Sleep Token Swaps One No. 1 Smash For Another On Multiple Charts

Even in Arcadia, the brand new full-length from Sleep Token, arrived on Friday (May 9), and it’s headed for a sizable debut on the Billboard charts in just a few days. The collection has already produced a number of hit songs, including “Damocles,” which appears on more than a dozen tallies in America this frame.

“Damocles” is not just another hit for Sleep Token. The English heavy metal band trades one winner for another on several rankings as the new tune arrives during what has turned out to be a very special frame for the group.

“Damocles” Debuts at No. 1 on Multiple Charts

“Damocles” opens at No. 1 on all three of Billboard’s hard rock-focused rankings. It starts its run at the summit on the Hot Hard Rock Songs, Hard Rock Streaming Songs, and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts.

Sleep Token Replaces Itself at No. 1

Sleep Token has been in this position before. In fact, just last week, the band led two of those three hard rock-only lists. “The Summoning,” the previous single from Even in Arcadia, topped both the Hot Hard Rock Songs and Hard Rock Streaming Songs rankings. This time around, that tune dips only slightly, landing in second place.

Sleep Token Owns the Top Three

Sleep Token manages to control the top three rungs on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. Billboard’s list of the most consumed hard rock cuts in the U.S. now features “Damocles” at No. 1, while “The Summoning” dips at No. 2. “Emergence,” the first single from the new album, falls to third place, giving the band a complete lock on the uppermost trio of positions on the list of the most popular hard rock cuts in the nation.

“Damocles” Opens Inside the Top 10

Including the hard rock-specific rankings, “Damocles” debuts inside the top 10 on nine different Billboard charts this frame. In addition to leading the three hard rock lists, the single also hits No. 1 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. The exciting new launch comes in second on both the Rock Streaming Songs and Rock Digital Song Sales rosters as well, and performs well on several other tallies.
