In its first week of sales in the US, The Mandrake Project entered the Billboard 200. It debuted at number 5 on both the Top 200 Album Sales and Current Album Sales charts. It was also number 1 on both the Current Album Sales and Current Hard Rock Album Sales charts. In Canada it debuted at number 1 on the Top Canadian Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, and Hard Music Album Sales charts concurrently.
Here’s what Bruce had to say about the album’s success.
“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!”
