This is pretty awesome. Kind of surprised it's so high on active right now, but then again, what else are they going to play?

I'm hoping Foo Fighters can atleast get a week in at #1 before this takes over. Then again we have to watch out for Pop Evil.

I think this can do Top 30 on Alternative, as it's steadily been getting adds there and has a pretty big bullet right now. Not to mention it wouldn't sound too out of place there.
If it does, though, that would be awesome especially since "The Vengeful One" and "The Light" both got robbed there.

So, yeah, this looks to be the next #1, it'll pass the Foos probably on Monday, Ways To Get High is stalling, and State of My Head is obviously done. If it keeps up the 50+ gains, it should be #1 on Wednesday.
1 1 SHINEDOWN State Of My Head 1871 2029 -158 5.381 2 2 POP EVIL Ways To Get High 1833 1837 -4 4.849 3 3 FOO FIGHTERS Saint Cecilia 1705 1604 101 5.614 5 4 DISTURBED The Sound Of Silence 1635 1335 300 4.971
This is it's 48th day in the top 50, so it'll be awesome if it moves to #1 before it's 54th day (that's how long it took The Vengeful One to go #1, but that's partly due to it fighting with Shinedown). The Light took 66 days to reach the summit, so it'll beat that.

This is shaping up to be a huge era for Disturbed. Definitely think we will get a 4th single, probably something heavier sounding like "Open Your Eyes" or "Immortalized".

This isn't Pop-friendly at all, but to be honest I wouldn't be that surprised to see it crossover to the poppier formats with a remix. The sales are fantastic for a rock song and a lot of people I know (who mainly listen to pop music) have been really into this. It would be the first Active/Pop crossover since Shinedown, I think.

They need to at least try and send this song to Pop, they've got nothing to lose.

Debuts at #88 on the Hot 100! Also debuts at #39 on Billboard Alternative. I think it was actually a #38 debut, as the BDS chart showed that it had a higher bullet than "Bloodfeather", but with the same amount of spins.

Sometimes the BDS radio chart has slight changes, but I go by Billboard usually. On Disturbed's Billboard page, it said that it's 39 and Highly Suspect 38

Jesus. This is up to #31 on the all-genre iTunes chart. This is shaping up to be their biggest hit at this rate.

Musically, this is practically a HAC ballad in the same vein of Josh Groban, so I think this won't have much problem reaching top 20 in HAC if ever pushed there.

Billboard's article of this hitting #1 on Active. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7004191/disturbed-sound-of-silence-rock-chartsThe Sound of Silence-d Guitars: Disturbed's Haunting Simon & Garfunkel Cover Tops Mainstream Rock Songs Chart3/10/2016 by Kevin Rutherford The ballad reigns thanks to a boundary-pushing band and open-minded radio programmers, says Warner Bros. CEO Cameron Strang.Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart has a new No. 1, and it's decidedly different from the tracks that usually lead the radio airplay ranking. Disturbed's operatic cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" surges 3-1 on the list (dated March 19), gaining by 17 percent in plays, according to Nielsen Music, in just its seventh week on the chart. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's iconic, jangly folk-rock original (written by Simon), topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks more than 50 years ago, beginning on the Jan. 1, 1966, chart. (It was their first of 17 career entries.) Of course, there's intrigue in Disturbed adding yet another No. 1. The song becomes the rockers' sixth chart-topper on Mainstream Rock Songs and the third straight from their 2015 album Immortalized, which debuted atop the Sept. 12, 2015, Billboard 200 (becoming their fifth No. 1) and has sold 288,000 copies in the U.S. to date. The single follows "The Vengeful One" (one week atop Mainstream Rock Songs, Aug. 29) and "The Light" (five, beginning Dec. 19). There's another noteworthy angle: "Silence" is the first remake to crown Mainstream Rock Songs since 2006, when – hey, surprise – Disturbed's own version of Genesis' "Land of Confusion" led for three weeks (becoming the band's first Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1). But Disturbed's "Silence" cover marks another Mainstream Rock Songs rarity: it's absent both the sounds of electric guitar and a drum kit, instead driven by keyboards and strings, as well as frontman David Draiman's increasingly growling vocal (which is more in line with typical hits at the format). Since the chart's inception in 1981, the genetic makeup of mainstream rock radio has been malleable, but especially in recent years, one element has generally remained steady: the presence of rock-oriented instruments like electric and bass guitars and a drum set. Over the past decade, we've seen fleeting departures from that tenet in the chart's top 10, but they've generally been more technicalities. Royal Blood, for instance, has reached the top three with each of its first three singles (including the No. 1 "Little Monster" last year) sans electric guitar, instead via frontman Mike Kerr's usage of two amps (electric and bass) for his bass guitar, while Finnish quartet Apocalyptica has earned three top 10s strictly through the use of cellos and double bass that, on record, have an electric sound. (Notably, Chris Cornell's ballad "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" reached No. 2 on the chart last year, and while acoustic guitar is at the forefront, it also features an electric guitar solo.) In fact, when Disturbed's "Silence" hit the Mainstream Rock Songs top 10 in February, it was the first piano-, keyboard- or classical strings-fueled track to reach the tally since Ozzy Osbourne's 2002 ballad "Dreamer," which rose to No. 10. (As a band occasionally in the piano ballad vein, Evanescence has charted eight titles on Mainstream Rock Songs, but the band's trademark slow song "My Immortal" did not reach the chart, or any rock radio ranking, for that matter; it topped Adult Pop Songs and hit No. 2 on Pop Songs in 2004.) As for such a Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1? We need to travel back to the '80s, when crunching guitars often had less sway in the format and hearing piano or even synthesizers wasn't out of the ordinary. In 1989, Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence," carried by co-writer Bruce Hornsby's trademark piano playing, reigned for four weeks. Five years earlier, and as an especially stark example of how much rock radio has evolved, Phil Collins' piano ballad (and now soft AC staple) "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" led for a week. (The rockiest thing about the song now, other than Collins' association with Genesis, may be the sand on the beach in its video.) So, despite occasional outliers, hearing Disturbed's version of "Silence" on mainstream rock radio at all, let alone its standing as the most-played song at the format, is an oddity in the 2010s. Warner Bros. Records CEO Cameron Strang chalks its success up to the "willingness of a great band to be courageous and push the boundaries of its music, combined with a format and programmers who are loyal to artists and help make careers by being open-minded to amazing new music." Before "Silence" debuted on the Feb. 6 Mainstream Rock Songs chart (at No. 36), its official video arrived in December and since has racked more than 20 million global YouTube views. The track has become the band's first entry on the Rock Streaming Songs chart, this week rising 22-18 as the Greatest Gainer (up 12 percent to 2 million domestic streams). The cover is also selling, as it leads the Hard Rock Digital Songs ranking for a 10th week (23,000 downloads sold, up 14 percent, in the week ending March 3) and has sold 251,000 so far. It rises 42-33 on the overall Digital Songs chart, helping spur its 88-81 rise in its second week on the Hot 100, where it's Disturbed first hit since 2010. The track has also crossed to the Alternative Songs chart, rising 39-36. (The song's strongest radio supporter: mainstream rock station WRAT in Monmouth, N.J., with more approximately 400 plays to date.) Despite "Silence" being a piano-based cover of a half-century-old hit, Strang says that the song's newly-minted domination on Mainstream Rock Songs isn't a shock to his team, which knew it had a hit from the start. "We thought it was potentially a big song," he says. "Sam Maloney, the A&R person on the record, worked with the band and producer [Kevin Churko] to add strings and round out the sound, because we thought it had great potential."

Moves up 81-76 in the Hot 100. Rooting for this to go at least top 40 there.

This is flying on iTunes. It's #22 right now, and with the second version it should be around #17.

I wonder if there's any chance Hot AC would touch this? Could ad to its chart success and it's not far sonically from what else is on there. At any rate, very glad to see them getting some great success with this.

That'd be epic if it goes Top 40, but even if not, then I hope it kicks the door back open for more rock music in the pop realm. There were plenty of loud electric guitars on the pop charts from 1965-2012, so the last few years have been a glaring anomaly. This trend can't last forever, so hopefully this signals a reversal.
