Foo Fighters have two of their biggest songs back on the Billboard charts following the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in London on September 3.

The two songs in question are "Everlong" and "My Hero," which have re-entered four different Billboard charts. Each of the four charts are determined by a combination of audio/video streams, radio airplay and sales data. The biggest success for both tracks is on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart with "Everlong" coming in at number one and "My Hero" coming in at number three.

Next, "Everlong" and "My Hero" came in at numbers nine and 14, respectively, on the Hot Alternative Songs chart. On the Hot Rock Songs chart, "Everlong" came in at number 11, while "My Hero" came in at number 18. Lastly, on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, "Everlong" came in at number 13, and "My Hero" came in at number 21.

The potential of more Foo Fighters songs entering these charts is rather great. The band is releasing a new retrospective collection, The Essential Foo Fighters, on October 28. Additionally, the second Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert is taking place September 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. A number of the same names that performed at the London show will also appear at the L.A. show. Some notable different musicians appearing at the L.A. show include Sebastian Bach, Geezer Butler, Phil Collen, Joe Elliott, Joan Jett, Alanis Morissette, Krist Novoselic, P!nk, LeAnn Rimes, Gene Simmons, Nikki Sixx, Chad Smith, Brad Wilk and Nancy Wilson.

As of publishing, there hasn't been any announcement about the L.A. show streaming anywhere.

In memory of the first anniversary of the passing of Taylor Hawkins on March 25, we're looking back on the two tribute concerts organized by the Foo Fighters. The London and Los Angeles shows were incredible events full of light and love. They were reflections of Hawkins, himself. Foo fans the world over will forever miss and remember one incredible drummer and ambassador for rock music.

We send our thoughts to the family and friends of Taylor Hawkins on this anniversary and every day they miss the unique force he was.


The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert at London's Wembley Stadium on Saturday, September 3 will likely go down as one of the most emotional and cathartic moments in rock in 2022.

The stacked bill featured some of the late Foo Fighters drummer's best friends, biggest influences and peers. Combined, those artists delivered an incredible six-hour show. It's one the thousands in attendance and those watching around the world won't soon forget. The Foo Fighters, themselves, delivered an incredible set where they were joined by a number of different drummers. Among them were Josh Freese, Travis Barker, Nandi Bushell, Rufus Taylor and Shane Hawkins, Taylor's 16-year-old son. If that weren't enough, Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance, too.

Preceding the Foos' set was an all-star lineup of performers that included Queen, Rush's Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Stewart Copeland, Brian Johnson, Lars Ulrich, Mark Ronson, Violet Grohl, The James Gang, The Pretenders, Them Crooked Vultures, Supergrass and more.
