MGK and Fred Durst Dominate Hard Rock Charts with ‘Fix Ur Face’
In an alternate reality reminiscent of 2001, Fred Durst commands a festival stage with his signature backwards red cap, embodying the energetic spirit of nu-metal. Fast forward to 2026, and Durst has reinvigorated that same unrestrained vigor on the music charts, teaming up with mgk.
Their collaborative track, ‘Fix Ur Face’, has ascended to the coveted top spot on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, marking mgk’s inaugural number one achievement on the ranking and showcasing Durst’s mastery of crafting destructive riffs, as highlighted by Billboard.
Unleashed on April 21st, the song surged from the fourth position to claim the pole position in its second week on the chart, propelled by 1.8 million streams in the US, robust radio airplay, and robust digital sales that propelled it to the summit.
For mgk, this milestone represents a significant crossover moment in his musical evolution. While he has ventured across rap, pop-punk, and alt-rock territories in recent years, ‘Fix Ur Face’ stands as his most prominent accomplishment on the hard rock chart. Previously, his lone entry on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart in 2025 with ‘Your Name Forever’ peaked at number four.
Conversely, Durst is no stranger to chart-topping success. Limp Bizkit clinched two number one entries on the same chart in the previous year with hits like ‘Making Love to Morgan Wallen’ and the timeless anthem ‘Break Stuff’, which witnessed a resurgence following the tragic passing of bassist Sam Rivers in 2025.
Characterized by its unbridled and raw feral energy, ‘Fix Ur Face’ captures the essence of early 2000s hard rock with a contemporary polish that aligns seamlessly with the modern streaming landscape. The timing of this collaboration couldn’t be more opportune – mgk is primed for another stretch of his ‘Lost Americana’ tour with Wiz Khalifa, while Fred Durst rides the wave of Limp Bizkit’s resurgence, now transformed into a triumphant victory lap.
Love it or hate it, the music charts have been jolted by a nu-metal resurgence that refuses to fade into obscurity. The compelling allure of ‘Fix Ur Face’ beckons listeners, inviting them to revel in the enduring spirit of a genre that has left an indelible mark on the musical landscape.
