Metallica's 1991 self-titled album has become the fourth studio release ever to reach a historic chart record. The album, affectionately known as The Black Album, has officially spent a total of 750 weeks on the Billboard 200.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
