Metallica broke another record this week being the first band to have a #1 mainstream rock song in four different decades.
Metallica has had a #1 song on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Song airplay chart thanks to their recent release of the S&M2 concert album. “All Within My Hands” from the project went #1 on the Billboard Rock song chart.
With this release, the historic rock band has gone #1 in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and now the 2020s. It’s the 10th time Metallica has accomplished this feat of going #1. The band first charted in 1981 and finally topped the charts in the ’90s and they haven’t slowed down since.
The first time they went #1 was with “Until I Sleep” in 1996. Though it’s early in the 2020’s we have a feeling the band isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
In other Metallica news, a newly discovered species of venomous snake was named after James Hetfield, band frontman. The name was inspired because the snake inhabits the base of a volcano, which is pretty metal, inspiring scientists to name the snake after the band frontman.
Cheers to another successful decade Metallica!
