Forbes is reporting that following Metallica’s surprise album announcement and new single release last week, the band has unsurprisingly cracked Billboard’s "Hot Trending Songs" with their latest track, “Lux Aeterna”.
Billboard Charts’ official Twitter revealed the news, showcasing the single at #6 on this week’s "Hot Trending Songs". Interestingly, the charts also show Metallica’s “72 Seasons", the title track for Metallica’s upcoming studio album, at #9 for this week’s charts. Provided “72 Seasons” hasn’t been released by the band yet, it’s not clear exactly how or why this track ended up on Billboard’s charts. Possibly it’s a mistake or there’s confusion with the albums title itself, but so far “Lux Aeterna” is the only single Metallica has put out for their upcoming eleventh studio album, 72 Seasons.
