\n\tHowever, unlike the previous edition of the feat, when the Icelandic band reigned with \u201cLittle Talks\u201d and \u201cMountain Sound\u201d in 2012-13, Of Monsters and Men\u2019s wait between rulers was nearly five years this time, as \u201cOrdinary Creature\u201d follows the coronation of \u201cVisitor\u201d for a week in December 2020.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cVisitor\u201d was released as a standalone single during the COVID-19 pandemic, while \u201cOrdinary Creature\u201d is the lead single from All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, Of Monsters and Men\u2019s first full-length since 2019\u2019s Fever Dream.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn all, Of Monsters and Men now boasts five No. 1s on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. In addition to the four noted above, the band also led with \u201cCrystals\u201d in 2015.<\/p>\n

\n\tConcurrently, \u201cOrdinary Creature\u201d ranks at No. 28 on Alternative Airplay<\/a> (after reaching No. 27). On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay <\/a>chart, the song jumps 25-21 via 1.9 million audience impressions, up 14%, in the week ending Nov. 13, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade was released Oct. 17 on Of Monsters and Men\u2019s own OMAM\/Skarkali Records. It debuted on the Top Current Album Sales chart dated Nov. 1 with 2,000 sold in its first week (ending Oct. 23).<\/p>\n

\n\tAll Billboard charts dated Nov. 22 will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Nov. 18.<\/p>\n
