Audioslave’s “LIKE A STONE” hits the top 10!! 21 years after it’s release, “Like A Stone” climbed to No. 10 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart—the highest Audioslave has ever been on that list. The song also has over 1.3 billion views on YouTube. I know Chris Cornell would be very proud.
