Bruce Dickinson celebrates worldwide chart success of The Mandrake Project

Bruce Dickinson’s brand-new album, “The Mandrake Project”, has become a global smash hit with huge chart success already announced across Europe and further major worldwide chart positions to follow this week.

In Germany and Sweden, Bruce has topped the album charts, whilst in the UK the album has entered the Official Album Charts at No.3, just behind Liam Gallagher & John Squire at No.1, and narrowly pipped to the No. 2 spot by Rod Stewart and Jools Holland with a last-minute Mother’s Day surge of sales.

 
Elsewhere the album is already a Top 10 success in many European countries’ national charts including Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and France. And in Latin America’s iTunes charts, “The Mandrake Project” is Top 10 in both Brazil and Mexico, with many more countries following suit in the days to come.

Bruce – pictured above with his No.1 Award in Germany – comments; “I’m delighted that so many people love the record. It’s been incredible to hear directly from so many fans in the countries I’ve visited over the last week or so, and the chart positions are just icing on the cake to be honest. I can now focus on bringing The Mandrake Project & songs from my previous albums to life on the tour next month. See you on the road!” 

Featuring the singles “Afterglow of Ragnarok” and “Rain On The Graves“, the ten-track collection has been receiving swathes of critical acclaim, with rave reviews running around the world.

“The Mandrake Project” is Dickinson’s seventh solo album and is released via BMG worldwide on multiple formats. Order the LP here.

Bruce Dickinson and his phenomenal band will bring the music of “The Mandrake Project” to life with a major headline tour this spring and summer. The UK leg of the tour is in May with a number of shows already sold-out.
