Fueled by hit single 'Check My Brain', currently No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Rock Songs and Alternative Charts and No. 5 on both the Canadian Rock and Modern Rock Radio Charts, new ALICE IN CHAINS album Black Gives Way To Blue (Virgin/EMI) entered the Canadian Soundscan Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 4 and Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 5.
