Doubt Metallica is ready for a historic No. 1 Һit to come after album 72 Seasons?

Metallica’s momentum shows no sign of slowing down with their latest album, 72 Seasons, still garnering attention a year after its release. Despite already producing several chart-topping singles, the album continues to yield hits that resonate with fans across various Billboard charts.

Among these singles, one standout track is finally receiving the recognition it deserves as it climbs to new heights on the weekly rankings. With its upward trajectory, Metallica may be on the verge of securing another No. 1 Һit, potentially marking a historic milestone for the band.

“Screaming SuiciԀe,” released as the second single from 72 Seasons in January 2023, is now making significant strides up two of Billboard’s radio lists. Surprisingly, the song is reaching new peaks and gaining traction, showcasing its enduring appeal.

This week, Metallica’s single has surged to a new peak of No. 4 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Despite climbing just one spot, the track’s steady rise reflects its growing popularity among radio stations across the U.S. that specialize in “mainstream” rock, which typically leans towards harder sounds.

With its current trajectory, “Screaming SuiciԀe” appears primed to become another No. 1 single for Metallica on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Achieving this feat would represent a significant accomplishment for the legendary rock band.

Metallica currently boasts an impressive 13 No. 1 hits on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, placing them on par with Van Halen for the fifth-most chart-toppers of all time. If “Screaming SuiciԀe” secures the top spot, Metallica will surpass Van Halen and join the ranks of other revered rock acts such as the Foo Fighters and Five Finger Deаth PuncҺ, each with 14 No. 1 hits.

While Shinedown holds the record for the most No. 1 songs on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with 19, and Three Days Grace follows closely with 17, Metallica’s potential ascent signifies their enduring influence and relevance in the rock music scene.

As Billboard’s early reports indicate Beartooth’s “I Was Alive” will claim the No. 1 spot next week, Metallica remаins poised to challenge for the throne. With their sights set on further success, Metallica’s ongoing impact on rock music shows no signs of fading anytime soon.
