Metallica typically appears on charts in Western markets with a handful of popular albums, as well as some of its most beloved singles, which also help power the collections, reports Forbes Senior Contributor, Hugh McIntyre. A handful of hugely beloved tracks keep the band on weekly rankings, but from time to time, other, lesser-known songs (but ones which may have still become smashes for a while) manage to return as well.
This week, a decades-old Metallica cut breaks back onto one ranking in the United Kingdom, returning for the first time in a long while.
“I Disappear” is back on the Official Physical Singles chart this frame. The track re-enters the list of the bestselling songs on any physical format — such as CD, cassette, or specially released vinyl — at #91.
“I Disappear” has only spent four weeks in total on the Official Physical Singles chart, and it’s been nearly a quarter-century since it last appeared. The song debuted on the list at #35 in mid-August 2000. It then fell to #45, then #70, and by September of that year, it was gone. The track hasn’t been seen on this ranking since.

Metallica is continuing to release remasters of their catalog, with the latest being the 5x-platinum Load, available everywhere now.
Produced by Bob Rock, Load is the follow-up to Metallica, the best-selling album of the Soundscan era. Load contains fan favorites including “Until It Sleeps,” “Hero Of The Day,” “King Nothing,” and, for the first time ever, the original extended version of “The Outlaw Torn,” which was originally edited due to manufacturing limits.
Whether you prefer the flexibility of streaming or the weight of a 10 lb. collector’s edition release, there’s plenty to enjoy.
Order here. Stream here.
With 301 total tracks (245 unreleased) and weighing in at over ten pounds, the limited edition deluxe numbered box set of Load includes:
– Load (Remastered) on 180-gram double LP and CD
– “Mama Said” picture disc
– Three live LPs
– 15 CDs
– Four DVDs featuring unreleased content (live shows, rough mixes, demos, etc)
– MP3 download card of all audio
– Two tour laminates
– 11″ x 17″ Lollapalooza poster
– Pushead patch
– 8″ x 10″ Rolling Stone Magazine cover print
– Five-pack of guitar/bass picks
– Pack of 14 Rorschach Test cards
– Lyric folder and sheets

Metallica recently issued the following update in regards to their ongoing M72 World Tour:
“Get ready for year four of the M72 World Tour coming to Europe next spring and summer! Tickets go on sale Friday, 30 May, with presales beginning Tuesday, 27 May (more info below).
The production will feature the same unique stadium production in-the-round at midfield, with the Snake Pit in the center of the stage providing a complete 360° view of the show. We’re excited to continue the now-tradition of No Repeat Weekends and will also have a mix of some One Night Only shows. Pantera is returning for another M72 run with us, and we’re reuniting with our World Magnetic touring partner/WorldWired guest, Gojira. And we’re excited to welcome Knocked Loose and Avatar to the tour.
Frankfurt, Budapest, Dublin, and London will all feature No Repeat Weekend shows that will continue to offer a completely unique experience each night: two totally different set lists spanning our 40+ years with two different sets of support acts! Purchase a 2-Day ticket, and you won’t hear the same song twice. As you’ve come to expect, we’ll be sure to have lots of extracurricular events planned for you to hang with fellow Metallica fans on the day between shows.
Continuing with the new twist started in ’25, there will be eight One Night Only shows, including long-overdue stops in Athens (for the first time since 2010), Chorzów (for the first time since 2008), and Cardiff (for the first time since 1996!). We’ll also play single shows in Bucharest, Zurich, Berlin, Bologna, and Glasgow.
Enhanced Experiences ranging from access to a meet and greet, production and stage tour, and food and beverage in the Black Box Lounge to early entry into the venue and the aforementioned Snake Pit. The “I Disappear Ticket” is back and is the ultimate pass for the fan who wants to run away with us and attend every M72 2026 show in Europe! For more information about Enhanced Experiences and I Disappear Tickets, visit wearesuper.co/metallica. Travel packages will also be available for select locations, including hotel, ticket, and local transportation passes. Visit metallicatravel.com for all the info.”
