. The band released "Dark Before Dawn," their fifth studio album, last week and during its first week in stores is sold over 140,000 copies to land at the top of the charts.

Burnley had this to say about the album's big debut, "We all want to say a huge thank you to all of our amazing fans, everybody at radio and other media outlets for continuing to support Breaking Benjamin. "We are all so very thankful and extremely grateful for everything your love and support has allowed us to achieve. We'd be nothing without you! Thank you all so very much from the bottom of our hearts for getting us to No. 1! We'll see you all out there on tour!"
