RCA RecordsTool's fans are most definitely glad to see them back. 

Fear Inoculum, the band's first album in 13 years, has debuted in the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 all-genre albums chart.  Released August 30, the album moved 270,000 equivalent units its first week, according to Nielsen Music figures reported by Billboard.  Of those, 248,000 were physical album sales.

Those numbers make Fear Inoculum the biggest-selling rock album in the U.S. since Dave Matthews Band's Come Tomorrow, which sold 292,000 equivalent units for the week ending June 23, 2018. 

However, Come Tomorrow's numbers were bolstered by a concert ticket-album redemption promotion, whereas Tool had no such help.  Also, Fear Inoculum's available only as a digital download or an elaborate, limited-edition CD package that also functions as an HD video screen, complete with exclusive video footage and a 36-page booklet.  When you consider the package sold for around fifty bucks, it makes Tool's CD sales numbers even more impressive.

Fear Inoculum is Tool's third number-one album, following 2006's 10,000 Days and their 2001 release, Lateralus.

Jenna Black and Tyler Joseph; Gregg DeGuire/WireImageCongratulations are in order for Tyler Joseph.  The Twenty One Pilots frontman announced from the stage Saturday at Lollapalooza Berlin that he's going to be a new dad.

Joseph had help from his wife, Jenna Black, who joined him on stage to show off her baby bump. 

"I wanna pause the show for just a second, and I wanna bring a couple people out on stage, okay?" Joseph told the crowd during a pause in the show, as captured by fan-recorded video. 

Onto the stage walked not two people, but Jenna alone, both she and her husband beaming as the crowd cheered and Tyler revealed, "I know I said I'm bringing a couple people onstage, and that's two." 

Joseph knelt and kissed his wife's baby bump before escorting her off of the stage, then returned to launch into a performance of "Ride," from Blurryface.

This will be Tyler and Jenna's first child together.  They were married in March of 2015.

Roadrunner RecordsIt's been about five years since Slipknot came out with a new album.  With the dry spell finally over, fans catapulted the band's new album, We Are Not Your Kind, to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The band's sixth studio album and first since 2014's .5:The Gray Chapter dropped August 9 and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week, 102,000 of which were album sales, according to Nielsen Music numbers reported by Billboard.  Slipknot's numbers were bolstered by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer that started July 26.

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagicMuse lead singer Matt Bellamy married model Elle Evans on Saturday in a private ceremony.

Both the 41-year-old frontman and his 29-year-old bride posted photos of the two walking down the aisle on their Instagram accounts, with the caption, "Mr. & Mrs. Bellamy."

Saturday's ceremony came about a year-and-a-half after the couple got engaged.

"Just a few days after my birthday, on the most romantic holiday of our lives, the man of my dreams asked me to marry him!" Evans wrote at the time, just two days before Christmas in 2017. "After tears of joy, gasps of shock, and a split second of disbelief, of course, I said YES!"

Saturday's ceremony took place as Muse takes a break from their world tour in support of their eighth studio album, Simulation Theory.  The tour resumes next month in Norway.

Bellamy was engaged twice prior, including once to actress Kate Hudson, with whom he shares an 8-year-old son, Bingham.

Third Man RecordsThe Raconteurs have just scored their first Billboard 200 #1 album with Help Us Stranger.

Bouyed by the success of the singles “Sunday Driver,” “Now That You’re Gone” and “Help Me Stranger,” Help Us Stranger moved 88,000 equivalent album units for the week ending June 27, more than 84,000 of which were pure album sales. 

White released the album via his Third Man Records, with vinyl album sales accounting for 25,000 units sold -- no surprise, considering how much of a vinyl booster White is. Even so, Billboard reports that's the largest single-week number for vinyl sales in 2019 and the sixth-largest since 1991, when Nielsen Music began tracking sales data.

Help Us Stranger is the first chart-topping album for The Raconteurs, but its lead singer Jack White's fourth time atop the Billboard 200 -- the previous three trips to number one were as a solo artist.

The Raconteurs have cracked the top ten before, with 2006's Broken Boy Soldiers and 2008's Consolers of the Lonely.

The Raconteurs kick off their tour Thursday in Aspen, Colorado, with North American dates scheduled into November.
