Title: Yellowcard Sets Alternative Airplay Record With First No. 1 Song ‘Better Days’
Billboard has confirmed that Yellowcard’s “Better Days” has set a new record on the Alternative Airplay chart, reaching the coveted top spot. This remarkable achievement marks the band’s first-ever entry at number one.
Yellowcard, who have been making waves in the music industry for over two decades, now holds the distinction of having the longest wait between their initial appearance and subsequent number one. Their previous highest charting was “Way Away,” which peaked at No. 25 on the Alternative Airplay chart back in 2003.
The remarkable feat comes as a testament to the band’s perseverance and dedication to producing exceptional music. It is also worth noting that this achievement marks Yellowcard’s return to relevance, with their upcoming album, “Better Days,” set for release on October 10th.
According to Billboard, there have been no less than 10 acts in 2025 alone that have secured their inaugural leader position, a remarkable surge compared to previous years.
