Guns N’ Roses broke into mainstream consciousness in 1987 with their single “Welcome to the Jungle,” which introduced them to the world and made them superstars. 36 years after it was first released, that cut is on the rise on the Billboard charts, and it’s not the only piece of music from the band that’s still incredibly popular.
This week, “Welcome to the Jungle” is up on two Billboard charts. Many decades-old singles don’t often make it onto American charts, and even those that do seldom rise on more than one tally at a time without any significant catalyst.
“Welcome to the Jungle” is back on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this week. The Guns N’ Roses single is back at No. 5 on Billboard’s list of the best-selling songs in the United States that fall under the hard rock category. It was absent from the previous frame’s list.
This week’s top for “Welcome to the Jungle” on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart was very nearly reached. Guns N’ Roses may have made it back to their highest performance if this frame’s events had gone a little differently. The catchy cut has risen as high as No. 3.
“Welcome to the Jungle” has not only made a healthy profit but is continuing streaming nicely. This time around, the song lands at No. 22 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. That is only one slot more than it was the last time.
