Depending on what definition you'd like to use, Audioslave were either a supergroup or Rage Against the Machine with a new singer. It's members were Chris Cornell from Soundgarden and Tim Commerford, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk from Rage Against the Machine.
They were more popular at the time than their Top 40 career might suggest. Their Top 40 debut "Cochise" made number 29 in 2003 and then this was their only other Top 40 hit. This record is arguably the better known of the two.
As its members came from bands from the early 90s the fans of Audioslave were more likely to be over a certain age. Whilst in theory anyone can go and buy a CD single, it's often been the acts the youngsters like that have succeeded in the Top 40.
These days the evidence of the popularity of this record is the hundreds of millions of views it's got on YouTube.
