According to Billboard.biz, GUNS N' ROSES 'Chinese Democracy' makes a splashy bow across a bevy of Billboard's and Radio and Records' rock airplay charts - after only five days of airplay, too. It debuts at No. 12 on Mainstream Rock, No. 15 on Active Rock, No. 37 on Modern Rock and No. 7 on Rock . . . On Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, which began in 1981, it's the band's best debut since 1991 when 'Don't Cry' opened at No. 4.
