Foo Fighters have achieved their 13th number one on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with their single "Asking for a Friend." This latest hit secured the top position with 5.7 million audience impressions in the week ending November 20th. This success underscores the band's enduring popularity and their consistent ability to produce chart-topping music.
The track "Asking for a Friend" follows the eight-week reign of their previous single, "Today's Song," which itself was preceded by Sublime's "Ensenada." This marks the first number one for the band with their new drummer, Ilan Rubin, who joined in July. The band now holds the record for the most number ones on this specific chart since its inception in 2009.
In addition to leading the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, "Asking for a Friend" is also performing strongly on other genre-specific charts, including Mainstream Rock Airplay and Alternative Airplay. The song was released as a standalone single alongside the announcement of Foo Fighters' upcoming stadium tour, slated for next summer, further building anticipation for their future endeavors.
