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

Deftones have made a significant mark in the music industry by achieving their first #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with their single “my mind is a mountain.” This track, featured on their latest album titled “private music,” has propelled the band, led by Chino Moreno, to the top of the charts. This achievement is particularly notable as the band had previously reached #3 with their songs “Tempest” and “Ohms.”

In an incredible turn of events, Deftones have set a new record for the longest gap between a band’s initial appearance on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and their first #1 hit. The band had to wait patiently for 27 years, three months, and one week from their first presence on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” in 1998 to finally clinching the top spot with “my mind is a mountain.” This achievement surpasses the recent record set by Evanescence, as they waited 22 years, three months, and three weeks from their debut appearance on Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2003 with “Bring Me to Life” to achieving #1 with “Afterlife.”

Deftones’ success on the charts comes as they embark on a tour across the United States in support of their album “private music,” marking their return after a five-year hiatus. The band’s ability to resonate with audiences and create impactful music has solidified their position in the music industry, leading to this historic achievement on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.

As Deftones continue to captivate audiences with their unique sound and lyrical depth, their journey to the #1 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart serves as a testament to their enduring talent and unwavering dedication to their craft. Fans of the band eagerly anticipate what the future holds for Deftones as they continue to push boundaries and explore new musical horizons.
