Seether’s “Walls Come Down” jumps into the top 10 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, … [+]
The top 10 on this week’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart features several new entrants. A trio of tunes enter the competitive space on Billboard’s radio roster for the first time, and they’re led by one of the most successful acts in the tally’s history.
Seether earns the loftiest new top 10 hit this time around on the Mainstream Rock Airplay ranking. Coincidentally, all three just-arrived popular songs appear side by side. The group jumps into the uppermost space with “Walls Come Down,” the latest single taken from the album The Surface Seems So Far, which dropped last fall.
“Walls Come Down” establishes a new peak at No. 8 on the latest edition of the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Last week, it sat down at No. 11, and as it ascends, it gives Seether yet another top 10 smash—something the group is used to accumulating.
Seether has now collected 26 top 10s on the Mainstream Rock Airplay roster, which tracks the most successful tunes across all radio stations in the U.S. that focus on playing “mainstream” rock, which sounds heavier than most other forms of the style. That’s one of the greatest collections of wins on the tally of all time.
Current Grammy nominee Poppy follows Seether’s lead, experiencing the same kind of increase on the same chart. Her single “New Way Out” pushes from No. 12 to No. 9.
Two acts close out the top 10 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay ranking, following Seether and Poppy. Dead Poets Society and The Warning’s “Hurt” lifts four spaces to settle at No. 10 this period, becoming a proper radio smash.
Seether’s “Walls Come Down” is finally earning its due on the charts, months after the band propelled it to single status. As it becomes a top 10 smash on the Mainstream Rock Airplay ranking, the tune lifts to a new high of No. 21 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay list.
“Walls Come Down” is also succeeding beyond radio play. Seether’s current focus debuts at No. 20 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, which uses a methodology that combines airplay with both streams and sales. On that tally, the group has now snagged eight hits, including this latest win.
