Lady Gaga Blocks Disturbed Blocked From Returning To No. 1
Disturbed's cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence' may have felt like a surprising choice when it was first released years ago, but it has since gone on to become a career-defining smash for the group. Multiple versions of the tune continue to chart to this day, and the hard rock outfit almost returns to the summit on a list few could have predicted it would ever reach — let alone lead. The rockers are currently held back from ruling the show once more by one of the biggest pop stars of all time. Years after Disturbed's version of 'The Sound of Silence' became a hit, the group released a remix by producer Cyril. That version has also become a smash in its own right, albeit one that reaches different Billboard lists than the hard rock original. The remixed track can still be found on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, where this frame it steps up from No. 4 to No. 2. Disturbed only misses ruling again by one spot, as 'Abracadabra' by Lady Gaga refuses to budge. That tune has spent 16 of its 19 weeks on the list of the bestselling dance tracks in America in first place. 'Abracadabra' is proving to be a true bestseller in the dance world this year. Last week, the track blocked Tate McRae's 'Just Keep Watching' from debuting at No. 1, and this frame it dips from the runner-up spot to No. 3. Recently, Gaga's Mayhem single also blocked 'Blessings' by Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas and a remix of Creed's 'One Last Breath' by ATLiens from ruling, as all of those cuts missed the mark by just one space. While Disturbed's 'The Sound of Silence' might be forced to settle for second place at the moment, it has already spent time running the show. The hard rock group has only ever landed one win on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, and 'The Sound of Silence' has commanded the list for half a dozen frames out of the 71 stints it has spent somewhere on the tally. The Disturbed song currently lives inside the top 10 on two similarly-composed but different-sounding rosters. As it settles into second place on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, the original cover dips slightly to No. 4 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking. In just a few weeks, the tune will reach 500 frames as a bestseller on that roster.

Metallica's Smash Brings The Band To A Milestone For The First Time
Metallica's catalog is filled with the kind of rock smashes any band would be lucky to claim. The Grammy-winning group has produced more hits than most acts could ever dream of – especially in the hard rock space – but when it comes to pure purchases by American listeners, one title stands out above the rest. 'Enter Sandman' is a bestseller yet again in the United States. The track currently appears on a trio of Billboard rankings dedicated purely to sales, and this frame is especially notable for the tune. Metallica's timeless cut lifts one spot on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, earning its one-hundredth stay on the list of the bestselling rock-only tracks in the country. The track is so massively popular that it has spent more time on the tally than Metallica's other 13 charting successes combined. The group's second-longest running entry is 'Master of Puppets,' which so far has managed just seven appearances on the list. While 'Enter Sandman' is easily Metallica's longest-charting release on the Rock Digital Song Sales roster, it doesn't stand as the band's highest-peaking. Both 'Master of Puppets' and 'Lux Æterna' peaked at No. 2 in 2022. 'Enter Sandman,' meanwhile, stalled at No. 3 in 2021 and has yet to surge any higher. Metallica is one of just three acts on the 15-spot Rock Digital Song Sales chart at the moment that claims a more-than-100-week winner. 'Enter Sandman' joins 'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed (329 weeks) and 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, which this frame reaches 520 turns — exactly a decade — on the list. 'Enter Sandman' may be rising slightly on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, but that's actually the American tally where it performs the worst. It appears at No. 3 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs roster, and the tune also dips slightly to No. 5 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list.

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.
