Volbeat’s hard-hitting single “Time Will Heal” has climbed to the No. 1 position on U.S. rock charts, marking another impressive achievement for the Danish metal outfit. The track, which previously topped the charts, has demonstrated remarkable staying power in a competitive market, with consistent airplay across U.S. rock radio stations driving its renewed ascent.
According to Pollstar’s active rock chart for the week ending October 25, 2025, “Time Will Heal” secured the No. 2 position in total spins, trailing the top spot by merely two spins. This razor-thin margin highlights the song’s enduring popularity among American rock audiences and radio programmers alike, who continue to embrace the band’s distinctive sound months after the single’s initial release.
Volbeat’s “Time Will Heal” captures the No. 2 spot with remarkable closeness to first place, showcasing its enduring appeal on U.S. rock radio.
Released on May 16, 2025, “Time Will Heal” serves as the third single from Volbeat‘s ninth studio album, “God Of Angels Trust,” which hit shelves on June 6, 2025. The album itself has achieved considerable international success, reaching No. 1 in multiple European markets and Canada, while continuing to perform strongly in the United States. The band has smartly negotiated sync deals to place tracks from the album in popular video games and television shows, significantly expanding their audience reach.
The track embodies frontman Michael Poulsen’s intensely personal reflections on resilience and emotional endurance. “This song came from a very real place,” Poulsen noted in earlier interviews, discussing the universal themes of overcoming adversity that permeate the lyrics. The track’s poignant message about coping with loss resonates deeply with fans who have experienced similar emotional struggles. The band’s approach to live studio recording helped capture the raw emotional energy that makes the song so impactful. The band has also leveraged social media advertising to maintain momentum for the single, creating consistent, eye-catching content that keeps fans engaged across platforms. The mid-tempo anthem maintains Volbeat’s signature blend of melodic rock and metal elements, with crisp production enhancing its radio appeal.
The single’s renewed chart success coincides with Volbeat’s ambitious “Greatest of All Tours Worldwide” tour, which encompasses 70 dates between June and November 2025. The accompanying music video, featuring performance footage interspersed with visually striking imagery, has further bolstered the song’s visibility across platforms.
With “Time Will Heal” demonstrating such remarkable longevity on U.S. airwaves, Volbeat continues to solidify their position as one of the most successful European rock acts to break through in the American market this decade.
