Limp Bizkit is back on the Billboard charts this week, but not with a new release. Instead, the nu metal band sees one of its oldest tracks finally earn a new home more than two decades after it first dropped. 'Rollin'' appears on one Billboard ranking for the first time ever, and it doesn't just show up — it rocks straight into the top 10.
Limp Bizkit's 'Rollin'' debuts at No. 10 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this week. The track narrowly manages to find space on Billboard's list of the bestselling tracks in that one genre, as the tally now features just 10 spaces. Any time a tune arrives, it becomes a top 10 hit, and the rockers add another smash to their list of wins.
'Rollin'' becomes Limp Bizkit's fourth top 10 hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. It's also the group's sixth appearance on the tally overall. While the chart now only features 10 positions, it used to run longer.
Prior to this frame, Limp Bizkit had already reached the uppermost tier with 'Break Stuff' (No. 3), 'Dad Vibes' (No. 4), and 'Ready to Go' with Lil Wayne (No. 6).
The sudden success of 'Rollin'' can be attributed to Devil May Cry, Netflix's new action-packed animated series. Based on the beloved video game franchise, the show premiered in early April and was quickly renewed for a second season thanks to strong viewership numbers and a warm reception from critics.
The series features several hard rock staples, but 'Rollin'' appears to be the clear breakout from the soundtrack. It's the one cut that's gained the most traction across digital platforms, and, seemingly, sold the best.
Limp Bizkit's presence on the charts in America this frame isn't limited to just one title. 'Break Stuff,' another fan favorite from the group's heyday, is also growing. This week, it lifts from No. 21 to No. 18 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. The title has now spent 109 frames on that ranking and previously climbed as high as No. 7.
'Rollin'' was first released in 2000 as a single from Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. That laughably-titled album turned out to be a huge commercial success, as it reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has already been certified six-times platinum.
The song became one of Limp Bizkit's most recognizable anthems, earning massive airplay and becoming a staple of early 2000s rock radio. Now, nearly 25 years later, it's experiencing a second wave of success, with a little help from Netflix.

How Old Is the Cast of 'Ginny & Georgia' on Netflix? - 'Ginny & Georgia' Cast Real Ages
It's back! Ginny and Georgia season three has officially landed on Netflix, reuniting us with one of the most chaotic towns in America: Wellsbury. The third season sees Georgia face trial for the murder of Cynthia's husband Tom and if that wasn't already dramatic enough, there's friendship breakdowns, new romances and high school dances to contend with. But, amongst all the madness, we can't help but be distracted by one small, but very important detail—Austin is supposed to be 9-years-old?! The younger child of Georgia Miller, Austin, is meant to be nine years old in the events of season two and three, but given it's been two years since the show was last on TV, Diesel La Torraca who plays Austin has of course grownup and is now a 14-year-old playing a 9-year-old. Yeah, the math isn't mathing on this one... And he's not the only cast member in Ginny and Georgia to be playing a different age to his own. In fact, the majority of the teenage cast are played by fully grown adults in their mid 20s. Curious to know more? These are the exact ages of the Ginny and Georgia cast and the characters they play.

Matt Damon box office bomb with only 47% on RT becomes Netflix smash hit
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Despite his string of hit roles in everything from Good Will Hunting and The Bourne Identity to, most recently, Oppenheimer, not everything Matt Damon stars in is as successful. However, one of his biggest bombs is finding a new life after becoming a smash hit on Netflix. Released in 2017, Downsizing wasn't well received. It has just 47% on Rotten Tomatoes and was a box office bomb after its $55 million earnings failed to match its budget. However,in the UK, it was added to Netflix on Thursday, May 22, and it's been steadily climbing Netflix's rankings and gaining viewers. At the time of writing two weeks later, it's the streamer's most-watched movie. Living in the US? Downsizing is free via Hoopla and Kanopy but is only available to buy or rent digitally beyond those options. Downsizing is part romance, part comedy and part sci-fi story. It's set in a world in which humans invent 'downsizing', a process by which people are irreversibly shrunk to about five inches, which makes them more space efficient thereby solving overpopulation and the climate crisis. Damon plays Paul, who decides to go through the process with his wife Aubrey (Kristin Wiig)... until she pulls out at the last minute and leaves him. Stuck in his small form, and seeing his life fall apart, Paul goes on a voyage through the small 'Leisureland' in order to find himself and redefine his life. Critics of 2017 criticized Downsizing for being a bit muddled in its focus, though it's worth pointing out that certain reviewers really loved it. As someone who watched the movie in cinemas back then, it's safe to say that the movie was mis-marketed in a way that hurt it: posters and adverts made it look like a standard American comedy, but it's anything but. In a way, Downsizing is an exploration of the climate crisis and humanity's longevity, dealing with themes of class struggles and impending extinction events. It can get dark and melancholy at times, which isn't what audiences would really expect from a Matt Damon rom-com. That's likely why Downsizing was received so poorly eight years ago. It's not a bad film, but if you're expecting a lighthearted comedy, you're going to be disappointed. The movie was directed by Alexander Payne, also known for The Descendants and The Holdovers, and if you've seen those fantastic movies, you'll have your expectations better aligned for Downsizing. Downsizing climbing up Netflix's rankings makes sense: people have probably forgotten any expectations created by marketing 8 years ago, the streamer's thumbnails make it seem more of a sci-fi story than a comedy, and its genre tags are "cerebral" and "imaginative" which better fits the movie. The movie isn't actually the only pre-Covid Hollywood flop on the top-10 movies list and if you want something more action-packed, the Taron Edgerton and Jamie Foxx Robin Hood from 2018 is at #4 after being added on Sunday, June 1. Rounding out the list is Netflix Original A Widow's Game at #2, Channel 4 doc Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax at #3, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning at #5, stalwart The Super Mario Bros. Movie at #6, another Netflix movie The Heart Knows at #7, The Cat in the Hat at #8, Netflix doc A Deadly American Marriage at #9 and yet another kids movie Minions at #10.

Lil Wayne Gets Earnest With Bono, and 9 More New Songs
Every Friday, pop critics for The New York Times weigh in on the week's most notable new tracks. Listen to the Playlist on Spotify here (or find our profile: nytimes) and at Apple Music here, and sign up for The Amplifier, a twice-weekly guide to new and old songs. Lil Wayne featuring Bono, 'The Days' 'I ain't gettin' younger, but I'm gettin' better,' Lil Wayne declares in 'The Days,' a rock anthem about survival and seizing the moment: 'If my days are numbered, treat every day like Day One.' None other than Bono shares the song, starting and ending it and singing about 'the days that tell you what life is for,' while the production emulates U2's grand marches. Elsewhere on his new album, 'Tha Carter VI,' Lil Wayne offers his usual punchlines and free associations; here, he's unabashedly earnest. Water From Your Eyes, 'Life Signs' The Brooklyn duo Water From Your Eyes revels in musical jump cuts and not-quite-sequiturs. 'I am coming apart / I'm becoming together, true to form,' Rachel Brown sings in 'Life Signs' from an album due in August. Nate Amos's guitars leap from wiry, hopscotching math-rock lines to brute-force distortion and back; Brown deadpans through monotone verses, but offers a wistful melody in the chorus. By the end of the song, somehow it all makes sense. Sabrina Carpenter, 'Manchild' Sabrina Carpenter lightheartedly and brutally dissects what might be called a himbo in 'Manchild.' In a track that starts as synth-pop and ends up as country-rock, she mock-appreciates how 'your brain just ain't there' with a guy who can't charge a phone, much less satisfy her. 'I like my men all incompetent,' she claims, barely suppressing a giggle. Addison Rae, 'Fame Is a Gun' Who could be better than Addison Rae, the TikTok sensation turned pop songwriter, to sing about craving attention, achieving the 'glamorous life' and dealing with all the parasocial fallout? 'I live for the appeal,' she sings, adding, 'It never was enough / I always wanted more.' Yet she also realizes, 'I'm your dream girl, but you're not my type.' The production cycles through its three chords with an insistent pulse that hints at the pressure to keep generating more content. Sudan Archives, 'Dead' Sudan Archives — the songwriter, violinist and producer Brittney Parks — powers through an identity crisis with the shape-shifting, maximalist, ultimately unstoppable track 'Dead.' She asks 'Where my old self at?' and 'Where my new self at?' and teases 'Did you miss me?' and 'Do you miss me?' In four minutes, the song morphs among quasi-orchestral string arrangements, spacey electronics and walloping dance beats, then merges them all in a triumphant closing stomp. Want all of The Times?
