Even though it was not well-liked by critics, "Super Collider" debuted at number six on the "Billboard" 200. It sold 29,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week. Even though it sold fewer copies than the album before, "Thirteen" (42,000), it charted higher after the first week, because "Thirteen" debuted at number eleven. This makes the album Megadeth's highest-charting album in the U.S. since "Youthanasia", which peaked at number four in 1994.
