The updated version of “Crossing the Rubicon” featuring Nothing More has made its debut in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart this week! This is the band’s first time appearing on the chart. The track was released last fall as their first single with Better Noise Music.
Bassist Pär Sundström expressed his excitement, saying, “This was an unexpected surprise and a very welcome one. Sabaton never takes any support for granted, so this means a lot to us! Having this news just before we start our North American tour makes us even more excited to perform for our American fans!”
Lead vocalist Joakim Brodén also shared his thoughts on this achievement, calling it a major milestone. “Reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for the first time is something we’re very proud of, especially in the U.S.,” he said. “Seeing ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ connect with rock radio and fans is an amazing feeling. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our record label, Better Noise Music, our listeners, radio stations, and, of course, our labelmates, Nothing More!”
The band kicked off their worldwide tour last October in Istanbul, Turkey. They are recognized as the number one global power metal band and one of Sweden’s most successful acts.
Better Noise Music is also enjoying success with other artists on its roster. Sabaton’s 32-date North American headline tour starts on February 9 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They will perform in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, wrapping up the tour on April 20 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Fans can look forward to an exciting lineup of shows!
