Somehow, Metric has found their 2009 album, Fantasies, on the Billboard 200 album charts. After the recent success of the album’s third single, “Gold Guns Girls,” the album has entered the Top 200 at 162. Kind of remarkable given that this is the band’s third album and the band isn’t even on tour. They will be shortly (dates below). The band has also provided the Mike Shinoda remix of “Gold” for Music for Relief‘s Haiti compilation album. Shinoda’s band, Linkin Park, is prominent on the collection. The benefit, however, is a little dubious… through MfR’s “download to donate” plan, fans can download tracks and then chose to contribute to Haitian relief. We’re not sure why they don’t reverse the order of this plan to guarantee a donation, but the cause is certainly worthy.
