Volbeat secures 12th No. 1 spot on Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart
Volbeat has achieved their 12th number 1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with their song, “Time Will Heal,” as reported by Billboard. This accomplishment places them on par with Papa Roach as one of the acts with the most chart-topping songs since 1981. Their previous release, “By a Monster’s Hand,” held the number 1 spot for two weeks in May, further solidifying their status in the rock music scene.
Hailing from Europe, Volbeat stands out as the only European band to reach such heights on the U.S. charts. The only non-American band to surpass them in number 1 hits is Canada’s Three Days Grace. Their latest album, “God of Angels Trust,” released on June 6, has been the source of both hits, showcasing the band’s musical evolution and growth.
The band’s sound is characterized by short, powerful riffs and thundering rhythms, a combination that has resonated with fans worldwide. With Jon Larsen on drums, Michael Poulsen on vocals and rhythm guitar, and Kaspar Boye Larsen on bass, the band has a unique chemistry that contributes to their success. Flemming C. Lund joins them as lead guitarist during live shows, following the departure of their original guitarist, Rob Caggiano, in 2023.
The popularity of “Time Will Heal” continues to surge, climbing five spots to No. 8 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart and attracting 2.6 million listeners by October 23. This marks their fifth top 10 hit on this particular chart, demonstrating their consistent appeal and staying power in the music industry. The album’s success is also reflected in its peak at No. 5 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, with 38,000 units sold to date.
Despite their accomplishments, Volbeat remains dedicated to their craft and their fans. They are scheduled to tour European venues until late 2025, with additional shows planned for next summer. Fans can find more information and secure tickets through the band’s official website, ensuring that their loyal following can continue to support them on their musical journey.
