Chickenfoot’s debut album, released earlier in June, opened at No. 4 in the U.S. pop chart and No. 1 in the independent music chart. It maintained its position in the main chart the following week before slipping to No. 7 in the latest list.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever been up in that territory, above the clouds,” said Satriani, who is embroiled in a copyright infringement suit with British band Coldplay over its hit single “Viva La Vida.”

According to band manager Mick Brigden, U.S. album sales totaled around 180,000 in the first three weeks, around one quarter of which were bought digitally, suggesting a younger, technology-savvie audience.
