Asking Alexandria Grabs Second Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1

“Psycho” follows “Alone Again” (which hit No. 1 in 2021).

Asking Alexandria’s latest album, Where Do We Go from Here?, has earned 15,000 equivalent album units (2400 from sales) since its Aug 25 release.

This is a much higher discrepancy between sales and streaming than most Hard Rock artists. For example, Staind just moved 13,600 equivalent album units this week, and 11,200 of those were from album sales. Cannibal Corpse did 9100 equivalent album units, and 8500 of those were from album sales.
