The Warning notches a record-setting No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart dated Sept. 5, with “Kerosene” rising to the top of the survey.

1: “S!ck,” in 2024, and Dead Poet Society’s “Hurt,” on which the band is featured, last year. Concurrently, “Kerosene” jumps 10-6 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.

3 million audience impressions in the week ending Aug. 27, up 7% week over week, according to Luminate.

The song also hit the top 10 for the first time on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Aug. 29, reflecting data tracked Aug.

14-20). In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 255,000 chart-eligible streams in the United States.
