The act led the chart 22 years after it first reached Alternative Airplay, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chart-beat\/yellowcard-better-days-new-record-alternative-airplay-chart-1236050046\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">setting a record<\/a> for the longest wait between an initial appearance and reaching No. 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThat record stood until now, as \u201cBedroom Posters\u201d is Good Charlotte\u2019s first leader on any Billboard airplay ranking. The rockers first hit Alternative Airplay in September 2000 with \u201cLittle Things\u201d \u2013\u2013 making it an unprecedented 25 years, seven months and one week between an act\u2019s first appearance on the tally and its first No. 1. (Yellowcard still holds the mark for the longest wait among artists first hitting No. 1 as a lead act.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGood Charlotte cracked the top 10 once prior to \u201cBedroom Posters\u201d with \u201cThe Anthem\u201d in 2003. The band\u2019s highest-charting airplay appearance overall before \u201cBedroom Posters\u201d was \u201cLifestyles of the Rich and the Famous,\u201d a No. 6 hit on Pop Airplay in 2003.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tConcurrently, \u201cBedroom Posters\u201d lifts to No. 20 on the all-rock-format, audience-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/rock-airplay\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rock &amp; Alternative Airplay<\/a> chart with 2 million audience impressions in the week ending April 30, a gain of 7%, according to Luminate. It\u2019s Good Charlotte\u2019s highest-charting song there, having exceeded the No. 34 peak of \u201cRejects\u201d in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cBedroom Posters\u201d premiered sans Good Charlotte on Better Days before the collaborative version arrived Jan. 16. Better Days was released on Oct. 10, 2025 and has earned 31,000 equivalent album units to date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAll Billboard charts dated May 9 will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, May 5.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"c-logo lrv-a-unstyle-link u-display-inline-flex lrv-u-width-100p  u-max-width-100 u-height-26 u-max-width-130px@mobile-max u-margin-t-040@mobile-max\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/\" title=\"Billboard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-tagline  a-font-accent-l@desktop u-font-size-1205 a-font-accent-xs@mobile-max u-font-size-15@mobile-max u-line-height-22px@mobile-max lrv-u-text-align-center@mobile-max u-letter-spacing-0030@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-t-025 lrv-u-margin-a-00 u-padding-t-0125@mobile-max u-padding-b-0063@mobile-max\">Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-link  lrv-a-unstyle-button lrv-u-cursor-pointer lrv-u-display-inline-flex lrv-u-background-color-brand-primary lrv-u-background-color-black:hover lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-color-brand-primary:hover u-padding-lr-0.875 u-padding-tb-10 lrv-u-flex-shrink-0 u-align-items-center a-font-basic-fancy-xs u-margin-t-0.188 u-margin-b-0188 u-margin-b-040@mobile-max\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.billboard.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\tSign Up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yellowcard and Good Charlotte, two mainstays of the 2000s pop-punk scene, team up for the latest No. 1&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[33337,88,9262,216,498],"class_list":["post-618198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-chart-beat","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-rock","tag-music","tag-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
