Blooddrunk hits the charts 24 Apr 2008 Blooddrunk first week chart positions: Finland #1 (second week #1 aswell), USA #22, Canada #7, Germany #10, Japan #12 (international chart #2), UK #44 (Rock albums chart #1), Austria #19 .. "We are so surprised about these chart things that are going on, it's amazing! Even though it's not the main thing for us to be high in charts, or whatsoever, it still feels really good. I think it indicates that metal people buy their records, even though the internet things can make music easily illegally available! We wanna thank people who've been supporting us in this matter! Respect!" Henkka and the Bodom boys Blooddrunk 12 Apr 2008 Children Of Bodom's highly anticipated 6th studio effort "Blooddrunk" is in stores worldwide!
