Bob Vylan take a victory lap after their album re-enters UK charts despite their 'Death to IDF' controversy at Glastonbury
Bob Vylan weren't the only artists at the festival who spoke out in favor of Palestinian human rights and condemned Israel for what the nation's critics claim is a genocidal pogrom against the residents of the Gaza strip. However, Bobby Vylan did take their rhetoric further than most by saying:"Alright, but have you heard this one, though? Death, death to the IDF!"

The duo were harshly condemned for their "Death to the IDF" chants by many of the United Kingdom's politicians, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis, along with the BBC, promptly distanced themselves from the duo.
Bob Vylan refused to apologize for their comments and denied that they were antisemitic, saying:"We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza."
Bob Vylan celebrate after their music re-enters the charts
Ban Bob Vylan? The people said 'Nah'. We need artists that speak up. Our album 'Humble As The Sun' is back in the charts and, as an independent band releasing music on our own label, it shows the power of the people. You can't get dropped if you own the label. Thank you all! pic.twitter.com/2QsjP00e1i
Although there were calls for Bob Vylan to be investigated for hate crimes following their Glastonbury comments, the duo didn't face any legal repercussions for their speech. However, their invitations to the Radar Festival and Kave Fest were revoked, and the United States Department of State barred their entry by revoking their visas.
Bob Vylan have claimed victory, however, with their album, 'Humble Like the Sun', re-entering the UK charts this past weekend. The duo revealed that the album had now reached the top spot in the UK's hip-hop and R&B chart, and No. 8 on the album downloads chart.Bobby Vylan credited their own independence as a major reason why their music had returned to the charts so quickly, saying 'You can't get dropped if you own the label.'
