Megadeth Stumbles at iTunes' Top Spot, Blocked by Bruno Mars' Sizzling New Single "I Just Might"
As metal fans bid farewell to the legendary band Megadeth with its 17th and final full-length album, titled after itself, which drops on January 23, longtime supporters are gathering in droves to support the musicians and each song shared from the upcoming album. However, it seems that this farewell won't be as grand as expected, as the band's latest single "Puppet Parade" narrowly misses taking the top spot at iTunes, held firmly by Bruno Mars' scorching new single "I Just Might".
Released just a week ago, "I Just Might", which introduces Mars' upcoming album The Romantic due next month, has been storming the charts, selling extremely well since its release. With a star-studded collaboration between Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, Reba McEntire, and Miley Cyrus on her reimagined single "Light of a Clear Blue Morning", which raises funds for a children's hospital, Mars' track seems almost unbeatable.
"Megadeth" has already delivered four singles from its album, with the latest being "Puppet Parade". Following the release of "Tipping Point", "I Don't Care", and "Let There Be Shred", all three previous Megadeth tracks became fast-bestselling successes on iTunes. However, it seems that this reign might be coming to an end.
The band's impressive sales record is undeniable, with all three previously shared singles landing in the top 10 of Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. In fact, only a handful of hits from Megadeth have achieved this feat over the years, and it appears that "Puppet Parade" might join their ranks.
With its latest single narrowly missing the top spot at iTunes, it seems that Megadeth is facing an uncertain future. Will "Puppet Parade" manage to debut in the sales tally? Only time will tell if the band's farewell album will find a way to climb to No. 1 after all.

I feel like a puzzle piece not fitting in place 
... Megadeth's new single "Puppet Parade" is close, but what happened to their reign at iTunes? 
They've had an amazing run with their singles selling super well and making it to the top 10 of Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart 
But now I'm a bit worried, especially since Bruno Mars' new track "I Just Might" is absolutely crushing the charts 
It's got an amazing collab with Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah 
Fingers crossed for Megadeth! 
... wait, no it's not! 
I mean, have you seen the album artwork of Megadeth's farewell album? That's some next-level heavy metal artwork right there 
. Bruno Mars' album cover looks like something a 90s boy band would come up with 
... but for real though, can't we just love Megadeth and Bruno Mars at the same time? 
come on guys!!! megadeth has been around for what feels like forever and this is how they're going out?? one single that almost gets knocked off by bruno mars' new track... don't get me wrong, i love bruno's music too but you can't compare the two. megadeth is a metal institution 
. it's not even fair that "puppet parade" didn't take the top spot 
. i mean, we're going to miss megadeth for real this time... but hey, at least dolly parton and queen latifah are still kicking 
.
Don't get me wrong, I love a good pop song, but where's the depth? 
. It's like they're speaking a different language or something 
. How can an album from Megadeth compete with that?
. Maybe this means they'll make a comeback? Stranger things have happened, right? 
same thing with rush when they announced their final tour... it felt like everyone was gonna miss out on their live show 
. will megadeth's album even make it to no 1? only time'll tell, but i'm still hyped for this farewell album 
. I mean, I love Mars and his smooth vibes, but can't we just let Megadeth have their moment in the spotlight? It's like they're trying to put on a puppet show (get it?) with "Puppet Parade"... anywayz, gotta give props to Megadeth for still killing it after all these years 
. Maybe their farewell album will surprise us and rock our world 
. The fact that it's got a star-studded collab and is raising funds for a children's hospital? That's just too cool 
. I'm definitely gonna give Megadeth's new album a listen, but I gotta say, Mars' track is giving me major vibes 
. Can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings! 
I love how they're still pushing out music even though it's their last full-length album. Bruno Mars is cool and all, but can't he just let Megadeth have the spotlight for once? 
Like, I know "I Just Might" is catchy and all, but can't we appreciate some good ol' heavy metal for once? 
. I've got to support them in this last farewell tour of theirs. 
Fingers crossed "Puppet Parade" will do well and make up for the loss at iTunes 
That song is seriously giving off some retro vibes with Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, Reba McEntire, and Miley Cyrus on the collaboration. It's not surprising that it's doing so well. Megadeth has always been about more than just their music - they're also about community and creating a loyal following. Maybe this is just a bump in the road for them? 
Either way, I'm definitely gonna give "Puppet Parade" a spin...
anyway back to megadeth and bruno mars idk whats going on but its kinda cool that dolly parton is involved in some sorta charity thingy maybe ill check out bruno's new album
