The Mandrake Project celebrates global success

Bruce Dickinson’s new album, The Mandrake Project, has become a global smash hit with huge chart success already announced across Europe and Latin America, with further major worldwide chart positions to follow this week.

In Germany and Sweden, Dickinson has topped the album charts, while in the UK, the album has entered the Official Album Charts at No. 3, just behind Liam Gallagher & John Squire at No. 1, and narrowly pipped to the No. 2 spot by Rod Stewart and Jools Holland with a last-minute Mother’s Day surge of sales.

In the first week of sales in the US, The Mandrake Project enters the Billboard 200 and is Dickinson’s highest-charting solo album, debuting at No. 5 on both the Top 200 Album Sales and Current Album Sales charts and No. 1 on both the Current Rock Album Sales and Current Hard Rock Album Sales charts. In Canada the album debuts at No. 1 on the Top Canadian Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, and Hard Music Album Sales charts concurrently.

Elsewhere, the album is already a Top 10 success in many European countries’ national charts including Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and France. And in Latin America’s iTunes charts, The Mandrake Project is Top 10 in both Brazil and Mexico, with many more countries following suit in the days to come.

“I’m delighted that so many people love the record,” Dickinson shares. “It’s been incredible to hear directly from so many fans in the countries I’ve visited over the last week or so, and the chart positions are just icing on the cake to be honest. I can now focus on bringing The Mandrake Project and songs from my previous albums to life on the tour next month. See you on the road!

The Mandrake Project is Dickinson’s seventh solo album and is released via BMG worldwide in multiple formats. Sonically heavy and rich in musical textures, The Mandrake Project sees Dickinson bring to life a musical vision long in the making. Created with co-writer and producer Roy Z, they have crafted one of the defining rock albums of 2024.

Dickinson and his phenomenal band will bring the music of The Mandrake Project to life with a major headline tour this spring and summer. Support in the UK, Paris & Tilburg comes from New Zealand up-and-coming rockers Black Smoke Trigger.
