Deftones reach top of Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with ‘my mind is a mountain’

When Deftones hit the scene with their song “my mind is a mountain,” they made history by reaching the top spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for the first time. The track is the leading single from their latest album, titled ‘private music’. After years of hard work and dedication, Chino Moreno and the rest of the band have finally claimed the coveted #1 spot on the charts. This achievement marks a significant milestone in their musical career.

While the band had reached #3 in the past with songs like “Tempest” and “Ohms,” hitting the top spot with “my mind is a mountain” is a first for Deftones. Their journey to the pinnacle of the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart has been long and arduous, spanning over 27 years, three months, and one week. The band initially made their mark on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart back in 1998 with “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away),” but it took many years of hard work and perseverance before they secured their first #1 hit.

Notably, Deftones’ achievement surpasses the record previously set by Evanescence in June. The rock band led by Amy Lee took 22 years, three months, and three weeks to claim the top spot following their debut appearance on Mainstream Rock Airplay with “Bring Me to Life.” The extended gap between Deftones’ initial chart appearance and their first #1 hit underscores the band’s resilience and dedication to their craft.

Currently, Deftones are on tour in the United States in support of their latest album, ‘private music’. The album, their first in five years, has been well-received by fans and critics alike. The band’s success on the charts and their ongoing tour highlight their enduring popularity and relevance in the rock music scene.

The achievement of claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart is a testament to Deftones’ enduring talent and creativity. Their music continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, and their latest success only adds to their legacy as one of the most influential rock bands of their generation. As they continue to captivate audiences with their unique sound and powerful performances, Deftones show no signs of slowing down and remain a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
