Three things in life are certain: death, taxes and that Metallica will dominate the charts with every chance they get. Billboard has now reported that The Metallica Blacklist, the 53-track covers album of only "Black Album" songs, has peaked at No. 7 on the Top Album Sales chart for the week ending on Oct. 7.

In a truly impressive feat, Metallica reached this mark in the second week after the star-studded tribute record was released with a total of 8,000 physical copies sold after first being available for purchase as a digital download, per another Billboard report. Of that total, 6,300 copies were CDs while vinyl made up the difference at 1,400 units.

Unsurprisingly, these sales figures also earned Metallica the top spot on Billboard's Compilation Albums chart, with more accolades coming by way of a No. 12 placement on the Top Rock Albums chart, No. 4 on the Hard Rock Albums chart and the No. 103 position on the Billboard 200.

The Metallica Blacklist loosely coincided with Metallica's 30th anniversary reissue of their historic self-titled 1991 record, better known as the "Black Album" due to its black-on-black cover art. The set includes covers by Ghost, Corey Taylor, Volbeat, Royal Blood, Weezer and so many more rock and metal icons as well as high profile artists from outside the realm of heavy music. See the full track listing directly below.
