With its ninth studio album, “Death Magnetic,” Metallica has become the first band to have five consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. That breaks a tie with the Beatles, U2 and the Dave Matthews Band, which all had four number ones.

“Death” was released on Friday, and in only five days, has sold almost 500,000 copies.

The guys, profiled in a recent Rolling Stone interview (http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/23089135), are also heading on tour this fall – with Richmond’s Lamb of God one of the chosen support acts. They’ll hit the Verizon Center in D.C. in January.
