Quiet Riot, a band that played a significant role in popularizing heavy metal music in the U.S. decades ago, continues to captivate American audiences with their timeless hits. This week, the group achieved a milestone by earning their first top 10 hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart with their iconic track, 'Bang Your Head (Mental Health),' debuting at No. 4.
'Bang Your Head (Mental Health)' was released as a single in 1983 from Quiet Riot's album 'Mental Health,' which also topped the Billboard 200 chart. Preceding this success, the band had another major hit with 'Cum on Feel the Noize,' reaching No. 5 on the Hot 100 chart.
The resurgence of 'Bang Your Head (Mental Health)' on the charts showcases the enduring appeal of Quiet Riot's music, resonating with both longtime fans and new listeners. The track's entry into the top 10 marks a significant achievement for the band, as it is their first appearance on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
While 'Bang Your Head (Mental Health)' is the sole debut on the chart this week, other notable songs like Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine' also make a return. AC/DC's classic hit 'Thunderstruck' claims the No. 1 spot on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, dethroning Hardy's 'Rockstar' after a 46-week reign.
Quiet Riot's continued success on the music charts serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and the timeless appeal of their hard rock sound. As the band celebrates this latest achievement, fans can look forward to more iconic hits from Quiet Riot resonating across the airwaves for years to come.
