Deftones Catch a Brand-New Hit with One of Their Oldest Songs
But here’s the twist: a classic Deftones track resurfaces as a chart-topping moment decades after its release, while the band’s newer project also makes waves. CONCORD, CA – July 6, 2017, captures a live moment as vocalist Chino Moreno performs at Concord Pavilion, photographed by Miikka Skaffari for FilmMagic. Now, in 2025, the band is marking a landmark year by celebrating thirty years since the debut of Adrenaline and dropping Private Music, their first new project in half a decade. The result is a surge of momentum: multiple tracks from Private Music rise on the Billboard charts, and a long-beloved single experiences a fresh ascent.
"My Own Summer (Shove It)" Becomes a Surprise Hit
The band’s 1997 lead single from Around the Fur, “My Own Summer (Shove It),” has suddenly climbed into the spotlight in the United States. It lands at No. 25 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, signaling a renewed interest in this early staple. Across major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal, the track now stands as one of Deftones’ most-streamed hard rock cuts, marking a notable resurgence for a song that fans have carried with them for decades.
A Self-Generated Momentum on the Charts
As Private Music continues to yield successful singles, Deftones also experiences a notable chart reshuffle: “My Own Summer (Shove It)” enters the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list at its current position, while earlier entries like “Change (In the House of Flies)” move up from No. 25 to No. 19, reflecting the band’s ongoing relevance and the fans’ enduring appetite for their catalog.
New Favorites from Private Music Rise
The latest single from Private Music, “Infinite Source,” is gaining traction, especially as radio DJs add it to playlists. It reaches new peaks on both the Rock & Alternative Airplay and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts, achieving top-five status on the latter and high placements on the former. At the same time, “Infinite Source” anchors its position at No. 11 on the Alternative Airplay list and climbs back into the Top 10 of the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.
Three Deftones Tracks on the Hot Hard Rock Songs Chart
Currently, three Deftones tracks appear on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, underscoring the band’s strong presence within the hard rock scene. “Infinite Source” sits prominently, while other Private Music tracks like “My Mind Is a Mountain” and “I Think About You All the Time” also chart, signaling a broad engagement with the new release alongside their classic material.
Around the Fur Returns to the Spotlight
Fans keep returning to Deftones’ earlier albums as the Private Music era continues to connect with new audiences. While the album itself isn’t topping the charts, the singles from the project are driving renewed attention to the band’s early and established catalog. In the United Kingdom, Around the Fur enters the Top Rock Albums chart at No. 24, marking the band’s eighth placement on the rock-specific list.
Across multiple Billboard rankings, Around the Fur hits fresh highs. It appears on Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums with notable showings, as the record asserts its enduring impact on fans and the broader rock landscape. This week also marks a second consecutive appearance on Billboard charts for Around the Fur, following a prior debut on a different chart, which bodes well for continued interest in the band’s classic work.
Two Albums, One Year of Momentum
With Around the Fur climbing and Private Music driving summer radio, Deftones claim two strong positions on major American charts. As the band celebrates three decades since its debut, they demonstrate a rare blend: nostalgia for longtime fans and fresh momentum for a new generation discovering their music. This cross-era success invites fans and critics to reconsider how a collection of tracks—from a legendary debut to a contemporary project—can coexist and thrive on the modern charts.
