Disturbed, which is singer David Draiman, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist John Moyer, were nominated for their first-ever Grammy Award in the "Best Hard Rock Performance" category for "Inside the Fire" - the lead-off single from the current album, the platinum Indestructible. The track set a record for the longest-running No. 1 in the history of the Active Rock chart when it spent 16 weeks in the top slot. The self-produced Indestructible debuted at Number One on Billboard's Top 200 album chart in June and remained in the Top 10 for five weeks. It is the band's third consecutive Number One album, following their platinum-sellers Believe (2002) and Ten Thousand Fists (2005), making Disturbed one of only six rock bands in history to score three consecutive Number One debuts with studio albums. Formed in Chicago in 1996, Disturbed have sold a collective 10 million albums worldwide.
