IRON MAIDEN's new album, "The Final Frontier", has entered the official Swedish chart at position No. 1. The CD, which has already been certified gold in Sweden for sales in excess of 20,000 copies, came out a week after the band performed in front of 47,000 people at the Swedish installment of the 'Sonisphere' festival in Stockholm.

(Note: The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry [IFPI] in Sweden has revised the sales requirements for albums to reach gold status in the country twice in the last eight years - from the pre-2002 level of 40,000 to the current 20,000.)
