Aerosmith’s Future Is Uncertain, But The Band’s Still Charting

What does the future hold for Aerosmith? As a band, it’s tough to predict. The group announced a farewell tour in May 2023, only to cancel it shortly after when lead singer Steven Tyler damaged his vocal cords. At the time, the rockers stated they’d never tour again — but just months later, Aerosmith performed together once more. While there’s been no official mention of brand new music, members have hinted that nothing is impossible.

It may be a long time before the world gets to hear something fresh from Aerosmith…and there’s a big question mark around such a topic. Until any news is shared, the hits that once propelled the superstars to the top of the charts remain standards in the rock world, and they’re still helping the band climb.

Aerosmith Returns to the Top 10

This week in the United States, Aerosmith scores a top 10 album. Greatest Hits climbs three spaces on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart, rising from No. 13 to No. 10. The ranking lists the most consumed projects in the hard rock genre, blending both sales of the full-lengths and EPs and streaming activity, which is usually especially important when it comes to singles-packed sets like this one.

Aerosmith’s Two Top 40 Wins

The same compilation also appears on two other tallies — and in both cases, it’s on the rise. On the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Greatest Hits pushes to No. 37, meaning it’s a top 40 win on two of the three rankings it occupies. The project also moves up five spots to No. 149 on the Billboard 200, which ranks overall consumption across all music styles.

Aerosmith’s Catalog Continues to Perform

Greatest Hits has spent nearly the same amount of time on all three of those tallies, which suggests that since its debut, it has managed to largely hold on across the three lists, like a number of other popular collections from legendary bands with catalogs full of smash singles. The compilation is now up to 88 weeks on the Billboard 200 and 93 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart.

“Dream On” Reenters a Billboard List

Aerosmith also scores a smash once again in America, as “Dream On” reappears on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. This frame, the tune returns at No. 24 on the 25-spot tally.

“Dream On” has spent significantly more time on this list than Greatest Hits has on any of the rosters it currently appears on. The track has now racked up 252 frames as one of the most-streamed hard rock cuts in America — and it has previously reached No. 1.
