagon]

Ever since "Square Hammer," Ghost has had lots of success at U.S. active rock radio, which is one of the reasons they graduated from cult curiosity to arena headliner.

Current chart = "Satanized" is #7 and rising (http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/fmqb/ch ... p?format=6)

Previous results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_discography

#1 with "Square Hammer"
#1 with "Rats"
#1 with "Dance Macabre"
#6 with "Faith"
#1 with "Hunter's Moon"
#1 with "Call Me Little Sunshine"
#5 with "Spillways"
#13 with the Genesis cover

Interestingly, their label didn't work "Mary on a Cross" as a radio single.

correct! except never heard faith or Genesis cover.
that-guy was seein' em before any of these came out, I dont know how he did it!
