Foo Fighters: Wasting Light Debuts At No 1 In 12 Countries!

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RCA) Foo Fighters' seventh album has become its first to hit No 1 in the band's native U.S., selling 235,000 in the week since its April 12 release via Roswell/RCA-more than double the week's No 2 seller (Adele) and more than the combined sales of the three other Top 5 debuts (Alison Krauss, Paul Simon, Mana).

Wasting Light debuts at No 1 in eleven other countries-including the UK where it ends Adele's 11-week run atop the albums chart, and Australia and New Zealand where it has had the biggest first week digital album sales in both country's chart histories.
