Foo Fighters assume sole possession of the fourth-most No. 1s in the 44-year history of Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, claiming the top spot on the Dec. 6-dated survey with “Asking for a Friend.”
The Dave Grohl-led band snags its 15th No. 1 on the tally, breaking out of a tie with Metallica.
“Asking for a Friend” takes over No. 1 from Five Finger Death Punch, who’s, incidentally, the next act in Foo Fighters’ sights on the all-time leaderboard, as “The End” became the rockers’ 17th ruler.
Most No. 1s, Mainstream Rock Airplay: 21, Shinedown 19, Three Days Grace 17, Five Finger Death Punch 15, Foo Fighters 14, Metallica 13, Disturbed 13, Godsmack 13, Linkin Park 13, Van Halen
With “Asking for a Friend,” Foo Fighters earn their first No. 1 since “The Glass” reigned for a week
