\n\tMumford & Sons<\/a> and Hozier<\/a>\u2019s \u201cRubber Band Man\u201d completes a speedy four-week trip to No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Adult Alternative Airplay<\/a> chart, rocketing six spots to the top of the Nov. 29-dated list.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe collaboration completes the fastest rise to No. 1 since The Black Keys<\/a>\u2019 \u201cBeautiful People (Stay High)\u201d took four frames to reign in February 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tHozier earns his quickest coronation, exceeding the five weeks it took for his \u201cToo Sweet\u201d last year and the Mavis Staples<\/a>-featuring \u201cNina Cried Power\u201d in 2018. As for Mumford & Sons\u2019 best, \u201cI Will Wait\u201d and \u201cBelieve\u201d each needed only three weeks to lead in 2012 and 2015, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tHozier now boasts eight No. 1s. Mumford & Sons nab their sixth.<\/p>\n

\n\tMost No. 1s, Adult Alternative Airplay:
14, U2
13, Coldplay
11, Dave Matthews (solo and with Dave Matthews Band)
11, Jack Johnson
9, The Black Keys
8, Death Cab for Cutie
8, Hozier
8, John Mayer
8, The Lumineers<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRubber Band Man\u201d is Hozier\u2019s sixth No. 1 in a row, tying him with U2<\/a> for the longest streak in the chart\u2019s nearly 30-year history. His run began in 2023 with \u201cEat Your Young.\u201d U2 linked its six straight leaders in 2001-05.<\/p>\n

\n\tMumford & Sons last topped Adult Alternative Airplay with their Pharrell Williams<\/a> collaboration \u201cGood People\u201d in April 2024. (In between, they hit Nos. 2 and 3 with \u201cRushmere\u201d and \u201cCaroline,\u201d respectively.)<\/p>\n

\n\tConcurrently, \u201cRubber Band Man\u201d leaps 16-10 on Alternative Airplay<\/a>, becoming Mumford & Sons\u2019 12th top 10 and Hozier\u2019s third. On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay<\/a> chart, the song holds at its No. 7 best with 3.6 million audience impressions in the week ending Nov. 20, a gain of 7%, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe track placed at No. 28 on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs<\/a> tally (dated Nov. 22, reflecting data Nov. 7-13). In addition to its radio airplay, it drew 1.6 million official U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads in that span.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRubber Band Man\u201d is the lead single from Prizefighter, Mumford & Sons\u2019 sixth studio album, due Feb. 13, 2026. Their LP Rushmere debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart this April and has earned 98,000 equivalent album units to date.<\/p>\n
