Chart Beat

Metallica's 'ReLoad' Soars Into the Top 10 of the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart Following Reissue

The 1997 album from the iconic heavy metal outfit lands at No. 9 following the release of a super deluxe box set. Plus, the chart celebrates Canada Day with re-entries from national icons Shania Twain, The Tragically Hip and The Weeknd.

The charts have reloaded, and Metallica is back in the top 10.

This week, the heavy metal legends land at No. 9 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with their seventh album ReLoad, originally released in 1997. The placement follows a special reissue of the album in the form of a super deluxe box set, which includes over 29 hours of material including demos, live performances and much more, spread across 15 CDs and 4 DVDs. It is also full of memorabilia such as prints, posters, tour laminates and an exclusive 7" vinyl of the album's biggest hit single, "The Memory Remains," which reached No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.
