Going back further, Koi No Yokan (2012) sold 65,000 copies in its debut week and landed at No. 11 on the Billboard 200. The group’s 2010 outing Diamond Eyes yielded similar results, with 62,000 sold in its first week and a No. 6 showing on the Billboard 200.

Meanwhile, Diamond Eyes (2010) sold 62,000 in its first week, good enough for a No. 6 debut on the Billboard 200.

To date, the group’s debut LP, Adrenaline, which celebrated its 25 anniversary over the weekend, is the only Deftones album to never appear on the Billboard 200, though it was eventually certified Platinum by the RIAA.
