If you've been following Crunchyroll News, you're undoubtedly familiar with Japan's mini-metal heads BABYMETAL.
Evidently, “Gimmie Choco!!” was what it took for the rest of the world to discovered them, because, this week coverage was everywhere from Gawker to USA Today. It's now been viewed over 2.6 million times.
The break out week also saw their self titled album hit the top of the iTunes Metal chart in the US (34 overall), UK, Canada and beyond. In the US, it also topped the Rock album chart.
It got to No.20 on Billboard “Heatseekers Albums” chart.
