Motionless in White has been releasing albums for more than a decade and a half, but 2026 has turned out to be something of a breakout year for the group. Longtime fans may disagree, but according to the Billboard charts, it has only been during the past few months that a huge number of Americans have embraced the band\u2019s signature metalcore sound.<\/p>\n

This week, Motionless in White earns another champion on one Billboard tally and even manages to trade one winner for another. The group replaces itself at No. 1 while controlling nearly half of the entire ranking as its latest album Decades arrives.<\/p>\n

Motionless in White Replaces Itself at No. 1<\/p>\n

\u201cFight Like Hell\u201d<\/a> debuts at No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart<\/a>. Motionless in White replaces itself atop the tally, which ranks the most-consumed hard rock cuts \u2013 which also includes subgenres like metal \u2013 in the nation.<\/p>\n

Last frame, \u201cR.I.P.,\u201d the band\u2019s collaboration with singer-songwriter Skylar Grey, ruled once more. That track now slips to second place, giving the group control over the two highest rungs.<\/p>\n

Motionless in White Has Charted Four No. 1 Hits<\/p>\n

Motionless in White has now collected four No. 1 hits on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, and all of them have reached the top spot in 2026. The group first conquered the ranking in February with \u201cAfraid of the Dark.\u201d About three months later, \u201cPlaying God,\u201d which features Slipknot and Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor, launched at No. 1 in early July.<\/p>\n

\u201cR.I.P.\u201d<\/a> rose to the top just one week after debuting. Now, one month later, \u201cFight Like Hell\u201d rounds out the quartet of champions.<\/p>\n

Motionless in White\u2019s \u201cR.I.P.\u201d Set a New Record for the Band<\/p>\n

\u201cR.I.P.\u201d steps aside after becoming Motionless in White\u2019s longest-running No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. The collaboration spent three weeks in charge.<\/p>\n

That run beats the two frames that \u201cAfraid of the Dark\u201d managed in the peak position. \u201cPlaying God\u201d and \u201cFight Like Hell\u201d have so far spent one turn apiece running the show.<\/p>\n

The group earns three new top 10 smashes this frame. \u201cDecades,\u201d<\/a> \u201cSunglasses at Night\u201d and \u201clog_in\/\/crash_out\u201d debut at Nos. 8, 9 and 10, respectively. Those arrivals join the band\u2019s two recent leaders, \u201cFight Like Hell\u201d and \u201cR.I.P.\u201d Former champions \u201cAfraid of the Dark\u201d and \u201cPlaying God\u201d are also comfortable inside the top five at the moment, sitting pretty at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.<\/p>\n

Motionless in White Controls Nearly Half the Chart<\/p>\n

Motionless in White fills 12 spaces on this week\u2019s 25-position Hot Hard Rock Songs chart \u2013 just under half of the entire roster, and exactly half of all the tunes the group has ever sent to the tally.<\/p>\n

Five cuts launch beneath the top 10, including \u201cBlood Rave\u201d with Anthony Martinez, \u201cAll That I\u2019ve Ever Known,\u201d \u201cLove At First Bite,\u201d \u201cCount Back From Zero\u201d and \u201cBlood Pact,\u201d which enter the hard rock-only roster at Nos. 1, 13, 15, 16 and 19, respectively. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Motionless In White trades one No. 1 smash for another on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,48056,245611,245610,245612,245614,245613,245615,245617,245616,245618,278],"class_list":["post-581919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-motionless-in-white","tag-motionless-in-white-billboard","tag-motionless-in-white-charts","tag-motionless-in-white-decades","tag-motionless-in-white-decades-billboard","tag-motionless-in-white-decades-charts","tag-motionless-in-white-fight-like-hell","tag-motionless-in-white-fight-like-hell-billboard","tag-motionless-in-white-fight-like-hell-charts","tag-motionless-in-white-rip","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
