Ladbrokes have opened a book on who will reach Number One on the official UK album chart this weekend - dreary indie nerks Glasvegas or thrash legends Metallica?
Metallica's new album, Death Magnetic, will be released this Friday (September 12), giving it only two days to top the charts.
However K! is fairly confident James and Lars and co will do the business; 2003's St. Anger shifted a grand total of 46,000 copies in the UK week one. According to the midweek chart reports, Glasvegas' self-titled album has shifted a pitiful total of 29,000 copies. Slipknot's latest album, All Home Is Gone sold 22,000 on day one alone. Ha!
The odds at Labrokes are 1/2 (fav) Glasvegas and 6/4 Metallica.
