Twenty One Pilots Tie Record with Linkin Park

0:00On April 30th, 21 pilots just snagged another number one on Billboard's alternative airplay chart with their track, drag path, jumping, straight from number 3 to the top spot. This marks their 14th leader on the list, tying them with Lincoln Park for second place all time while they lead past Cage the Elephant and Green Day who sit at 13 each. Red Hot Chili Peppers still hold the record with 15. The song started as a limited release but blew up on TikTok, leading the duo to add it to an extended version of their album Breach and push it as a single. Their first chart topper was stressed out back in November 2015 and a few others like Heathens and level of concern ruled for 10 weeks or more. Fans in the industry are buzzing because 21 pilots keep dominating alternative radio with 2025 being huge, three number ones. From the line, the contract, and city walls all in quick succession. This first win of 2026 shows they're not slowing down after building a massive legacy.

1:01Out of 24 songs that have charted, 21 hit the top 10 and even the ones that didn't reach number 1 peak super close, like number, two spots for several. It's a testament to Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunne's consistent radio grip. With the record just won away from Red Hot Chili Peppers, expect 21 pilots to keep climbing as more singles drop and their fan base grows.
