Disturbed has achieved an extraordinary feat with their 2015 cover of “The Sound of Silence,” a track that continues to captivate audiences nearly a decade after its release. Initially released as part of their Immortalized album, the band’s haunting rendition of the Simon & Garfunkel classic helped propel them to new heights in the rock world, earning widespread acclaim and enduring popularity.
The song has reached an exceptional milestone, continuing its dominance on the Billboard charts. “The Sound of Silence” has now reigned atop the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart for an astounding 100 weeks, a rare achievement for any song, let alone one from the harder side of rock music. Its consistent success has kept it in the upper echelons of the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking for 469 weeks, with nearly a quarter of those weeks spent at No. 1.
The song’s reach doesn’t end there. Disturbed’s track, in its Cyril remix, has also climbed the ranks on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart, currently sitting at No. 2. The remix has already topped the list and is poised to return to the No. 1 spot in the near future.
“The Sound of Silence” remains a testament to Disturbed’s unique ability to blend hard rock with unexpected genres, maintaining its presence and appeal long after its initial release.
