Considering the #11 album this week sold 26,000 copies, I think you're likely wrong.

Really? I wasn't aware that album sales had dropped so dramatically since their last album.

Well Sevendust's last album Hope & Sorrow peaked at #19 with 25,000 so 30,000-35,000 should be a lock for top 20. I think top 10 will be dependent on the performance of other new releases this week.

Ah intriguing... Justin Bieber selling over 90,000. I think I'll stay in the corner after reading that bombshell.

It's going to have to stick around for awhile to do that probably. Ozzy is hot on its heels (he passed them yesterday only to momentarily retreat today). And Chevelle is not falling quite fast enough. If "Unraveling" can pull what "Driven" did and stay bulleted for the majority of its first 20 weeks on the chart, then I think it has a good shot, but it needs some of the holdout stations to add it soon or it's going to start falling.

Cold Day Memory sold 27,694 copies in it's first week, taking the # 11 spot.
One spot away from a top 10 album dammit! Gah. I wouldn't be surprised if "Unraveling" ends up peaking at #11 as well.

Well those projections were based on one or two days of sales. Considering the nature of their fanbase, they're the type that buy the album the day it comes out, so it probably didn't sell super well after that.

If this can fend off a huge debut from Korn, it should be able to sneak in at least one week at #10.

I can't say for sure with mediabase not having updated in a few days, but this song has likely settled on its peak of #7 on BDS active, #7 on Billboard Mainstream Rock. and #8 on Mediabase active (though it was a mid-week #7). At least in the case of its Billboard peak, that's three spots higher than anything their previous best of #10 in "Enemy" and "Driven", though both of those fared better at alternative than "Unraveling". But both of those went for adds at alternative, and given how successful "Unraveling" has been on active, what are they waiting for? Are they gonna send this to alternative or what? It's now or never.
Given this song seems to at least have reached its peak on active, their next single should be coming fairly soon. My vote would be for either "Confessions" (the most radio-friendly track) or "Better Place" (my favorite song on the album). They should probably release "Confessions" #2 and send "Better Place" #3. And then if those somehow do better than the second and third singles off most Sevendust albums, close out the era with "Splinter" or "The End Is Coming" 4th to remind people that they're still heavy.

You're forgetting the awesome potential of "Nowhere" and "Karma" as single options, or even "Last Breath".

Yeah this album is loaded with singles (whether that's a good or bad thing is up for debate). Unfortunately, given Sevendust's track record, unless the second and third singles also outperform previous second and third singles like "Unraveling", then we'll probably get a second single in the peaking in the 20s and a third single peaking in the 40s and that'll be it.
My CDM album ranker:
1. Better Place 2. Unraveling 3. Here And Now 4. Splinter 5. Confessions (Without Faith) 6. Nowhere 7. Strong Arm Broken 8. The End Is Coming 9. Last Breath 10. Karma
(big divide)
11. Forever 12. Ride Insane

I could actually see Forever doing quite well but it isn't a very highly regarded song for some reason. My vote is for either Last Breath or Here and Now, then Nowhere and close it off with Splinter.
1. Last Breath 2. Forever 3. Here and Now 4. Karma 5. Nowhere 6. Splinter 7. Confessions 8. Unraveling 9. The End Is Coming 10. Strong Arm Broken 11. Better Place 12. Ride Insane.

I like this song and I'm far from being a Sevendust fan. I guess I must give a chance to their new album. Then, if I enjoy it, I'll go back to their catalog.

Based on what I think are your tastes, you should try "Confessions" off the new album and "Broken Down" off their album Seasons. Also, given you like uptempo punk songs, you might like "Suffocate", but it's slightly heavier than the others I mentioned. If you like what you hear, my guess is that those two albums and Animosity would be the best three to check out.
Also if you like ballads, check out "Angel's Son" and "Skeleton Song" if you wanna hear the prettier side.
Those are my expert suggestions. =)

I can honestly say this song is the first I've really enjoyed by these guys.
