Which Metallica song from The Black Album reached number six in both the UK and Irish charts?

“Nothing Else Matters” reached number six in both the United Kingdom and Ireland from Metallica's The Black Album.

The song is notable within Metallica's catalog because it uses a reflective, orchestral-leaning arrangement rather than the band's usual aggressive subject matter. James Hetfield wrote the lyrics, and the recording became one of the group's most widely recognized songs even though it was initially treated as a personal, non-commercial piece.

It was released as the album's third single, following “Enter Sandman” and “The Unforgiven.” The song's popularity extended beyond metal audiences, helped by its prominent melody, clean guitar opening, and broad emotional tone.

The chart result is sometimes confused with the song's performance in other countries or with the album's number-one chart positions. Number six is the specific peak cited for both the UK and Irish singles charts, while the album itself topped the UK Albums Chart.
