I guarantee you anything that i am right. all these bands did not peak between any of those years. Give Me one source where it says that A Album Debuted at that position. NOt that a band's debute album reached a peak position very big difference. all those bands of the new wave of british heavy metal did not go gold untill later years and then platinum i guarantee you anything. As a matter of fact Iron maiden was barely touring with Judas Priest.
From the sleevenotes of Iron Maiden`s first album...

Feb 23rd 1980 - Running Free is released & reaches no 34 in the UK charts.The band become the first band to play on Top Of The Pops totally live since The Who in 1972.

April 14 1980 - The band release their debut album charting at No 4. They play a charity gig at the Ruskin Arms to celebrate.

June 7th - Sanctuary released charts at No 29

August 23rd - Band play 2nd on the bill to UFO at the Reading festival in front of 30,000 fans.
Now why would you play a celebratory gig at reaching no 4 in the charts years before it happened huh?
And you`re hardly likely to play 2nd on the bill at Reading if you have no fans right?
