Skillet First Christian Band To Hit No. 1 On Mainstream Rock Chart As "Feel Invincible"

Multi-platinum selling rockers Skillet are celebrating their first #1 single on the Mainstream Rock Chart with their hit “Feel Invincible” off their latest project, Unleashed. The track marks the band’s sixth Top 10 single at mainstream rock radio, and sets them apart as the first act from the Christian genre to top the chart.


Previously, "Awake and Alive" from 2009's AWAKE climbed to #1 on Billboard's Active Rock chart, along with “Monster,” “Not Gonna Die,” “Sick of It” and “It’s Not Me It’s You” all reaching top 10 or higher there as well.

“Feel Invincible” has also been a hit in the sports world, having been used by the NFL's Monday Night Football, Major League Baseball (MLB), National Hockey League (NHL), WWE during their Battleground Pay-Per-View, TBS’ E-League and Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Sports Awards. The No. 1 song was also chosen by the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for use throughout the entire 2016 football season. The song has been the soundtrack for the opening video montage leading into each week’s syndicated game reaching over 90 million TV households. This is the second time that Skillet and the ACC Network have teamed up. "Feel Invincible" has also been featured in Rock Band, while the video for the single has already been viewed over 17 million times and can be seen here.


Additionally, another track from Unleashed, “Back from the Dead” was featured in WWE’s 2017 launch trailer for the WWE2K17 video game, which released on October 11th.
