Metallica's 30-Year-Old Song Finally Debuts On A Billboard Chart
Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' debuts on the Billboard Global 200 at No. 182, more than three decades ... More after its release, becoming the band's second career hit. SAN FRANCISCO, CA - AUGUST 12: (L-R) Robert Trujillo, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and James Hetfield of Metallica perform on Lands End stage during the 2017 Outside Lands Music And Arts Festival at Golden Gate Park on August 12, 2017 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic) 'Enter Sandman' has long reigned as one of Metallica's most successful songs. The group is responsible for some of the most commercially viable hard rock cuts of all time, and the classic smash may be the biggest of the bunch. Released in 1991 from the outfit's self-titled blockbuster album, 'Enter Sandman' remains hugely popular to this day all around the world. It's not uncommon to see the track appear on the Billboard charts, but this week, the title manages to debut on a ranking more than 30 years after its initial release. On this week's Billboard Global 200, 'Enter Sandman' finally arrives. Metallica's cut starts at No. 182 on the list of the most popular tracks throughout the globe. The ranking, introduced by Billboard five years ago, uses a methodology that blends both sales and streaming activity to show what people all around the planet are listening to — and this week, that includes Metallica. The hard rock superheroes have now scored just two hits on the Billboard Global 200. The group first arrived on the tally in July 2022 with 'Master of Puppets.' The following frame, the track climbed to an all-time peak of No. 20. So far, that cut stands as the band's only placement on the connected list, the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which is compiled in the same manner, but with streams and sales from U.S. consumers removed. 'Enter Sandman' is a winner in the United States as well, and its continued success in America may be largely to thank for the track's arrival on the Billboard Global 200. This frame, 'Enter Sandman' climbs one space on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, settling at lucky No. 13. That's the only ranking where the tune manages to ascend at the moment. 'Enter Sandman' is also a winner on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tallies, where it lives inside the top 10. On the former, the track holds steady at its all-time high of No. 3, while on the latter — which focuses on pure purchases — 'Enter Sandman' dips a single spot to No. 5. The smash has now spent triple-digit frames on all three of those U.S.-based tallies as of this period.

Sam Heughan to play Macbeth in Royal Shakespeare Company debut
OUTLANDER star Sam Heughan is to play Macbeth in his debut with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The British theatre company has announced its programme of events for 2025/2026, including a raft of plays that will be staged in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of famous playwright William Shakespeare. In the RSC's latest version of Macbeth, Scottish actor Heughan, 45, known for playing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser in romance drama Outlander, will star opposite The Day Of The Jackal actress Lia Williams, as Lady Macbeth. READ MORE: How Edinburgh became a capital truly fit for a king Heughan said: 'At age 18, standing on the main stage of the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh, playing 'spear-carrier number 2' (essentially a glorified extra) in a production of Macbeth, I could only dream of one day playing the infamous title character. 'It feels full circle to be returning to the stage, after over a decade working primarily in television and film. 'Not only is Macbeth my favourite Shakespeare play: intense, immediate and unsettling, it also happens to be famously Scottish. 'The RSC has always been at the pinnacle of my ambition and I feel deeply honoured and thankful to be working alongside some enormously talented and creative people. 'The Other Place is the perfect space to create an intense, intimate production and, like Lady M, we will be calling upon the spirits of the RSC's highly acclaimed past productions for their blessing.' David Tennant, Sir Ian McKellen, and Ralph Fiennes are among the actors who have played the famous character who, consumed by greed and power, murders the king to take the Scottish throne for himself. The new production will be shown at The Other Place theatre from October 9 to December 6. Elsewhere, four of Shakespeare's most famous characters have their stories revisited across two performances, also being staged at The Other Place, from January 2026. The first performance in All Is But Fantasy explores the story of Lady Macbeth, who is consumed by guilt after plotting to murder King Duncan, and Emilia, a character in tragedy play, Othello. The second performance looks at the story of Juliet, from tragic romance story Romeo And Juliet, and Richard III, who uses manipulation to become king in the eponymous play. READ MORE: Edinburgh Fringe programme launches with 3350 shows across 265 venues Olivier award-winning actor Adrian Lester will play the title role of Cyrano de Bergerac in a new version of Edmond Rostand's play about the novelist and playwright, showing at the Swan Theatre from September 27 to November 15. Over at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Harry Potter star Alfred Enoch will star as Henry V in a play running from March 14 to April 25 2026. Other highlights include an 80-minute staging of King Lear and a two-part adaptation of John Galsworthy's novels, The Forsyte Saga, both playing at the Swan Theatre later in the year, with the former also going on tour. The RSC is also staging plays in the West End and recently announced the UK premiere of Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth, which will play at Wyndham's Theatre, previewing on August 13 with a final performance on November 1. The production follows rival playwrights Christopher Marlowe, played by Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa, and Shakespeare, played by Killing Eve's Edward Bluemel.
