Linkin Park and Sleep Token each claim three simultaneous top 10s on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs … More
Throughout the past year, Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart has been dominated by just a handful of big names. Linkin Park, Sleep Token, and Ghost have all scored multiple smashes, some of which have remained on the tally for months at a time. The current ranking highlights just how popular these acts are and how the competition between them is playing out, as two of them manage an impressive feat — and the third just narrowly fails to joins them.
Linkin Park and Sleep Token Each Land Three Top 10 Hits
Both Sleep Token and Linkin Park earn back-to-back-to-back top 10 hits this week. The two bands each claim a trio of tunes sitting next to one another inside the top 10 on the list of the most-consumed hard rock cuts in the U.S. Ghost nearly pulls off the same accomplishment but falls short by just one position.
Sleep Token Owns the Entire Top Three
For the second consecutive frame, Sleep Token occupies the top three spots on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. Last week, “Damocles” debuted at No. 1, and it now refuses to budge. Behind that single are two previous leaders, “Caramel” and “Emergence,” at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.
Linkin Park Follows with the Next Three Biggest Hits
Linkin Park claims the next three highest positions on the tally. Three cuts taken from the band’s comeback album From Zero, including its recently-released deluxe edition, are on the rise. “Up from the Bottom,” “The Emptiness Machine,” and “Heavy Is the Crown” each ascend slightly, landing at Nos. 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
Ghost Comes Close to Joining the Trio Feat
Ghost nearly matches the feat managed by Sleep Token and Linkin Park, but just misses out on joining them. The metal act sits at Nos. 9 and 10 with “Peacefield” and “Satanized,” respectively. Last week, “Lachryma” was at No. 10, but this frame it swaps positions with “Satanized,” dipping to No. 11 and outside of the region. Disturbed keeps Ghost from a trio of top 10s, as the band’s “I Will Not Break” jumps from No. 12 to No. 8, returning to the uppermost tier.
