Volbeat Climbs Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1 Leaderboard With ‘Time Will Heal’
Volbeat scores a milestone No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, jumping two spots to the top of the Nov. 1-dated survey with “Time Will Heal.”
It’s the 12th leader for Volbeat and second in a row, following “By a Monster’s Hand,” which reigned for two weeks in May.
With its latest ruler, the Danish band climbs into a tie with Papa Roach for the 10th-most No. 1s since Mainstream Rock Airplay began in 1981.
Most No. 1s, Mainstream Rock Airplay:
- 21, Shinedown
- 19, Three Days Grace
- 16, Five Finger Death Punch
- 14, Foo Fighters
- 14, Metallica
- 13, Disturbed
- 13, Godsmack
- 13, Linkin Park

- 12, Papa Roach
- 12, Volbeat
Volbeat first topped Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2012 with “Still Counting,” a year after its maiden appearance on the tally with “Fallen” (No. 11).
The act is the highest-ranking European-based band on the all-time No. 1 tally and second-best among non-U.S. acts, behind Canada’s Three Days Grace.
Concurrently, “Time Will Heal” vaults 13-8 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.6 million audience impressions in the week ending Oct. 23, up 19%, according to Luminate. Volbeat now boasts five top 10s, paced by the No. 5-peaking “Shotgun Blues” in 2022.
“Time Will Heal” is the second single, following “By a Monster’s Hand,” from God of Angels Trust, Volbeat’s ninth studio album. The set bowed at No. 5 on Top Hard Rock Albums in June and has earned 38,000 equivalent album units to date.
All Billboard charts dated Nov. 1 will update Tuesday, Oct. 28, on Billboard.com.
