Iron Maiden's Live After Death Enters The UK Charts At Number One

• 13th Feb 2008

Iron Maiden’s year has got off to a roaring start with the February 4th release of the band’s long-awaited DVD ‘Live After Death’ smashing straight into the UK music DVD charts at Number One not only outpacing its nearest competitor by three to one, but outselling the rest of the Top 6 combined!

Internationally it has been a similar story with no.1’s in Australia (gold first day), France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland and Germany, where the DVD also spectacularly crashed into the Top 10 Album chart due to such unprecedented high sales! ‘Live After Death’ also entered the music DVD charts at no. 2 in Portugal, Norway and Ireland and Top 3 entries are expected from the USA and Canada later this week.

This news comes as Iron Maiden announce the addition of Dutch band Within Temptation and the USA's mighty Avenged Sevenfold to the bill of their previously announced July 5th show at Twickenham Stadium, the first time Iron Maiden have played a stadium gig on home turf as opposed to headlining the major festivals. This will be Maiden’s only UK show this year.
