Get ready to rock, because VOLBEAT just made history again! The Danish rock powerhouse has claimed their record-breaking twelfth No. 1 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart with their latest single, 'Time Will Heal'. But here's where it gets even more impressive: they’re still the undisputed champions for the most No. 1 singles on this chart by any artist based outside North America. Talk about global domination!
This achievement comes hot on the heels of their earlier 2025 hit, 'By A Monster's Hand', which dominated the chart for three weeks. For those keeping track, VOLBEAT first set this record back in March 2020 with 'Die To Live' (featuring CLUTCH's Neil Fallon), their eighth No. 1. And this is the part most people miss: their consistency in topping the charts is unmatched, proving they’re not just a one-hit wonder but a force to be reckoned with.
Frontman Michael Poulsen shared some insightful thoughts on 'Time Will Heal': 'Musically, it’s a quintessential VOLBEAT track, especially for our pop-rock fans. But lyrically, it’s about those days when life feels like it’s working against you—waking up feeling off for no apparent reason. We’ve all been there, right? It’s like stepping out of bed on the wrong foot. But the song’s message is about balance: accepting the bad days as much as the good ones. It’s a reminder that even in darkness, there’s always light ahead. So, when you’re having a rough day, tell yourself it could turn around in minutes, hours, or by tomorrow. It’s about appreciating the simple fact of being alive.' Controversial take? Some might argue that the song’s optimism feels almost too polished, but isn’t that what we need in chaotic times? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Both 'Time Will Heal' and 'By A Monster's Hand' are standout tracks from VOLBEAT’s ninth studio album, 'God Of Angels Trust', released on June 6. After a triumphant U.S. tour, the band is now conquering Europe, headlining shows through the end of the year as part of their 'The Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide'. With over 145 gold and platinum certifications, 18 Top 10 singles, and a Grammy nomination for 'Room 24' (featuring King Diamond), VOLBEAT’s journey from Danish clubs to global stages is nothing short of legendary.
The current lineup—Poulsen, drummer Jon Larsen, bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen, and touring lead guitarist Flemming C. Lund—continues to deliver electrifying performances. But here’s a thought-provoking question: As VOLBEAT keeps breaking records, are they redefining what it means to be a rock band in the 21st century?
