This list is far from complete. Many countries were excluded from it because their Industry Associations lacked a searchable, online database. Belgium, Iceland and Mexico are some of them.[1] Some European countries who do have it (Greece,[2]Hungary[3] and Spain)[4] were excluded anyway, because their databases showed no relevant sales pertaining industrial rock and metal groups. Latin American countries with online databases (Argentina[5] and Brazil[6]) were excluded over the same principle.
