Rock Feed shared a report on how Ronnie Radke fronted metal band Falling In Reverse have more than double the monthly Spotify listeners of Sleep Token after the release of their new song, “Joseph,” featuring Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian, and Radke reacted to the report in the comment section.
According to Rock Feed, “Falling In Reverse now have more than double the monthly Spotify listeners of Sleep Token. As of Wednesday, Falling In Reverse sit at 10,746,609 monthly listeners on Spotify, against 5,068,795 for Sleep Token. The jump comes with ‘Joseph,’ the band’s new single featuring Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian, which debuted at No. 51 on Spotify’s global chart with 1.8 million first-day streams and has since passed 11 million plays.”
“‘Joseph’ is Falling In Reverse’s first new single in over a year, and the first time Taylor and Tankian have appeared on a song together. Back in July 2025, Ronnie Radke wrote on X that ‘I out stream and sell both of them,’ talking about Sleep Token and Ghost.”
A fan commented: “Its literally just because of Corey and Serj.”
Another fan commented: “Numbers are inflated. They will peak and drop. Sleep Token’s music is better quality so IDGAF.”
Ronnie Radke reacted to the news report and fans’ reaction in the comment section: “Arguing over this in the comments is so embarrassing, my God. Who gives a f* hahaha.”
The numbers behind that comment section argument trace back to a single release, and the timeline of “Joseph” helps explain why the listener gap widened so quickly.
“Joseph” arrived on Sept. 14, 2026, and pairs Falling In Reverse with Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian on one track for the first time. The song also marked the band’s first new music in over a year, ending a quiet stretch for the group.
The single moved quickly on the charts as well. “Joseph” debuted at No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart for the Sept. 26-dated list, giving Falling In Reverse its seventh ruler on that ranking. Billboard noted the song reached the top despite only a partial week of tracking data because it was released on Sept. 14.
Sleep Token’s side of the comparison rests on a very different kind of rise. The band built its profile around secrecy, performing masked and without interviews, while still landing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with “Even in Arcadia” in 2025. That same year, Sleep Token headlined major festivals and sold out a North American arena tour.
Those milestones sit behind the fan argument Radke dismissed, and his own history of comparing the two acts has kept the debate alive. In July 2025, he wrote on X that “I out stream and sell both of them,” referring to Sleep Token and Ghost, a remark that resurfaced once the new streaming figures were published.
Radke’s response to the comment section fit the same pattern of public back-and-forth that has followed him across social media. Rather than defending the numbers or engaging with the criticism, he framed the entire exchange as not worth the effort: “Arguing over this in the comments is so embarrassing, my God. Who gives a f* hahaha.”
