The debut BLACK STAR RIDERS studio album, All Hell Breaks Loose, has entered the Billboard Heatseekers chart at #5 & the Billboard Hard Rock chart at #19 after selling 2,206 copies in the U.S. its first week. Having just made their live debut last week in the U.K. to a sold-out crowd, BSR vocalist & lyricist Ricky Warwick checks in from Germany with his reaction to the Billboard news:
“Myself and the BSR Boys are totally blown away by our U.S. chart placings. Thank you all for your continued support!”
