STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis’s controversial new song, “Am I The Only One”, hit number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after posting first-week sales of 59,300 units.
The song, which which Lewis wrote with Ira Dean and Jeffrey Steele, also topped Billboard’s airplay-, sales- and streaming-based Hot Country Songs chart (dated July 17). It opened on top of Country Digital Song Sales and at No. 2 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales ranking. “Am I The Only One” also drew 4 million U.S. streams in the tracking week.
“Am I The Only One” finds the STAIND singer asking if he is the only one fed up with the state of the U.S.A. right now, featuring lyrics like: “Am I the only one, who can’t take no more, screaming, ‘If you don’t like it there’s the fucking door.’ It’s not the freedom we’ve been fightin’ for. It was somethin’ more, yeah, it was somethin’ more.’
