As previously reported, according to Billboard.com, IRON MAIDEN's The Final Frontier (EMI) starts a second week atop Billboard's European Albums chart. The Maiden album thus outdoes its studio predecessor "A Matter of Life and Death," which had one week at the pan-European summit in 2006. Frontier now debuts at No. 1 in Italy and retains its crown in France, Spain, Sweden, Norway and the Czech Republic, but drops from the top spot in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal and Germany.
The Artisan News Service spoke with Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris and singer Bruce Dickinson about the success of the band's latest album, The Final Frontier and will it be the last?
"I think not,' says Harris. "I think everyone knew when we put this album out people were going to be wondering about the title, if it was the beginning of the end or the end itself. Hopefully not. I would definitely like to make another album."Check out an Artisan News Service video interview below:
