Multiple artists, including pop singer Halsey and BTS member Suga, have contributed to the brand, and this week on the Billboard charts, the song that accompanies Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred nearly rises to No. 1, but it is blocked from the summit by an even more popular collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Korn\u2019s \u201cReward The Scars\u201d Jumps To No. 2<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2019\/09\/27\/korn-is-now-tied-for-the-fifth-most-top-10-albums-among-all-rock-acts\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2019\/09\/27\/korn-is-now-tied-for-the-fifth-most-top-10-albums-among-all-rock-acts\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Korn\" rel=\"noopener\">Korn<\/a> recently released a new single titled \u201cReward The Scars\u201d in collaboration with Diablo IV and Blizzard Entertainment. Last week, \u201cReward The Scars\u201d debuted at No. 9 on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hard-rock-digital-song-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hard-rock-digital-song-sales\/\" aria-label=\"Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart\">Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart<\/a>, Billboard\u2019s list of the bestselling tunes in that rock subgenre via platforms like iTunes, Amazon, and more. \u201cReward The Scars\u201d opened in ninth place on the 10-space roster, and now it\u2019s all the way up to No. 2.<\/p>\n<p>MGK And Fred Durst Block Korn From No. 1<\/p>\n<p>Only one single keeps Korn from a new champion on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, and it\u2019s the track that started in first place last week. At the same time that \u201cReward The Scars\u201d launched closer to the bottom of the roster, MGKMGK \u2013 formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly \u2013 recruited Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst for the song <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8ULmhXO4gks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8ULmhXO4gks\" aria-label=\"\u201cFix Ur Face.\u201d\">\u201cFix Ur Face.\u201d<\/a> For the second frame in a row, that hard-rocking cut leads the sales rundown.<\/p>\n<p>Korn\u2019s \u201cNarcissistic Cannibal\u201d Remains Its Only No. 1<\/p>\n<p>Korn has racked up a lucky 13 top 10 hits on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, but so far, only one leader. In November 2011, the group joined Skrillex and Kill The Noise for the electronic and dark \u201cNarcissistic Cannibal.\u201d That collaboration opened in the peak position and wound up spending a total of three weeks in that spot.<\/p>\n<p>Korn\u2019s \u201cReward The Scars\u201d Joins Other No. 2-Charters<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReward The Scars\u201d is now the fifth single by Korn to fail to rule the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart by just one space. That\u2019s nearly half of all the tracks by the group that have broken into the top 10. \u201cReward The Scars\u201d joins \u201cBlind,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Find Me,\u201d \u201cRotting In Vain,\u201d and \u201cGet Up!,\u201d a second collaboration with Skrillex, by peaking at No. 2, at least thus far.<\/p>\n<p>Korn\u2019s \u201cReward The Scars\u201d Debuts on Multiple Charts<\/p>\n<p>Korn earns new top 10s on two additional lists as \u201cReward The Scars\u201d arrives. On the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, the track launches at No. 3, and Korn collects its third placement between Nos. 1 and 10 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales list. \u201cReward The Scars\u201d opens in tenth place. Korn claims four top 10s in its discography on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sHmnnNxu6Ww\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sHmnnNxu6Ww\" aria-label=\"\u201cReward The Scars\u201d\">\u201cReward The Scars\u201d<\/a> ties with \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Find Me,\u201d while \u201cBlind\u201d and \u201cGet Up!\u201d with Skrillex climbed higher, stalling at Nos. 5 and 7, respectively, on the Alternative Digital Song Sales tally. \u201cReward The Scars\u201d is now Korn\u2019s second-highest-ranking hit ever on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. It trails \u201cStart The Healing,\u201d which peaked at No. 2 in 2021. \u201cCan You Hear Me\u201d only ever lifted as high as No. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Korn\u2019s \u201cReward The Scars\u201d Misses the Top 10 on One List<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReward The Scars\u201d only fails to enter the top 10 on one of the four Billboard charts where it currently appears. It is on the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking where Korn\u2019s latest misses that space, at least as it earns its first stay. \u201cReward The Scars\u201d debuts at No. 13, becoming the band\u2019s eleventh placement.<\/p>\n<p>Korn\u2019s Greatest Hits Vol. 1 Climbs on Several Rankings<\/p>\n<p>The success of \u201cReward The Scars\u201d seems to be having a positive impact on the sole Korn album that\u2019s still charting in America \u2013 as is the disappearance of many Record Store Day releases. Greatest Hits Vol. 1 steps up one spot to No. 12 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, and from No. 50, last place, to No. 43 on the Top Rock and Alternative Albums ranking.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2019\/09\/27\/korn-is-now-tied-for-the-fifth-most-top-10-albums-among-all-rock-acts\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Korn Is Now Tied For The Fifth-Most Top 10 Albums Among All Rock Acts\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2019\/09\/27\/korn-is-now-tied-for-the-fifth-most-top-10-albums-among-all-rock-acts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">ForbesKorn Is Now Tied For The Fifth-Most Top 10 Albums Among All Rock ActsBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Korn nearly earns its second No. 1 on Billboard&#8217;s Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart as &#8220;Reward the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,263654,96745,263660,263659,263662,263661,263656,263658,263657,269,263655,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-944190","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-hard-rock-digital-song-sales","10":"tag-korn","11":"tag-korn-billboard","12":"tag-korn-charts","13":"tag-korn-diablo","14":"tag-korn-new-music","15":"tag-korn-reward-the-scars","16":"tag-korn-reward-the-scars-billboard","17":"tag-korn-reward-the-scars-charts","18":"tag-music","19":"tag-reward-the-scars","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116534320154236681","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
