Disturbed's Career-Defining Hit Returns To Multiple Billboard Charts
Disturbed is still preoccupied with promoting its latest single, "I Will Not Break," but fans of the hard rock band aren't solely focused on that new release. As the group's most recent drop begins to decline on several Billboard charts, another familiar hit is making a somewhat surprising comeback. A cover that has come to define the outfit's career and commercial success is not only rising, but returning to multiple tallies at the same time in the United States, becoming a true bestseller across the board. "The Sound of Silence" — the Simon & Garfunkel classic that Disturbed reworked into a rock smash nearly a decade ago — reenters two Billboard tallies this frame. It breaks back onto the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart at No. 7 and finds its way to No. 9 on the Rock Digital Song Sales list after not appearing on either of those rankings at all last frame. The same tune can also be found on a third purchase-only tally. "The Sound of Silence" climbs from No. 7 to No. 3 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list. "The Sound of Silence" has previously topped all three sales charts in the past. If it can hold on for 10 more frames on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list, it will reach 500 stays. Disturbed's cut has spent the least amount of time among these three tallies on the Rock Digital Song Sales roster, where it's now up to 328 turns. The song is so popular that it even managed to cross over and become an electronic dance win well over a year ago, and still holding strong to this day. Producer Cyril remixed Disturbed's version of the composition, and it hit No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Digital Song Sales chart. After 68 weeks on that tally, it still holds at No. 3. Fans of Disturbed seem to be shifting their focus back to "The Sound of Silence" as "I Will Not Break" dips on most of the rankings on which it appears this frame. The current focus drops one spot to No. 5 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay list and down to No. 17 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs tally. At the same time, it holds in fifth place on the Mainstream Rock Airplay roster, where it recently dominated, adding to the group's list of champions.

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 Career-Defining Single Is A True Bestseller Again
Months after its release, Disturbed's new single "I Will Not Break" is still a big hit on the Billboard charts. This frame, the tune appears on a trio of lists, holding on within the top 10 on each of them. Radio DJs continue to put it into heavy rotation while fans eagerly snap up the hard rock cut. The cover that has surprisingly come to define the band's career returns to multiple tallies at the same time the group's latest offering continues to perform well, and it asserts itself once more as a true bestseller. "The Sound of Silence" also appears on three Billboard rankings this frame, just like "I Will Not Break" – although there is no overlap between where the cuts appear. While "I Will Not Break" is largely a success at radio, "The Sound of Silence" lives solely on a trio of sales-focused rosters. This week, the track increases its chart count as it returns to two purchase-centric lists. Disturbed's cut reappears highest on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, where it's back at No. 9. It also returns to the Rock Digital Song Sales list, coming in at No. 13. Purchases of the Simon & Garfunkel reworking must have surged, as the song not only reenters those two rosters, but also climbs on a third. "The Sound of Silence" lifts from No. 6 to No. 3 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tally. Disturbed also appears on one other Billboard chart at the moment — and impressively, it's with yet another take on "The Sound of Silence." The Cyril remix of the tune is just one spot away from ruling the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. Yet again, it holds firm in the runner-up position — an impressive placement for a track that has now spent 66 weeks on that list. Disturbed has hit No. 1 on nearly every tally where the band currently appears with its current hits. The only chart the band has not topped so far is the Rock & Alternative Airplay ranking. "I Will Not Break" isn't far off from ruling, though. It holds at No. 3 on that radio tally, one spot beneath its all-time highest placement. Since it remains inside the top three, it could still climb higher, potentially earning Disturbed yet another No. 1 in the coming weeks — especially as the group continues to promote the cut and looks ahead to what's next.
