After a five year absence, rock band Evanescence returns to Billboard’s Top 200, scoring their second #1 album. Their self-titled third set opens with 127,000 copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan. The band, led by Amy Lee, last released an album in 2006, when The Open Door debuted at #1 with 447,000.
The new set’s first single, “What You Want,” rises 15-13 on the Rock Songs airplay chart this week, while also holding a bullet at No. 17 on the Alternative Songs tally. The group’s first album, 2003′s “Fallen,” spawned the Billboard Hot 100 hits “Bring Me To Life” (No. 5) and “My Immortal” (No. 7).
Elsewhere on the chart, last week’s chart champ Clear As Day from 2011 “American Idol” winner Scotty McCreery, falls to #4 with 88,000. Adele’s 21 holds at #2 with 111,000.
