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.

Metallica Owns 20% Of A Billboard Chart As A Classic Smash Returns
Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' reclaims the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ... More chart, while 'Nothing Else Matters' returns at No. 8. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 01: Lead singer and guitarist James Hetfield of Metallica performs onstage at Lumen Field on September 01, 2024 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) Metallica has been a fixture on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart for years by this point. It's rarer to see the group absent from the ranking than to find it securing another win. The band is responsible for some of the most successful and beloved hard rock cuts in American history, and even decades after many of them first found their way to the charts, the act continues to sell a healthy number of copies week after week. This frame, Metallica fills a pair of spots on the tally, as it seems that purchases of the band's catalog – or at least a few favorites – are growing. The Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking only includes 10 slots, so the group lays claim to 20% of the available real estate. Metallica regains control of the throne as "Enter Sandman" returns to No. 1, stepping up just one space from the runner-up position it sat in last time around. Last week's champion, "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, dips to third. "Enter Sandman" has now spent 696 weeks on the chart. Just five of those frames have been in charge. As "Enter Sandman" climbs, "Nothing Else Matters" returns. This week, it breaks back onto the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tally at No. 8. In the past, it's climbed as high as No. 4, and the track is nearing triple-digit frames on the roster. With both "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters" present, Metallica becomes just the second act to fill more than one spot on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The band joins 3 Doors Down, which claims a trio of positions, one right after the other. The group's music has experienced a surge in popularity following its lead singer's recent cancer diagnosis, which has increased support from longtime fans. This week, 3 Doors Down appears highest with "When I'm Gone," which reenters the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tally at No. 4, which is the cut's all-time high. "It's Not My Time" jumps to its peak at No. 5, while former No. 1 "Kryptonite" dips one space to No. 6.
