Daughtry is No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for the third time, as “The Bottom” is now at the top of the survey dated Feb. 28.

The song, up four spots, follows a pair of reigns by the Chris Daughtry-fronted band in 2024, with “Artificial” (that February) and “Pieces” (September).

In between “Pieces” and “The Bottom,” Daughtry reached the chart with “The Dam,” which peaked at No. 7 in 2025, marking one of the act’s eight top 10s.

“Artificial” followed a 17-year run of appearances for the group that began with “It’s Not Over,” its debut single following the frontman’s fourth-place finish on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006. Three of those songs charted in 2007, with the band then experiencing a nearly 13-year respite before returning via “World on Fire” in 2020. In between, Daughtry was more of a presence on pop radio; the band boasts 16 career Adult Pop Airplay appearances, including four No. 1s among nine top 10s.

Daughtry himself has four Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1s. In addition to the band’s three leaders, he also visited the top spot as a featured vocalist on Nothing More’s “Freefall” for two weeks last August.

Concurrently, “The Bottom” soars 22-14 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.5 million audience impressions in the week ending Feb. 19, a surge of 36%, according to Luminate.

“The Bottom” is the lead single from Daughtry’s Shock to the System (Part Two), released in September as the follow-up to 2024’s first edition. The set debuted at No. 40 on the Top Album Sales chart and has earned 15,000 equivalent album units to date.
