Metallica's Major Chart Staple Climbs to Top 10 Status After Over Three Decades on the Charts
Metallica's musical prowess needs no boost in sales. This heavy metal powerhouse is among the top-selling artists globally, and their devoted fanbase is renowned for its collective purchasing power. This is evident in the sales of their full-length albums as well as their numerous hit singles. One such song, which has gained yet another surge in popularity, is "Nothing Else Matters."
For decades, "Nothing Else Matters" has remained one of Metallica's most successful tracks, capturing the hearts of new listeners. In the UK this week, the song tops several charts, achieving a new peak position.
For the first time in over 30 years, "Nothing Else Matters" makes a strong entrance into the top 10 on one list. On the Official Singles Downloads chart, it secures the No. 10 spot, breaking new ground and exceeding its previous best performance.
The song just misses out on reaching the top 10 on another chart, but it still manages to make a comeback on the Official Singles Sales chart, entering at No. 15. This is a new height for the smash hit.
Simultaneously, "Nothing Else Matters" reappears on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart at No. 26. Although it hasn't set a new record, it was previously very close to leading the chart, stopping just short of the runner-up position.
The surge in popularity of "Nothing Else Matters" can likely be attributed to Metallica's collaboration with the VR game, Beat Saber. Now, some of their most iconic singles, including "Nothing Else Matters," "Enter Sandman," "Master of Puppets," and "For Whom the Bell Tolls," along with a dozen more, are playable in the game.
As "Nothing Else Matters" makes a surprising comeback, the album this hit is found on also sees a significant boost. Metallica's self-titled album, a long-time bestseller, reappears on both the Official Album Downloads and Official Rock & Metal Albums charts, where it has already spent hundreds of weeks on the former and, in the case of the latter, nearly 1,000 frames.
Metallica's collaboration with Beat Saber has contributed to the surge in sales of their song "Nothing Else Matters." According to Forbes, Metallica's biggest hits have consistently ranked high in music sales and fan engagement. As a result, "Nothing Else Matters" made its way back to the top 10 in the UK, reaching the No. 10 spot on the Official Singles Downloads chart. This achievement is further boosted by the song's renewed popularity on Beat Saber and other platforms. Moreover, the track's success has led to a resurgence in the sales of Metallica's self-titled album, which has once again entered both the Official Album Downloads and Official Rock & Metal Albums charts. In fact, the album has spent hundreds of weeks on the former and nearly 1,000 frames on the latter.
