Metallica’s catalog contains some of the most successful hard rock songs of all time, reports Forbes Senior Contributor, Hugh McIntyre. While the group has scored numerous bestselling hits in the United Kingdom throughout the decades, one track stands out as not just the most successful in many regards, but also the longest-running on one chart that the Grammy winners know very well.
“Enter Sandman” is Metallica’s only hit in the United Kingdom this week. Sometimes, the group fills multiple spots with several beloved songs and a number of popular albums. This frame is a quiet one for the superstars, though even during its tamest periods, Metallica still manages to do what few before have managed.
“Enter Sandman” keeps on the “Official Rock & Metal Singles” chart this week. It declines one spot to #15, but the number of frames it has spent on the tally is worthy of note. As of this period, “Enter Sandman” has spent 750 weeks on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart.
That means it has stood out as one of the 40 bestselling tunes in rock, metal, hard rock, and other closely related subgenres throughout the UK, one of the world’s most important music markets, for 750 terms. That’s a nearly incomprehensible level of popularity and longevity that few artists could muster.
