America retains the top spot with a 50 percent margin, and three of the five were from California, whose San Francisco Bay Area sound was the genre's most defining, so metal sticks to tradition. Nevada and New York also clocked in an entry apiece.
Canada came in at a distant second place with two bands in the Ten, and Scandinavians Sweden and Finland proving they can also thrash.

Metal Core/Nu-Metal
America came in first, taking half the top ten thanks to albums from Arizona, Texas, Florida, California, and Oregon
The Top album was from a Canadian band
France took the number two spot with two bands making it, while Russia and Brazil both only have one entry.
These are from the mainstream metal top 10, which is a blend of the more commercial-oriented metalcore bands, as the more deathcore-like bands are on the extreme list.
Prog Metal
America took the top spot with three bands, from New York, North Carolina, and the number one spot went to a band from Georgia.
Norway and France tied for second place with two bands apiece.
Germany, Italy, and Sweden all had entries as well.
If this seems like an odd mix keep in mind I stay away from the bands who call themselves prog jsut for the sake of wanking.
Hardcore
This year not a wide reach when it came to hardcore, with America laying the smack down with six of the ten entries, three of them from New York, which should not be a surprise; the rest hailed from Missouri, Idaho, and New Jersey, which took the top spot
The Uk has three bands and Canada, one.
The rising tide of European hardcore we saw last year came and went.
