Disturbed May Soon Make History With Another No. 1
Lately, Disturbed has been enjoying a particularly notable run on the Billboard charts. While the group first rose to fame in the early 2000s, recent years have brought new highs, thanks largely to an old favorite, a hugely successful cover – and its smart remix – and even a new hit that may just be getting started. The rock outfit has evolved into a reliable chart mainstay throughout the decades, and 2025 might turn out to be one of its biggest years ever.
The band's latest single, 'I Will Not Break,' has only been out for a little more than a month, but it's already a big win on the charts in America. The track fronts what appears to be a forthcoming full-length, though Disturbed hasn't shared much about the new era just yet.
This week, the cut is present on four separate Billboard rankings. It appears inside the top five on three of them and nearly rules one – and it may have a chance to do so very soon.
On the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, 'I Will Not Break' moves up from No. 3 to No. 2. That's a new peak for the track, one which it reached after just five weeks on the tally. This time around, the only title standing in the way is 'Even If It Kills Me' by Papa Roach, which is enjoying its third frame at No. 1 out of 10 total on the list.
If 'I Will Not Break' can rise one more position, it will mark Disturbed's thirteenth No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. That's not just a lucky number — it could be a historic one for the band.
The group is currently tied with Linkin Park on the list of the most successful acts in the history of the tally, as both have claimed 12 chart-toppers on the genre-specific ranking. Scoring one more would break that match and place Disturbed in elite company, matching both Van Halen and Godsmack with 13 wins – enough to tie for the sixth-most No. 1s of all time.
Beyond its placement on Mainstream Rock Airplay, 'I Will Not Break' is also a smash on several other rankings. This week, it returns to its all-time peak of No. 4 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. It also dips slightly on the Hot Hard Rock Songs roster, falling just one space to No. 5.
The tune isn't doing quite as well on the more competitive Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, where it slips from No. 43 to No. 46. That list includes some of the most popular tracks across genres that overlap, so it's not surprising that 'I Will Not Break' doesn't shine as brightly there.

Designer apologizes for Adidas sandal design
MEXICO CITY -- Mexican-American clothing designer Willy Chavarria has apologized for an Adidas sandal he created after being accused by Mexican authorities of 'cultural appropriation' for imitating an Indigenous shoe design. The design launched by Adidas, known as the Oaxaca Slip On, is a black sandal with braided leather straps attached to a chunky sports shoe sole. Mexican artisans and authorities say the intricate leather braids look strikingly similar to the traditional footwear known as huaraches made by the Zapotec Indigenous people in Oaxaca, produced mostly in the town of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. They have accused the brand and Chavarria of 'cultural appropriation' and of copying the design without the permission of the Indigenous community. Authorities were quick to note that cultural Mexican designs have long been copied by major brands before, and said they planned to tighten laws to protect Mexican designs. Chavarria responded to mounting criticisms in comments sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday. In a statement addressed to the 'people of Oaxaca,' he said that the design was intended to 'to honor the powerful cultural and artistic spirit of Oaxaca and its creative communities — a place whose beauty and resistance have inspired me.' 'I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community,' Chavarria wrote. 'This falls short of the respect and collaborative approach that Oaxaca, the Zapotec community of Villa Hidalgo Yalalag, and its people deserve.' Chavarria is a Mexican-American designer, who has risen to fame for his designs exploring Chicano, or Mexican-American, culture, often mixing Mexican themes with American products. His designs include sweaters reading 'Chicano' in red, scripted font, and styles with the Mexican flag and cowboy hats reminiscent of northern Mexican culture. In recent months, Chavarria also was put in the spotlight for a show at Paris Fashion Week that was intended as criticism of the Trump administration's deportation policy. Chavarria's comments came days after Adidas made a public apology for the design, and in a statement said it was reaffirming 'our commitment to collaborate with Yalalag in a respectful dialogue that honors their cultural legacy.' Last week, in a letter to Oaxacan state officials, the company requested to sit down with local officials and to discuss how it can 'repair the damage' to Indigenous populations. 'Adidas recognizes and values the cultural richness of Mexico's Indigenous communities and the meaning of their artisanal heritage,' it wrote in a statement.

Are Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley Dating?
New celeb couple alert! Or, at least, a celebrity friendship. Over the weekend, Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley were spotted enjoying each other's company in NYC, sparking rumors of a new romance. Joshua and Simone were photographed walking side-by-side around the city on Saturday, though it's unclear if it was a date or just a friendly hang. Granted, whatever the case may be, they make a bit of a surprising twosome. The Dawson's Creek star has been a staple of American pop culture since he was a kid starring in The Mighty Ducks, while Simone only recently shot to fame with her starring role in Bridgerton season 2. And it doesn't seem like the two have ever worked together. They do, however, have at least one thing in common: Both are currently filming movies in NYC—with Joshua reuniting with his Dawson's Creek co-star Katie Holmes in Happy Hours and Simone busy filming The Devil Wears Prada 2. So how did these two even meet? I'm not exactly sure, but I did discover this photo of the two of them from 2020: The pic was taken at the Dunhill x Dylan Jones Pre-BAFTA Filmmakers Dinner in January of 2020—a month before Simone's Bridgerton casting was announced and just as Joshua was starting promotion for Hulu's Little Fires Everywhere. At the time, Joshua was married to Jodie Turner-Smith, with whom he shares a five-year-old daughter. The actors divorced in 2023, and since then, Joshua has been keeping his dating life relatively out of the public eye—despite reportedly dating Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o. Simone, meanwhile, has always been more discreet in her private life. She previously dated Constantin 'Tino' Klein for a few years, starting in 2022. She confirmed that she was single in January.

Nike Sues Edison Chen For $126 Million USD
CLOTfounderEdison Chenis being sued by former partnerNikefor breach of contract, demanding a sum of more than $126 million USD. Multiple sources, including@SneakerLegalhave shared the information, including the case number (2:25-cv-07447), cause (28:1332 Diversity-Breach of Contract), and the demand of $126,615,000. Other than these details, still little is known about the specific violations and events that led to the escalation. The lawsuit has emerged more than a year after Chen terminated his collaborations with the American sneaker label and began releasing products with adidas, like the CLOT Silk Gazelle and the CLOTAnthony EdwardsAE-1. For years, the CLOT designer worked closely with Nike on various models before partnering with the Three Stripes brand in 2023. In 2004, Chen founded CLOT in Hong Kong and began partnering with Nike in 2006. The brand still maintains special popularity in the Asia Pacific region for its exploration of Eastern heritage and aesthetics, but has become increasingly global thanks to partnerships with sportswear titans. As the brand charges forth with a new CEO at the helm, it seems that it's become more vigilant of its brand universe than ever, targeting direct collaborators like Chen and even designers outside of their direct sphere, likethe Shoe Surgeon. Nike's move to sue Chen comes right after the brand finally settled with the famous custom-sneaker designer, a de-escalation from the $60 million originally demanded. Stay tuned to Hypebeast as more details emerge on the case.
