Disturbed's New Single Matches One Of The Band's Biggest Hits
Disturbed's 'I Will Not Break' slips on Billboard's charts but ties as the band's second-longest run ... More ever on the Hot Hard Rock Songs ranking. DETROIT, MICHIGAN - MARCH 10: David Draiman of the band Disturbed performs during The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour at Little Caesars Arena on March 10, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by) After 12 weeks on the Billboard charts, Disturbed's new single "I Will Not Break" is on the decline. The track still appears on multiple rankings, but it's falling on each and every one of them. At this point, it doesn't look like it will climb any higher on any roster — although it has already reached the summit on most of the tallies on which it appears. Now, it's all about longevity. And, already, after only a few months, the latest from the hard rockers stands out as one of the group's longest-running successes on a competitive list. "I Will Not Break" has now spent an even dozen weeks on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart — Billboard's ranking of the most consumed tunes in that style. The company blends sales and streaming data as well as total audience impressions at radio to paint a picture of which hard rock tracks are the most popular in the U.S. This frame, "I Will Not Break" dips from No. 8 to No. 13 – but it's the length of time that's really notable. With 12 weeks to its credit on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, "I Will Not Break" is tied as Disturbed's second-longest-running win ever on the tally. It is now matched with "Don't Tell Me," a collaboration with Ann Wilson. That tune debuted in early 2024 and also held on for an even 12 frames before disappearing. It's highly likely that "I Will Not Break" will, in fact, break that tie in just a few days, since it's still living in the middle of the list and is unlikely to drop precipitously in the span of just a week. Only one track stands ahead of both "Don't Tell Me" and "I Will Not Break," and it's "Hey You." That tune, which arrived in the summer of 2024, peaked at No. 4 and went on to spend exactly half a year, or 26 frames, on the Hot Hard Rock Songs ranking. That's more than twice as long as both "Don't Tell Me" and "I Will Not Break." Whether Disturbed's latest focus cut will be able to catch up by holding on for several more months is tough to predict, as it's already on the downswing. "I Will Not Break" currently appears on three Billboard charts, and it earns its lowest placement on the Hot Hard Rock Songs tally. The tune still lives inside the top five on both the Rock & Alternative Airplay and Mainstream Rock Airplay lists, where it declines ever so slightly to Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. At the same time, two different versions of Disturbed's "The Sound of Silence" remain bestsellers. The original settles at No. 7 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, while the Cyril remix slips one space to No. 3 on the Dance Digital Song Sales tally.

Disturbed's San Francisco concert scrapped as NBA playoffs take over Chase Center
Disturbed's upcoming concert at San Francisco's Chase Center has been canceled due to the NBA playoffs. The nu-metal band was set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its multi-platinum debut album 'The Sickness' on Saturday, May 10, with Daughtry and Nothing More opening. But the Golden State Warriors' playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves has forced a change to the venue's schedule, leading to the cancellation. Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds, while those who bought tickets from third-party resellers such as StubHub and SeatGeek are advised to contact their point of purchase directly for a refund. This is not the first time Disturbed has faced a conflict with the NBA during this tour. In March, during a concert at the United Center in Chicago, the band's heavy use of pyrotechnics allegedly caused damage to six Chicago Bulls championship banners. The venue confirmed that the flames singed the banners, which were taken down for repairs and would not be displayed for the remainder of the season. SAN FRANCISCO UPDATE: Due to an unforeseen schedule conflict with the Golden State Warriors and the NBA playoffs, the Disturbed show scheduled for May 10 at Chase Center in San Francisco has been cancelled. Details here: — Disturbed (@Disturbed) May 5, 2025 Disturbed, however, denied responsibility for the damage, which occurred during its performance of 'Inside the Fire.' In addition to the pyrotechnic mishap, Disturbed frontman David Draiman has been making headlines for his outspoken views on political issues. In April, he called out Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day for altering the lyrics of the band's 2004 hit 'Jesus of Suburbia' during a performance at Coachella. Armstrong had changed the line 'runnin' away from pain when you've been victimized' to 'runnin' away from pain like the kids from Palestine.' 'You know I respect you, brother,' Draiman wrote in an open letter posted on social media on April 14. 'I'd love to have the opportunity for you to hear the Israeli/Jewish side of this horrific war. I'm available to discuss whenever you are. No judgment, nothing preconceived. Let me know.'
