Because technically Rammstein isn't a heavy Metal Band. They are considered New German Hardness (Neue Deutsche Härte) and not Heavy Metal.

@@frimofu5888 most of the band on the top are not heavy metal band

@@frimofu5888 rubbish...Rammstein is a metal band. They are a sub genre metal band just like some of these other bands. They are famous for their heavy guitar riffs. You can ofc cal it Neue Deutsche Härte, but it`s still metal...i don`t know what the reason for not calling it metal should be???

Me too 😢

Industrial Metal = Rammstein

As much as I love seeing some of my most favorite bands in that list, I don't think that internet searches are a good indicator for that. I mean Metallica is the only metal band that really broke into mainstream and is even known by people that don't care about rock music at all, and there's not been a moment in time where they haven't been the most popular metal band since they released the Black album. And to see that Linkin'Park was obviously purposefully excluded from that list, when bands like Korn and Disturbed aren't just shows that this list is rigged anyways. LP is basically the only band from the wider metal genre to ever pose a challenge to Metallica's no.#1 spot.

Это не хэви метал, только iron maiden, judas priest heavy metal 🤘

Yes but it surprise me that Lacuna is the only gothic metal band, that thing was huge back then i think we well see Evanescence or HIM in the list

Right. Maiden. Pantera in the 90's.

Which is a testament to how good they were

Nightwish's never quit the top 10 in 20 years 💪 Amazing 🤟

yes and 5fdp

and BMTH would be top10 when they released Sandpit Turtle for sure, it was all over metal media..

Somethings telling me this videos bullshit

@@klemenskof nobody cared about sempiternal, it badly had 12m views on shadow moses,that was their most popular song back then

@@maneripo Oh that's interesting! so it's still not the metal scene's problem, but humanity and society one, as per usual :D

Amazing isn’t it. A band like them remain relevant all this time. They’re special.

Nightwish y Whitin Temptation

Me sorprende más ver a pantera xD ya que en realidad no han sacado disco desde hace 20 años

Maybe they would be number one, but i think they dont considered as a Heavy Metal Band.

@@Rockeydooky and 80% of this list is not HMB to... but they in list! Rammstein have so heavy songs but they mainstream is industrial! Other band more poppy than Rammstein))

The list is a bit weird indeed. Like Nightwish would be doing Heavy Metal.

It seems the creator, just started with a list of 25 bands he thinks are the most popular, checked their data and disregarded all the other bands. I would assume Mastodon, Tool, Gojira, Periphery, maybe on there as well ... If Arch Enemy is up there ...

Disturbed is bigger than you give them credit for

most overrated metal band ever...

@@heroinflames really? so, whats the most underrated according to you?

@@lokuragames6647 On a wider scale, tons of black, death and progressive metal bands, that are just not mainstreamy enough for their superior musicianship to be recognized. I mean there's a lot to love about Metallica ( I even love Load and Reload, while still holding MoP as one of my top 3 albums of all time). But everything they released since then completely depended on their name recognition to become successful, because the quality of their music certainly was not the cause for that success. I mean just look at Thrash metal bands like Kreator or Testament who have consistently put out better albums than Metallica in the last 20 years, that haven't even an ounce of the success that Metallica had.

@@Eluarelon Thats exacctly what I mean. I dont say that Metallica is a bad Band or that they make bad music. But its like there are tons of bands that make better music than Metallica and no one knows them.

@@heroinflames Well…..if they were better, they’d get known just as Metallica did without Social Media. Metallica are certainly not overrated. They’ve been one of the best for over 40years for a reason. Great Music.

Здесь я согласен)

YEAH! When sabaton appeared in the video, I was like "let's go sabaton 🤘🏼"

@@gatto0009 same, I think I was first introduced to metal and hard rock by bands like Thousand Foot Krutch, Skillet, and Linkin Park, but Disturbed and Sabaton are what fully got me into metal, so they have a special place in my heart. I was watching disturbed the whole time, until I spotted sabaton near the end and tried to split my attention between the 2

It coincide with their release of the "heroes" album!

For me, it Was Christmas Truce

No, that crown belongs to Metallica.

@@markoragnos6757 just for that answer i can tell that you are still a young man,in the Great Metal World.

@@jpmtlhead39 I domt doubt Iron M greatness. I love Led Zappelin and Motor head as well. But I feel Metallica extraordinary reach and connection to fans over 40 something years just edges it as the best adn biggest band in the world.

If you are Over 55 you know why Iron Maiden are the Greasted Heavy Metal,Ever and have the Greastest Fan Base for an Heavy Metal Band. Mate a Band that plays for 250.000 thousand people like they did in 2001 during Rock in Rio just shows how Big this Heavy Metal Band without any Mainstream support (like those guys who sold their soul for Fame and Fortune,and now are trying to going back in time because they know what they did,like the Great Lemmy Kilmister always Said " when you stop playing what you realy like,because some guys told you that you might achive another level of "rewarding" and you accept, that's the true Prostitution",and has Ever he was right. Maiden like Motorhead were Cast away many Times,but always belived in what they where doing was right,but specialy they never Turn their backs on their true and real fans. That's what makes Legends. Iron Maiden without the support of the " make shitty music hits" were able to sell more than 100 million Records,cd's,even cassetes,and Nowadays streams,only that puts Metallica in a very uncomfortable place ( not money wise )that is who is the Real Deal. And they know it,their souls are long gone,but Iron Maiden Soul stills banging,anyday,anytime everywhere,with millions across the world " Scream For Me...". Up The Irons.

Slipknot as well. They fought for first place more than any other band. Korn and slip knot are only beat out by Metallica right now for most listened to metal bands. They’ve been right there especially slipknot to carry that flag easily.

It's always the same ... look what happened to AC/DC after Bon Scott died.... do you think the career would have been the same ... maybe, but not the sales for the Back in Black album ...

Who

Technically Rammstein isn't a heavy Metal Band. They are considered New German Hardness (Neue Deutsche Härte) and not Heavy Metal.

@@frimofu5888 With that logic slipknot and korn are not "Heavy" metal. They are Nu metal. I could also say that BFMV is metalcore, Metallica and Megadeath is Trash metal, Within Temptation is symphonic metal, Lacuna Coil is Gothic Metal, etc etc etc. If we talk about Metal in general Rammstein is industrial Metal and should be in the ranking.

@@cristianlucianodesideri9195 Th-rash metal, not Trash metal. Trash is another word for garbage / rubbish.

It really is 😢

for example Jinjer 🤘

@@rudolfbecker4313 I really expected Jinjer to appear on this chart in 2021

Yeah, that's the sad thing there... I felt like most of the bands shown have been around for at least 15+ years. Are there really no new, good metal bands? Maybe it's just hard for newer bands to become popular.

I believe this is because Helloween has never been a mainstream band, especially outside the European market. In the United States the band is only known in very specific niches and I believe this results in this video. Notice that no other band of the style appears, such as Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Angra etc.

@@brunouchoa1467 Helloween is very big Europe but also in South America and in Japan.

I agree with you, but I believe that the US market has a very large share for the first on the list.

@@brunouchoa1467 Yeah and most people probably misunderstand how much bigger the U.S. market is compared to everyone else. And let's face it, while Helloween has been one of the most beloved bands here in Europe, even their most successful album - Keeper II - only sold 250k units worldwide. A band like Avenged Sevenfold, that barely made the list, sold 1 mio. plus units with each album between City of Evil and Hail to the King in the U.S. alone. At a time when overall sales had already dropped compared to what metal bands achieved in the 80's.

Sadly but power metal never was a big genere outside europe, now sabaton and powerwolf are changing that

But Slipknot only the last 18 years, Metallica and Iron for 40 years that was really incredible

Linkin Park is a joke, nothing to do with metal.

Linkin Park has nothing to do with metal.

Yup

I don't like them but yes

Yh same, it's a shame that a gimmicky band is the main Japanese metal band that has gotten really big in recent years when the country has soo much more to offer

@@rubengardinerart their not really a gimmick anymore.

“Metal”

Based on google searches that's a bit hard since google started around 97/98

Hello! Ma bucur sa vad si români pe aici! Și mie îmi place Nightwish foarte,foarte mult!❤❤❤Pupici!🤗😘😘🥰

@@octavianatalia7684 🥰 si eu ma bucur sa vad romani. 🥰🤟🏻

Is this based off records sold? Surprised to see dt aswell.

@@Heatwave9000 I believe the OP said it was based off of internet searches. But of course, it's only as good as OPs data set - there might be bands with more searches but that OP didn't include in their data collection, for example.

Google searches. Might wanna read the description if you want more information on a video 😆

Or which new platinum or gold thingy is going up on the wall. xD (forgot what its called) xD

What's wrong with these guys

Unrelated but love the name and pfp lol

Well, all of their albums have sold millions. Even though metalheads tend to praise the first four albums, their mainstream success started from the 5th and has been steady ever since.

Not quite, sure the Black Álbum never left the billboard 200 wich helps a lot, but after that massive álbum every álbum they've released has sold millons, including cover albums, Live albums, a movie, Lulu, and massive massive touring since 82', only band to have played 6 continents and ever before antártica they went to places so Hidden that more "hardcore" bands never even tried to go.

Mostly because they weren't extremely popular, they're a decent band but have never been able to measure up to Giants like slipknot, Metallica, system, slayer, Maiden and many others, unfortunately I think they have already hit their peak around 2013 - 2015 and have just been backsliding since

People probably didn't google them that much :😀

Some of these aren't even heavy metal bands

There is no way Tool was included. They would top the list for sure in late 2019, when Fear Inoculum came out.

I hope you listen to other music 😆 ... and Sabaton is the only metal band😂

@@rudolfbecker4313 what is that sarcasm the video is literally about metal bands

@@kingseb2252 just wanted to be sure that you listen to other music. I used to listen to Metal bands a lot, but the last 20 years it got less and less. So what is your favourite Genre?

@@rudolfbecker4313 yeah i listen to all types i love neffex skillet the fat rat etc

Love sabaton too, highly suggest checking out some other bands as well tho cuz they got some really good stuff. I highly recommend powerwolf, they're also a really good power metal band
