Motionless in White hits No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart for the third time this year, reaching the summit of the July 4-dated tally with “R.I.P.,” featuring Skylar Grey.
In the week ending June 25, “R.I.P.” drew 1.5 million chart-eligible streams and 188,000 radio audience impressions, and sold 1,000 in the United States, according to Luminate. That’s after 400,000 streams and 1,000 sold June 17-18, following the song’s June 17 release; it debuted at No. 17 on the June 27-dated ranking from that early activity.
Motionless in White now has three Hot Hard Rock Songs No. 1s, all in 2026 — no other act has more than one this year — with “R.I.P.” following “Afraid of the Dark” and “Playing God,” the latter featuring Corey Taylor. Still, the band has been a steady a presence since the chart’s 2020 inception, with a dozen entries before this year, including five top 10s.
As for Grey, “R.I.P.” marks a return to No. 1 for the singer-songwriter as a recording artist, her first since Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Coming Home,” on which she’s featured, topped Digital Song Sales in 2011. She also led the Billboard Hot 100 as a songwriter (then credited as Holly Brook) of Eminem’s Rihanna-featuring “Love the Way You Lie” for seven weeks in 2010.
It’s Grey’s first time on any ranking with a newly released song since 2024, when she charted collaborations with Eminem (“Temporary”) and Jelly Roll (“Past Yesterday”).
Motionless in White has three songs in the upper reaches of Hot Hard Rock Songs; below “R.I.P.,” “Afraid of the Dark” and “Playing God” rank at Nos. 4 and 11, respectively. All three are on Decades, Motionless in White’s seventh studio album, due July 17. In addition to the Grey and Taylor team-ups, Decades includes a guest spot from Dark Divine’s Anthony Martinez, while Outlier appears on bonus track “Fight Like Hell.”
