The band’s 18th #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart was their first single since the return of original frontman Adam Gontier – sharing lead vocals with Matt Walst, who has been with the band since ’13.
“I feel like it’s been seamless, better than we were expecting,” Gontier offered. “It’s like we got back in a room together and picked up where we left off. We have been friends for so long, it’s kind of natural to get back in the room together.” Gontier left Three Days Grace in ’13 citing unspecified“ health issues.”
Three Days Grace – Mayday

I Will Not Break – Disturbed
First Week At #1: 4/12
The track was produced by Drew Fulk (WZRD BLD).
“Drew was kind of a younger guy in his 30s,” noted Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan. “I liked what he was doing (with) Wage War and then Motionless In White, and he did a couple of one-off songs with Papa Roach and Pop Evil and stuff like that. And I thought that this could be a really good marriage between him and Disturbed.”
The song spent three weeks at #1 before being knocked-off by “House Of Sand” only return the following week.
It was the band’s first new music since its ’22 album “Divisive.”

“As we evolve the music and push things forward, you never know what’s gonna happen in the studio,” offered frontman Jacoby Shaddix. “And I’ve gotta tell you, what happened in the studio this time around has been just exciting.”
“Even If It Kills Me” was Papa Roach’s eleventh #1 making them the band with the tenth most leaders in the chart’s history.
The track was also the band’s fourth #1 in a row following “No Apologies” (’22), “Cut The Line” (’23) and “Leave A Light On” (’24).

Holy Water – Funeral Portrait (featuring Ivan Moody)
First Week At #1: 6/14
The track features Five Finger Death Punch vocalist Ivan Moody.
“Before our tour together, I wasn’t too familiar with The Funeral Portrait’s music, so I didn’t know what to expect,” shared Moody, the Five Finger Death Punch frontman. “But after watching them night after night, seeing how they commanded the stage and connected with the crowd, I was absolutely hooked.”
Moody also discussed how the collaboration came about. “I heard ‘Holy Water’ on the radio and couldn’t help but sing along. So I hit up Lee (vocalist Lee Jennings) about the possibility of me redoing the song with them. Luckily, he was all in — and here we are.”
