RONNIE JAMES DIO's (BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF) popularity is greater than ever, as clearly proven by the strong chart showing of the recently released, Dio At Donington. The first-ever release from the newly formed Niji Entertainment Group, Dio At Donington scanned a total of 5,836 units in its first week, resulting in Dio's best Billboard charting debut ever in the Soundscan era. As a result, the album - which features a pair of vintage, kick-ass Dio concert performances from 1983 and 1987 - will debut at #98 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. Additionally, Dio went from #5 to #1 (with a bullet) on the CMJ Loud Rock Radio Chart this week.

The greatest heavy metal singer of all time continues to amaze and prosper - Dio At Donington is the sonic proof.

Dio At Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987 features material recorded on the Holy Diver and Dream Evil tours respectively. The package will reportedly feature All Access laminates from '83 and '87, and rare pictures from both shows.
