Papa Roach’s “Braindead,” featuring H2O vocalist Toby Morse, rises two spots to No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart dated Oct. 4.

As the song becomes the Jacoby Shaddix-led Papa Roach’s 12th leader on the list, the group now claims sole possession of the 10th-most No. 1s in the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart’s 44-year history, breaking out of a tie with Volbeat.

Papa Roach first ruled Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2009 with “Lifeline,” nine years after initially reaching the survey with “Last Resort” (No. 4, 2000). Its current No. 1 streak — five in a row — dates to September 2022, when “No Apologies” led for a week.
