The album topped the UK charts for 2 weeks, launched them into the US Top 40 for the first time, and invaded the Top 10 album charts worlwide achieving a plethora of gold and platinum awards. The Number of the Beast, is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential Heavy Metal albums of all time, including, along with demonic title track, such classic metal anthems as Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Prisoner and Children of the Damned.
