Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’” debuts at No. 10 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart after a sync in … More
Limp Bizkit is back on the Billboard charts this week, but not with a new release. Instead, the nu metal band sees one of its oldest tracks finally earn a new home more than two decades after it first dropped. “Rollin’” appears on one Billboard ranking for the first time ever, and it doesn’t just show up — it rocks straight into the top 10.
Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’” Is a Top 10 Hit in the U.S.
Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’” debuts at No. 10 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this week. The track narrowly manages to find space on Billboard’s list of the bestselling tracks in that one genre, as the tally now features just 10 spaces. Any time a tune arrives, it becomes a top 10 hit, and the rockers add another smash to their list of wins.
Another Hard Rock Smash for Limp Bizkit
“Rollin’” becomes Limp Bizkit’s fourth top 10 hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. It’s also the group’s sixth appearance on the tally overall. While the chart now only features 10 positions, it used to run longer.
Prior to this frame, Limp Bizkit had already reached the uppermost tier with “Break Stuff” (No. 3), “Dad Vibes” (No. 4), and “Ready to Go” with Lil Wayne (No. 6).
Netflix’s Devil May Cry Produces a Smash
The sudden success of “Rollin’” can be attributed to Devil May Cry, Netflix’s new action-packed animated series. Based on the beloved video game franchise, the show premiered in early April and was quickly renewed for a second season thanks to strong viewership numbers and a warm reception from critics.
The series features several hard rock staples, but “Rollin’” appears to be the clear breakout from the soundtrack. It’s the one cut that’s gained the most traction across digital platforms, and, seemingly, sold the best.
“Break Stuff” Is Also Climbing Again
Limp Bizkit’s presence on the charts in America this frame isn’t limited to just one title. “Break Stuff,” another fan favorite from the group’s heyday, is also growing. This week, it lifts from No. 21 to No. 18 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. The title has now spent 109 frames on that ranking and previously climbed as high as No. 7.
“Rollin’” Was Already a Huge Chart Success in 2000
“Rollin’” was first released in 2000 as a single from Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. That laughably-titled album turned out to be a huge commercial success, as it reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has already been certified six-times platinum.
The song became one of Limp Bizkit’s most recognizable anthems, earning massive airplay and becoming a staple of early 2000s rock radio. Now, nearly 25 years later, it’s experiencing a second wave of success, with a little help from Netflix.
