Last week in North America, Motörhead released their 986th album, The Wörld Is Yours. The album cracked the top 100, selling 7,000 copies in its first week, which is considered an impressive amount for a metal, unless you’re Metallica. Sure, 7,000 copies might not seem a lot but that’s more than their previous two albums (Motörizer in 2008 sold 6,400 in its first week and their 2006 release Kiss Of Death sold 3,500).
When asked for comment on the bands success over the last 30 years and what keeps them still going strong, Lemmy said “that was a great time, the summer of 71. I can’t remember it, but I’ll never forget it!”
