Limp Bizkit's 'Gold Cobra' Projected To Sell 23K-27K First Week

According to Blabbermouth.net, "Gold Cobra", the long-awaited fifth studio album from Limp Bizkit, is likely to sell between 23,000 and 27,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on June 28 via Interscope. The CD was recorded with the band's original lineup of Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and DJ Lethal and was produced by Durst.

Commented Durst, "We've come full circle to absolutely own who we are as a band, an undisputed five-piece rap rock powerhouse who crushes every stage we play."

"Gold Cobra" comes in several configurations. The standard release features 13 new songs while the deluxe edition (available digitally only) features 16 new songs. Additionally, fans can purchase a physical CD that has 17 original songs exclusively at Best Buy, and that same release of 16 songs is available digitally at Napster.com.

Limp Bizkit has sold more than 35 million albums, filled concert arenas around the globe, and has received countless awards and accolades. Formed in 1995, Limp Bizkit achieved massive success with its studio album "Significant Other", which debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and went on to sell over 16 million copies worldwide. In 2000, the band's third studio album, "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water", continued the band's success by selling approximately 1.5 million copies in its first week, making it the fastest-selling rock album of all time. The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, and was voted Favorite Alternative group at the American Music Awards. They have also won numerous MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards.

Limp Bizkit is known for its strong connection to the fans and has more than 2 million followers on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.

Wes is hilarious at the start of this video. But yeah, can't understand why he turned down so many interesting collaboration offers to do this instead.
