Disturbed May Soon Make History With Another No. 1
Disturbed's latest hit 'I Will Not Break' nears No. 1 on multiple Billboard charts, potentially ... More earning the band a historic thirteenth rock airplay chart-topper.

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.

Aryna Sabalenka reaches first final at Roland Garros with victory over four-time champion Iga Swiatek
For the first time in four years, Iga Świątek has tasted defeat at Roland Garros. The three-time defending champion was dethroned by Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals of this year's French Open, with the world No. 1 triumphing 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0 in a high-quality display. For Sabalenka, it sets up her first final at the clay court grand slam, where she will face either American Coco Gauff or French wild card Lois Boisson, who is enjoying a fairytale run in Paris this fortnight. Świątek was on a 26-match winning streak at Roland Garros prior to Thursday's semifinal – the second-longest in women's singles in the Open Era – but faced a tall task against a high-flying Sabalenka. In an absorbing contest, both women played aggressive tennis in a bid to gain the upper hand in a close first set. Sabalenka looked to have done that when she broke Świątek twice for a 4-1 lead, only for the Polish star to fight back. A double fault from Sabalenka made it 4-4 before Świątek took a lead for the first time in the match the following game. There were eight breaks of serve over the course of the one-hour, 10-minute opening set, which was ultimately decided in a tie-break dominated by Sabalenka. The second set continued in a similar vein to the first, with three breaks of serve in the first three games. Świątek got what proved to be the crucial edge for a 3-1 lead and was able to see out the set from there to become the first person to take a set off Sabalenka this tournament. In the deciding set, however, the Belarusian took the brakes off, dismantling Świątek's challenge in just 22 minutes without making an unforced error. By the end of the match, she had hit 29 winners – the same number as Świątek – while converting an impressive eight of her 10 break points. With the victory, Sabalenka has now won all of her past five grand slam semifinals and will look to win a fourth major title in Saturday's showpiece. 'It was tricky conditions, I have to say,' she told TNT Sports after the match. 'It was tricky to serve with the roof closed. It was different compared to the previous matches, but I'm glad that both of us adjusted pretty well and we were able to show such a high-level match.' Sabalenka, who was defeated by American Madison Keys in the Australian Open final in January, has been the standout player in women's tennis in 2025 with three titles to her name. The year so far has been less kind to Świątek. Having spent so long at the top of the rankings throughout her career, she has dropped to No. 5 in the world and is yet to win a title this season. And after winning four of the past five titles at Roland Garros, the tournament will crown a first-time women's champion on Saturday.

DDG's Temporary Restraining Order Against Halle Bailey Denied
On Wednesday (June 4), DDG requested an emergency hearing in an attempt to block Halle Bailey from traveling internationally with their son, Halo. He countered her previous domestic violence accusations by filing for a restraining order of his own, but his request was not approved. Bailey is set to leave to Italy with their one-year-old this weekend for a few months as she shoots a film. TMZ reported yesterday the Michigan rapper filed a motion against his ex-girlfriend, claiming she poses an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk' to the child. He included several alleged incidents that would back up his assertions, if true. DDG wrote about a time Halle took his gun and ran out of his house, said she would have an abortion behind his back, and would text him concerning messages regarding her mental health. 'In or about August 2023, during a particularly volatile argument, petitioner became enraged and threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm. Without my consent, she took the weapon and left the house,' wrote DDG in a declaration attached to his court filing, per Billboard. 'This incident was one of several in which petitioner's actions posed a serious threat to her own safety and the safety of our son by creating an environment of emotional distress and danger within the home.' The rapper also claimed Halle sent 'a series of alarming text messages threatening to kill herself and suggesting that their infant son, Halo, might also be harmed.' In May, Halle was granted a temporary restraining order against DDG after accusing him of abuse. She cited an incident where he allegedly smashed her head against a steering wheel during an argument, said he often referred to her as a 'b**ch' or 'evil,' and rallied his supporters to bad-mouth her publicly. The Little Mermaid actress addressed her Italy travel plans in her original complaint, which was approved on May 15. 'I have family and a nanny who will be traveling with me to care for Halo while I am working,' Halle wrote in the court documents. The former couple went public in March 2022 and had a child together in December 2023. See a full timeline of their relationship here.
