Deftones' Enduring Legacy: A New Hit from Their Oldest Song
Deftones, the legendary rock band, have achieved a remarkable feat with one of their oldest songs, "My Own Summer (Shove It)", debuting on the charts and propelling the band to new heights. This track, released in 1997, is a testament to the band's enduring popularity and artistic evolution.
The band's recent success is further solidified by the release of their album, Private Music, which has been a critical and commercial triumph. As multiple singles from Private Music climb the Billboard charts, "My Own Summer (Shove It)" finally reaches the coveted spot on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, marking a significant milestone in the band's career.
A Journey to the Top
"My Own Summer (Shove It)" has been a long-awaited hit, released as the lead single from their second album, Around the Fur. Despite its initial release in 1997, it has taken decades for the song to gain widespread recognition. The track's debut at No. 25 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart is a testament to the band's enduring appeal and the power of their music.
Deftones' presence on the chart is a significant achievement, as it marks only their fourth appearance on the list of the most successful hard rock cuts. This success is particularly notable given the band's long-standing presence in the music industry.
A Trio of Hits
The band's success extends beyond "My Own Summer (Shove It)". Another single from Private Music, "Infinite Source", continues to climb the charts, reaching new peaks on the Rock & Alternative Airplay and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts. It currently holds the 11th position on the Alternative Airplay list and has returned to the upper register on the Hot Hard Rock Songs tally, pushing from No. 12 to No. 10.
The Hot Hard Rock Songs chart showcases a trio of Deftones hits, with "My Mind Is a Mountain" and "I Think About You All the Time" also making an appearance. This success highlights the band's versatility and their ability to create a diverse range of hits.
Around the Fur's Return
While Private Music's singles are thriving, the album itself is notably absent from the Billboard charts. However, Around the Fur, the band's second album, has made a triumphant return. It debuts on the Top Rock Albums chart at No. 24, marking the band's eighth placement on this genre-specific list.
Around the Fur's resurgence is further evidenced by its debut on the Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts. The album's ascent to Nos. 5, 20, and 32 on these lists, respectively, is a testament to its enduring appeal and the band's ability to create timeless music.
A New Chapter in Deftones' Journey
Deftones' success with Around the Fur is particularly noteworthy, as it marks the first time the album has reached the top five on the Hard Rock Albums chart after 90 weeks on the consumption-based roster. This achievement is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their ability to create music that resonates with audiences across generations.
In conclusion, Deftones' journey to the top with "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and the success of Around the Fur showcase the band's enduring appeal and artistic evolution. Their ability to create hits across different eras and genres solidifies their place as one of the most influential and beloved rock bands of their generation.
