Foo Fighters Break Their Tie With Metallica And Van Halen…

The Foo Fighters are still promoting their most recent album But Here We Are, and the people obviously aren’t tired of it yet. The set was released in June 2023, and many months later, it continues to produce big hits. This week, the project’s latest single rises to No. 1 on a chart the band has conquered many times in the past, and this latest win helps them break a tie with two other beloved groups in the genre.

“The Glass” by the Foo Fighters jumps to No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart this week. The ranking measures the top-performing tracks across a number of radio stations throughout the U.S. that focus on what’s known as “mainstream” rock, which tends to skew a bit harder–but not exclusively.

This frame, “The Glass” rises from No. 3 to the highest rung on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, reaching the summit for the first time. The tune replaces Pearl Jam’s “Dark Matter” at No. 1. That single has been running the show for four weeks–an impressive showing, considering the fact that it has now spent just eight turns anywhere on the tally.

“The Glass” marks the fourteenth trip to the summit on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for the Foo Fighters. That’s one of the greatest accumulations of leaders of all time on the ranking, and this latest smash helps them pass a pair of fellow beloved rock bands.

With a fourteenth No. 1, the Foo Fighters break their tie with both Metallica and Van Halen, according to Billboard. Both of those rock bands have accrued 13 champions on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart throughout their years together.

The Foo Fighters are now tied with Five Finger Death Punch for the third-most No. 1s in the ranking’s history. Shinedown has landed 19 leaders on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart–the most among all acts. Three Days Grace appears in second place with 17 No. 1 hits.
