Evanescence land their first ever Hard Rock No. 1 with “Who Will You Follow”

Evanescence have scored a major milestone, landing their first-ever No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart with the new single “Who Will You Follow.”

The track debuts at the top of the April 25 chart, marking a first since the ranking launched in 2020. In its opening week ending April 16, the song generated 1.2 million streams, 2 million radio impressions, and around 2,000 downloads in the U.S., according to Luminate.

It also becomes only the second song in 2026 to debut straight at No. 1 on the chart, following Ice Nine Kills’ “Twisting the Knife” featuring Mckenna Grace.

Across their career, Evanescence have now placed seven songs on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, with previous highs including No. 2 peaks for “The Game Is Over” and the revived classic “Bring Me to Life.”

The momentum continues across Billboard: the track also hits No. 1 on Hard Rock Digital Song Sales and debuts at No. 23 on Mainstream Rock Airplay, their strongest opening on the chart to date.

“Who Will You Follow” is the second single from their upcoming album Sanctuary, due June 5.
