Commercial performance
New World Disorder has been considered a commercial disaster for the band. The album charted at number 187 on the Billboard 200 chart.[13] By January 2000, the album had sold 40,000 copies in the US, and by May 2002 had sold 51,408 copies in the US according to Nielsen Soundscan.[14] In January 2000, Evan Seinfeld claimed that the album had sold 250,000 copies worldwide.[15]
Following the poor sales of the album, Biohazard left Mercury Records in late 1999. Since then, band has been hostile to questions about their record deal with Mercury; Evan Seinfeld said that Mercury had "slipped" with the album's promotion as the reason the band left the label.[16] When asked about the record deal in 2018, Echeverria said "no comment".[17]
