\u201cEnter Sandman\u201d<\/a> is once again counted among the bestselling hard rock tracks in the U.S. This frame, it reenters the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart at No. 9. The former No. 1 has now spent 705 weeks somewhere on the tally, which these days only features 10 spaces, making it an extremely competitive ranking.<\/p>\n\u201cEnter Sandman\u201d Lives Inside the Top 10 on Several Charts<\/p>\n
At the same time that it breaks onto the sales ranking again, \u201cEnter Sandman\u201d can also be found on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, where it climbs from No. 8 to No. 6. Unlike on the purchase-only tally tally, however, Metallica\u2019s classic has never made it to No. 1 on streaming. The beloved tune only rose as high as No. 3 in the 273 weeks it\u2019s spent on the roster.<\/p>\n
A 35-Year-Old Metallica Smash<\/p>\n
\u201cEnter Sandman\u201d was a big hit when Metallica released it decades ago, and in the years since, it has become not only a standard in the band\u2019s discography, but one of the most successful hard rock cuts of all time. The fact that the nearly 35-year-old blockbuster appears inside the top 10 on multiple Billboard charts underlines its sustained popularity.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnter Sandman\u201d served as the lead single from Metallica\u2019s self-titled fifth full-length, which is sometimes referred to as The Black Album. That project continues to live on multiple album rankings in America. This week, Metallica lands at No. 14 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart and at No. 185 on the Billboard 200. The project even manages to ascend seven spaces on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, nearly breaking back into the top 40 as it climbs to No. 42.<\/p>\n
