Disturbed has maintained significant popularity within the metal genre since their debut album in 2000. Their cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence' has shown impressive endurance on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart since 2015, representing a noteworthy achievement in popular music. The contrast between the haunting atmosphere of the original song and Disturbed's nu-metal style contributes to the song's ongoing relevance and success, even as the nu-metal genre had largely waned by the time of its release.
"If you're in the mood for an underdog story, I recommend perusing Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. It is home to, genuinely, one of the most substantial feats of endurance in the history of popular music, and it shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon."
"Entertaining though the sheer incongruity of a nu-metal version of 'The Sound of Silence' would be, that movement had long since flamed out by 2015, when Disturbed recorded their cover of Simon & Garfunkel's signature song."
"While you almost certainly know Simon & Garfunkel, you may not know Disturbed, who've been steadily popular in the metal world since the release of their debut album The Sickness in 2000."
"Disturbed's cover has been at, or near, the apex of that chart since 2015, demonstrating its remarkable resilience in the popular music landscape."
