The band's third studio album has re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 198, according to the latest chart information provided. The album previously reached No. 1 and spent 71 weeks on the chart. Its return comes as Staind prepares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the record with a new live project and a major tour later this year.
The album's return to the Billboard 200 is also happening as Staind prepares to perform the record live for its upcoming Break the Cycle (25th Anniversary Live) project. The band has released another live video from the project, featuring a performance of "Fade."
The anniversary release is set for Aug. 21, giving fans a chance to hear the classic album performed live as the band marks 25 years since its original arrival.

The album opened with more than 700,000 copies sold in its first week, according to the provided background information. It also sold more than one million copies during its first three weeks.
The success of Break the Cycle helped establish Staind as one of the defining rock bands of the early 2000s. The group had formed in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1995, with Aaron Lewis on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Mike Mushok on lead guitar, Johnny April on bass and backing vocals, and Jon Wysocki on drums.
That mix helped the album reach listeners beyond the heavier alternative metal audience. The record went on to become a major international hit, reaching No. 1 on album charts in several countries and earning strong chart positions in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada.
The album also ranked No. 7 on the 2001 year-end Billboard 200 chart and No. 41 on the Billboard 200 decade-end chart covering 2000 through 2009.
Staind Celebrates 25 Years of Its Breakthrough Rock Album
The chart re-entry comes at an important time for Staind. The band is preparing a series of performances tied to the 25th anniversary of Break the Cycle.
The scheduled shows include performances in Connecticut, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ontario, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, Utah, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
The timing of the album's Billboard 200 return gives the anniversary campaign another chart milestone. It also brings renewed attention to one of the band's biggest releases at the same time that Staind is revisiting the music onstage.
The record's five singles helped keep the album visible long after its initial release. "It's Been Awhile" became the biggest mainstream success from the project, while "Fade," "Outside," "For You" and "Epiphany" gave fans several other songs from the album to connect with.
Staind has released eight studio albums in total, with Confessions of the Fallen arriving in 2023. The band also experienced changes over the years, including the 2011 departure of founding drummer Jon Wysocki. Wysocki died in 2024 at age 53.
The band's latest chart appearance follows the renewed attention around its back catalog and its anniversary plans. With Break the Cycle now back on the Billboard 200, Staind has returned to a chart it once ruled with the album that changed the course of its career.
