Limp Bizkit’s ‘Making Love to Morgan Wallen’ Tops Multiple Billboard Charts

Limp Bizkit is back at No. 1 on a Billboard chart for the first time since 2011. That’s thanks to the Fred Durst-fronted band’s newest song, “Making Love to Morgan Wallen,” which bows atop multiple tallies dated Sept. 27, paced by its No. 1 premiere on Hot Hard Rock Songs.

Released Sept. 12, the song drew 2.6 million official U.S. streams and 639,000 radio audience impressions and sold 2,000 downloads in the week ending Sept. 18, according to Luminate.

Those metrics send the song to the top of the multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart for Limp Bizkit’s first No. 1 since the survey began in 2020; the band’s previous best, “Dad Vibes,” hit No. 6 in 2021.

The “deliciously weird” “Making Love to Morgan Wallen” also begins at No. 1 on Alternative Digital Song Sales and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales, the group’s first ruler on both rankings.

Limp Bizkit had last topped a Billboard chart in 2011, when Gold Cobra led Top Hard Rock Albums. On songs-based charts, the band’s “Re-Arranged” became what’s to date Limp Bizkit’s only radio No. 1, leading Alternative Airplay for a week in 1999.

“Making Love to Morgan Wallen” is currently building beneath the 40-position Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The band boasts 14 entries on the ranking since 1999, paced by the No. 4-peaking “My Way” in 2001.

The new single is currently not tied to a Limp Bizkit album. The band’s most recent collection, Still Sucks, reached No. 7 on Top Hard Rock Albums in 2021.
