Buckcherry in the top 10 and announce tour

Buckcherry scored their first Top 10 album today on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 album chart with Black Butterfly, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2006’s RIAA-certified platinum 15.

Black Butterfly debuted at #8 on the chart, the highest debuting rock album.

“Buckcherry keeps letting it rip,” said People magazine in a 3/4 star review of the album.

“There’s no denying it, Buckcherry is what in-your-face rock ‘n’ roll is all about.”—Associated Press
