Europe 2009, the new Dave Matthews Band box set, came in at No. 183 on this week's Billboard 200 album chart.
DMB's last five studio albums have all debuted at No. 1 -- most recently Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King in June -- but the band's live albums haven't fared as well recently. The last in-store release, Live at Mile High Music Festival, debuted at No. 97 in December 2008, and Live at Piedmont Park debuted at No. 68 in 2007.
Europe 2009 likely suffered because it is a box set that appeals more to hardcore fans and carries a $70 list price. It also wasn't available on iTunes.
