How stupid. The link is being censored because there's a slang word in market watch. The article is from www.market watch.com

METALLICA's 'Black' LP On Track To Become Top-Selling AlbumReply with quote Edit/Delete this post Delete this post
METALLICA is in fourth place on Nielsen SoundScan's list of top-selling album artists, with cumulative sales of more than 51 million in the United States since the scanning service set up shop in May 1991.

METALLICA's self-titled album from 1991 (also known as the "black" album) is the No. 2 top-selling album of the SoundScan era. The LP shifted 242,000 units in the U.S. in 2008 to bring total sales to 15,319,000 (as of the close of 2008) and narrowing the gap to the No. 1 album on the list, SHANIA TWAIN's "Come on Over", to 154,000 copies. If these percentages keep up, "Metallica" will overtake "Come on Over" during 2009.
