Disturbed Debut At #1 On Billboard... (Surprised?)
September 10, 2010
Disturbed have proven once again they are one of the country's biggest hard rock bands with their new
Reprise Records release
'Asylum', which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart.
'Asylum' is the band's fourth consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1, a feat achieved by only two other rock groups in history:
Metallica and the
Dave Matthews Band.
Disturbed's current single "
Another Way to Die" is a #1 hit at Active Rock Radio. It is the fastest #1 on Billboard's Active Rock chart in over 3 years and is the band's 7th # 1 single on Billboard's Active Rock chart: they are tied with
Metallica for the 3rd most #1's on the Active Rock chart.
The Chicago foursome is currently headlining the first annual
Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival, which runs through October 4th. Also on the bill are
Avenged Sevenfold (w/
Mike Portnoy),
Stone Sour,
HellYeah and
Halestorm. Visit

Disturbed will continue to tour through the end of the year, with a European run from mid-November through mid-December. Plans are also in the works for their 4th annual
Music As A Weapon Tour, tentatively slated to run from January-March 2011.
