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 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.
