According to Billboard.com, METALLICA‘s “Hardwired” has entered the Billboard + Twitter Top Tracks chart at position No. 2. The cut also landed at No. 18 on the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart after less than three days of airplay in the track week ending August 21. It’s the 32nd-charting song for the band on Mainstream Rock Songs, stretching back to the debut of “One” on the March 11, 1989-dated list.

“Hardwired” is the opening song from METALLICA‘s new album, “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct”, which will be released on November 18 via Blackened Recordings. The long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s “Death Magnetic” consists of two discs, containing a dozen songs and nearly 80 minutes of music.

“Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” was produced by Greg Fidelman with Hetfield and Ulrich. The band recorded the disc at its own studio and is still putting the finishing touches on the LP.

“Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” will be issued on double CD, vinyl and digital download. A deluxe version will feature a bonus disc containing the riffs that formed the origins of the album along with “The Lords Of Summer”, which the band debuted on tour a couple of years ago.
