\u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d<\/a> starts its time on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart at No. 5. Megadeth has now scored five hits on Billboard\u2019s ranking of the bestselling hard rock tunes across the nation on platforms like iTunes, four of which have cracked the top 10.<\/p>\nMegadeth Ties Its Own Record<\/p>\n
\u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d is now tied with \u201cWake Up Dead,\u201d a collaboration with Lamb of God and Dave Mustaine \u2013 who is credited separately from the group \u2013 as the band\u2019s third-highest-peaking hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Megadeth earned its first champion in October as \u201cTipping Point\u201d debuted at No. 1 and then quickly fell away. Several years ago, \u201cWe\u2019ll Be Back\u201d missed out on running the show by just a single spot. Megadeth\u2019s only other win on the tally, \u201cSoldier On!,\u201d climbed as high as No. 17.<\/p>\n
Megadeth Joins Skillet, Bad Omens and a Taylor Swift Cover<\/p>\n
As four songs debut on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking \u2014 which is a relatively large number considering the fact that the tally only features 10 spaces these days \u2014 the roster is led by Skillet, whose holiday tune \u201cO Come, O Come, Emmanuel\u201d leads the charge. Bad Omens debut \u201cLeft for Good\u201d at No. 2, while Our Last Night scores a successful smash with the band\u2019s cover of Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia,\u201d which begins its time at No. 6.<\/p>\n
Megadeth Adds to the Band\u2019s Chart Wins with New Single<\/p>\n
Megadeth has also earned five stays on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, a tally which is compiled blending radio airplay, sales, and streaming data. On that list, \u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d barely manages to find space, as it opens at No. 25, in last place. <\/p>\n

\u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d ranks as Megadeth\u2019s lowest-peaking tune on that tally, taking that honor \u2014 if that is the right word \u2014 away from \u201cThe Sick, the Dying\u2026 and the Dead!\u201d Megadeth has also placed on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart with \u201cWe\u2019ll Be Back,\u201d \u201cTipping Point,\u201d and the previously mentioned \u201cWake Up Dead,\u201d though unlike on the sales-focused roster, the band has yet to reach the top 10 with any of its releases.<\/p>\n
Debuts on This Week\u2019s Hard Rock Digital Song Sales Chart<\/p>\n
As is the case on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, four tunes debut on the Hot Hard Rock Songs tally. Skillet and Bad Omens open inside the top 10, while Broadway favorite Christian Borle launches \u201cBrighter,\u201d under his own name, though it was written and recorded for Amazon series Hazbin Hotel, at No. 15. <\/p>\n
Our Last Night\u2019s reworking of Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d may be a bestseller in the genre, but it does not make it to the Hot Hard Rock Songs list, at least not yet, as it seems that while it sold enough copies to appear on one roster, it did not perform well enough on streaming platforms or radio to make it to the all-encompassing ranking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Megadeth’s new single “I Don’t Care” debuts inside the top 10 on a Billboard chart, proving the band…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,118034,118042,118038,118035,118037,118036,118043,118041,118039,118040,128,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-291374","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-megadeth-billboard-charts","10":"tag-megadeth-chart-success","11":"tag-megadeth-dave-mustaine","12":"tag-megadeth-i-dont-care","13":"tag-megadeth-in-your-feelings","14":"tag-megadeth-megadeth-album","15":"tag-megadeth-new-single","16":"tag-megadeth-soldier-on","17":"tag-megadeth-tipping-point","18":"tag-megadeth-wake-up-dead","19":"tag-music","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom","22":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
