Which song from Metallica’s The Black Album reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart?

“Nothing Else Matters” reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song is a power ballad from Metallica’s 1991 album and was released as its third single on April 20, 1992. James Hetfield wrote the song after developing a guitar idea while away from the band, and Lars Ulrich later helped shape the arrangement. Its reflective mood and orchestral coloring made it one of Metallica’s most distinctive songs.

“Nothing Else Matters” broadened the public image of a band often associated with aggressive thrash metal. Although it features heavy guitars, its central melody, clean arpeggios, and emotional lyrics made it accessible to listeners who might not normally choose metal.

The UK peak is sometimes confused with the song’s US performance. It reached No. 11 on the US Album Rock Tracks chart, while its UK Singles Chart peak was No. 6.
