Foo Fighters Break A Tie With One Of The Biggest Bands In Rock Music

Less than a month after Foo Fighters released a new single titled simply “Today’s Song,” the track has already proven itself to be a big hit. The cut arrived in early July as a standalone release and quickly climbed the Billboard charts, giving the legendary rock outfit another win. As “Today’s Song” continues to rise, the band breaks an important tie and claims a new historic first.

Foo Fighters Make History With “Today’s Song”

On the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart this week, “Today’s Song” bolts into the top 10. The track surges from No. 24 to No. 10, entering the highest tier for the first time just three weeks into its lifespan. Foo Fighters have now scored 33 top 10 smashes on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart — an all-time record among all artists.

Foo Fighters Break a Tie

Before “Today’s Song” reached the top 10, Foo Fighters were tied with Shinedown for the most appearances inside the highest tier of the Mainstream Rock Airplay ranking. Shinedown is steady with 32 placements, but that number could change at any point, and the group may soon tie Foo Fighters once again. Another rock act, Five Finger Death Punch, isn’t far behind, with 31 top 10 hits to its credit.

Radio Dominance for “Today’s Song”

“Today’s Song” is turning out to be quite the radio smash in the rock world. The Foo Fighters track soars into the top 10 on both the Mainstream Rock Airplay and Alternative Airplay charts, while also jumping from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay list. This week, the tune also debuts on the Adult Alternative Airplay ranking, coming in at No. 32.

Foo Fighters already claim the most No. 1s of all time on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart and the most top 10 smashes on the Alternative Airplay list. With “Today’s Song,” the group further extends its lead over all other acts in these regards.
