Like I say I didn't listen to the radio much or pay attention to the charts. I still don't so I suppose Im not really in any position to make statements...
Their top 40 is the same as the UK, most metal may not get played that much on UK radio but SOAD, Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park have sold millions of albums around the world and all highly commercial.

of these bands this is my opinion:
SOAD- Great and original metal act
Slipknot- Don`t deserve the bad rap they get.
Korn- Classic debut album and the follow-ups pretty good as well, not a huge fan but will listen to them.
Limp Bizkit- I`m a fan of this group and again the huge dislike of this group is not justified
Linkin Park- Biggest load of crap out there!!!
