Eleven Seven MusicMotley Crue has earned another top-10 album thanks to The Dirt.
The soundtrack to the band’s new biopic has debuted right at number 10 on the Billboard 200 with a total of 30,000 equivalent album units, 15,000 of which were traditional album sales. That gives the ’80s metallers their ninth top-10 record, and first in over 10 years.
In addition to a number of Crue classics, including “Kickstart My Heart,” “Dr. Feelgood,” and “Home Sweet Home,” The Dirt soundtrack features a cover of Madonna‘s “Like a Virgin” and three new songs: “Ride with the Devil,” “Crash and Burn” and “The Dirt (Est. 1981)” featuring rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who plays drummer Tommy Lee in the film.
The Dirt is streaming now on Netflix.
In other Crue news, don’t expect to see the band to join the newly inducted Def Leppard in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame any time soon. Bassist Nikki Sixx tells Kerrang! that they were, “told by the Hall of Fame that we would never get in, because of how we’ve acted.”
