Disturbed’s Career-Defining Single Is A True Bestseller Again

by · Forbes

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” Remains a Chart Success

"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’s Remix Rises High on the Dance Chart

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’s Latest Single Dominate the Charts

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.
