According to Billboard, DISTURBED's "No More" has landed at position No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart. The song, which is the third single from the band's 2018 album "Evolution", marks DISTURBED's seventh straight No. 1 on the chart. Each of DISTURBED's last seven singles has reached No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Songs, a feat unmatched by any artist. DISTURBED has a total of 10 Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1s. THREE DAYS GRACE holds the record with 15 No. 1s, followed by SHINEDOWN at 14 and VAN HALEN with 13.

DISTURBED's second North American leg of the "Evolution" tour kicked off on July 21 in Mankato, Minnesota, winding through the next three months before coming to a close on October 11 in St. Louis. Select shows on the tour feature either POP EVIL or IN THIS MOMENT as special guests.
