To my surprise this weekend I found out that the new album from the Deftones had debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, selling over 62.000 copies in its first week.
It is true that this album (so far) sold less than the previous one, but we must not forget that many people downloaded down the songs when some songs appeared shortly before the release of the album. The difference between this album and the previous one, is that Saturday Night Wrist debuted at number 10 on the Billboard Chart.
If you have not noticed (from my previous posts) I declare myself a loyal fan of the deftones (between some other bands), and since I found out they were doing a new album I put on a campaign to promote the new material and followed them closely over the past five months. My reaction is not only attributed to fan concerned, even tho we all want to know what will offer our favorite band, but it is because of what the band went thru these last two years, the band has gone through many things, being the most outstanding, the Chi Cheng accident.
It was impossible for me not to take a stand on this, i mean, to what happened to him and therefore the band, I could not be indifferent and only interested in music. Currently I follow closely news about Chi through their official website oneloveforchi.com, which gradually publishes articles on his health or progress in his state (subject of a new post), the same for deftones.com.
Anyway, for any fan is a good news that the effort the band put on a new material (a very positive one considering the situation) has paid off, and that they not only benefit from it but also his band partner.

El fin de semana me encontre con la sorpresa de que el nuevo album de los Deftones habia debutado en el puesto numero 6 del Billboard Chart Top 200, vendiendo 62,000 copias en su primera semana.
Es verdad que este disco (hasta ahora) vendio menos que el anterior pero, no hay que olvidar que muchas personas bajaron el disco por internet cuando algunas canciones aparecieron un poco antes del estreno del disco. La diferencia de este disco y el anterior, es que Saturday Night Wrist debuto en el numero 10 del Billboard Chart. .
Si no lo han notado (por mis anteriores posts) me declaro una fiel fan de los deftones (entre algunas bandas mas), y desde que me entere que estaban realizando un nuevo disco me puse en campaña para promocionar el material anunciado y los seguí de cerca durante los últimos 5 meses. Mi reacción no solo la atribuyo a un fanatismo interesado, aunque a todos nos interesa saber que va a ofrecer nuestra banda preferida, pero por que se que en estos últimos 2 años, la banda a pasado por muchas cosas, siendo la mas sobresaliente, el accidente de Chi Cheng.
Fue imposible para mi no tener una posición ante esto, es decir,con lo que le paso a el y por ende a la banda, yo no pude ser indiferente y solamente interesarme por la música. Actualmente sigo de cerca noticias sobre Chi a través de su pagina oficial oneloveforchi.com, la cual poco a poco publica artículos sobre su salud o sobre progresos en su estado (tema de un nuevo post), lo mismo por deftones.com.
De todas formas, para cualquier fan es una buena noticia saber que el esfuerzo que la banda a puesto en un nuevo material (uno muy positivo considerando la situacion) haya dado sus frutos, y que ellos no solamente se beneficien de ello pero tambien su compañero de banda.
