Who knocked Volbeat off the top of the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart? Volbeat. Again.

The Danish rock juggernauts have officially scored their 13th No. 1 single on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart with “Demonic Depression,” extending a record they already owned as the artist with the most chart-toppers originating from outside North America. If the math feels dizzying, that’s because Volbeat keep rewriting their own history book — and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.

“Demonic Depression” is the third No. 1 to come off the band’s ninth studio album, God of Angels Trust, joining “By a Monster’s Hand” and “Time Will Heal” at the summit. Three singles, three trips to the top — that’s a batting average most bands would trade a tour bus for.

With this latest milestone, Volbeat are now tied for the sixth-most No. 1s in the chart’s history (which dates back to 1981), sharing the rarefied air with Van Halen, Godsmack, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Papa Roach. Not bad for a band that started in the clubs of Copenhagen.

For the longtime fans keeping a tally at home, Volbeat first claimed the “most No. 1s by a non-North American artist” crown back in March 2020 when “Die To Live” (featuring Clutch’s Neil Fallon) became their eighth chart-topper. Five more No. 1s later, the lead is only growing.

Frontman Michael Poulsen, drummer Jon Larsen, bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen, and lead guitarist Flemming C Lund are about to take this winning streak on the road, kicking off the fourth leg of their Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide across Europe. Expect the new chart-topper to hit hard in the live set.
