Creed has finally reached the top of Billboard’s Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart with their 2002 hit “One Last Breath.” The track climbed from No. 3 to No. 1, marking the band’s first-ever chart-topping achievement on this list, over two decades after its release.

Creed’s Resurgence: Chart Success and Enduring Hits

In addition to this milestone, Creed’s earlier hit “Higher” from 1999 has also gained traction. In February 2024, “Higher” debuted on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, proving the enduring appeal of Creed’s catalog. The song recently reached a new peak at No. 12, bringing it closer to breaking into the top 10. Its slow but steady climb highlights the resurgence of interest in the band’s music among both longtime fans and newer listeners.

Beyond streaming success, “One Last Breath” is also performing well on other Billboard charts. It currently holds the No. 1 position on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it has remained steady for several weeks. This dual-chart success underscores the song’s impact and how it continues to resonate with audiences over 20 years after its initial release.

Creed’s Timeless Influence and Resurgence

Creed’s music has often been polarizing, with the band experiencing both immense popularity and critical scrutiny during their peak years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Despite this, their fans have remained loyal, and the band’s influence on the post-grunge era of rock music is undeniable. Songs like “One Last Breath” and “Higher” have stood the test of time, showcasing Creed’s ability to connect emotionally with their audience.

As of now, “One Last Breath” has topped the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart for four consecutive weeks, a significant achievement for a track released over two decades ago. This unexpected resurgence demonstrates the timeless nature of Creed’s music and its ability to find new life in today’s digital era.
