The Eagles Soar On The Billboard Charts Once More
As that run of shows continues to grow, fans in the United States keep pressing play on the songs and albums that made the outfit so hugely successful — and worthy of a residency in the first place. This week, the Eagles return to multiple Billboard rankings with classics and longtime favorites.
The band mounts its momentary comeback with both an album and a song. Usually, with a legacy act, it's one or the other that performs well. There aren't many that can succeed with decades-old tunes and collections, but the Eagles are one of the few that can.
The group's sole hit at the moment is "Hotel California," which is widely regarded as not just the most successful tune by the Eagles, but perhaps the group's best as well. That track is a worldwide sensation once more as it returns to the Billboard Global 200. That tally, which was introduced about half a decade ago, ranks the most-consumed songs throughout the world using a methodology that blends sales and streaming activity.
This frame, the Eagles smash sits at No. 186 on the tally. It may currently rank fairly low on the 200-spot roster, but "Hotel California" has actually never cracked the upper half of the list in the 122 frames it has spent on the Billboard Global 200. The Eagles' classic has only flown as high as No. 132.
Streams and sales of "Hotel California" are helping fuel the Eagles' compilation Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975. Already one of the most successful collections of all time, the title appears on a trio of Billboard rankings this frame. It reenters the Top Rock Albums roster at No. 24, while also rising several spots on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart (No. 30) and the Billboard 200 (No. 139).
Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 has spent hundreds of weeks on each of those rankings, though the exact amount of time varies quite a bit from list to list. It's up to 259 frames on the Top Rock Albums chart and is nearing 500 on the Billboard 200.
While the project has peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — the most competitive albums ranking in America — it only climbed as high as No. 8 on the genre-specific tallies. One might assume the opposite would be true, as competition isn't as tough on style-focused rosters, though those weren't introduced until long after the Eagles released the collection.
The Eagles are slated to finish the Las Vegas residency at the Sphere this coming November. The group began the run in September of last year and it has been marketed – rather intensely – as a farewell. Due to what must be incredible demand, multiple shows have been added several times. At some point, though, the band will finally have to end the show and walk away for good.

Deftones Hit No. 1 For The First Time
Deftones debut at No. 1 on two Billboard charts with 'My Mind Is a Mountain,' the lead single from ... More upcoming album Private Music, due August 22. CONCORD, CA - JULY 06: Vocalist Chino Moreno of Deftones performs at Concord Pavilion on July 6, 2017 in Concord, California. (Photo by Miikka Skaffari/FilmMagic) In a little less than a month, Deftones will release a new album titled Private Music. The hard rock group's tenth full-length is scheduled to arrive on August 22. The first single from the set, "My Mind Is a Mountain," clearly has fans excited for the next chapter, which is one they've been awaiting for years. The track debuts across more than a dozen Billboard charts in the United States this week, and as it drops, the cut even helps the band reach impressive new peaks, three decades into its tenure. "My Mind Is a Mountain" Tops Two Billboard Rankings "My Mind Is a Mountain" opens at No. 1 on two of the 13 Billboard tallies it appears on this week, as the single launches in first place on both the Hot Hard Rock Songs and Hard Rock Streaming Songs charts. Deftones earns a debut winner on those two rankings, hitting the summit for the first time. The band also cracks the top 10 on the list of the bestselling hard rock cuts throughout the U.S., as well as both the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts as well. Deftones' History With Billboard's Hard Rock Charts While "My Mind Is a Mountain" is the group's initial top 10 entry on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, Deftones have previously landed inside the upper tier on the all-consumption Hot Hard Rock Songs list. The band narrowly missed a first-place arrival in 2020 when 'Ohms' launched and peaked at No. 2. The hard rock legends also climbed into the upper reaches of Billboard's ranking of the most consumed hard rock tunes throughout the country with 'Genesis' (No. 3), 'Ceremony' (No. 9), and 'Urantia' (No. 10), all of which reached the list in 2020. More Chart Firsts for Deftones On the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs tallies, the band's new single debuts at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively. The band breaks into the loftiest space for the first time on both charts as this latest era begins. "My Mind Is a Mountain" scores the group its first appearance on the Rock Streaming Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs lists at the same time.

Travis Scott Outsells The Next Two Bestselling Albums In America Combined
JackBoys 2 opens atop multiple Billboard charts, including the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales, as ... More Travis Scott beats Ateez and Twice by a wide margin. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 12: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (EXCLUSIVE ACCESS) Travis Scott performs at the Coachella Stage during the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 12, 2025 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Most rap musicians rely on hefty streaming sums to conquer the Billboard charts, either with exciting new songs or full-length projects. Hip-hop dominates as the biggest genre in America, easily taking the lead on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, where users gravitate toward the style in huge numbers. A handful of artists in the competitive space have developed fan bases that are eager to purchase new music, not just stream it, and Travis Scott is leading that charge, especially when it comes to albums. The rap powerhouse's new full-length JackBoys 2, which credits him both as a solo act and as a member of the group JackBoys, conquers several Billboard charts this week, thanks largely to an impressive opening sales sum. JackBoys 2 Opens at No. 1 JackBoys 2 — the sequel to the simply-titled JackBoys, which arrived several years ago — opens at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales chart. Luminate reports that the full-length shifted 232,000 equivalent units in its first tracking period, with more than 160,000 of those being actual purchases. Both sums easily prove to be enough to send Scott and his fellow musicians to the summit of two of the most important album rankings in the United States, as when it comes to pure sales, nobody could compete. Ateez Misses Returning to No. 1 This week, the second-bestselling album in the U.S. is Golden Hour: Part 3 by K-pop boy band Ateez. That project rockets up the Top Album Sales tally from No. 12 to No. 2 thanks to 70,200 copies sold. That's less than half of what JackBoys 2 managed during a truncated tracking week, as the set didn't arrive on Friday as is typical, but later in the weekend. Travis Scott Beats Ateez and Twice Scott and company outsell the next two bestselling projects in America this week with no real competition for the top spot on the Top Album Sales list. Coming in just behind Golden Hour: Part 3 is Twice's This Is For, which starts with 67,800 copies sold. JackBoys 2 outsold both Ateez and Twice with tens of thousands of copies to spare. Travis Scott Also Dominates the Genre Charts JackBoys 2 also manages to dominate both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts as it arrives. The set doesn't quite make it to the summit on the Vinyl Albums or Top Streaming Albums tallies, instead entering those lists at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
