The group\u2019s twelfth full-length was released on Friday (April 24), and after its first tracking period has finished, the set will almost surely launch within the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and it could score the Grammy winners another No. 1 on several rock-focused rankings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just before the album Your Favorite Toy was finally unleashed, the song of the same name \u2013 one of several singles pushed from the project \u2013 rises to No. 1 and nearly helps Foo Fighters tie an important and historic chart record.<\/p>\n<p>Foo Fighters\u2019 \u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d Reaches No. 1<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Foo Fighters rule the <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hot-mainstream-rock-tracks\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Mainstream Rock Airplay chart;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Mainstream Rock Airplay chart<\/a>, one of several rosters centered entirely around the most played and most heard tunes at stations that play harder rock formats across the United States. <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Lgy4a0tXz7M\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:\u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">\u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d<\/a> steps up from second place to No. 1 shortly before it reaches two months on the tally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Foo Fighters replace Papa Roach at the summit, as that group\u2019s \u201cWake Up Calling\u201d slips from No. 1 to No. 3. Meanwhile, \u201cDemonic Depression\u201d by Volbeat ascends to a new high of No. 2, separating the two winners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d Becomes the Band\u2019s Sixteenth Leader<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As \u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d commands the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for the first time, it becomes the sixteenth leader for the celebrated rock outfit. The group already claimed the fourth-most champions before this latest leader, and now the musicians are closer to tying for third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Currently, Five Finger Death Punch claims that honor alone with 17 No. 1s. Shinedown continues to lead all acts with 22 chart-topping smashes on the roster. Three Days Grace, which trails by only two rulers, is the only other name with 20 No. 1s or more.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Shinedown Performs At The Kia Forum\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"959\" height=\"637\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/9bc9a30007cf984f4867925fe2d5c889.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA &#8211; AUGUST 03: Brent Smith of Shinedown performs at The Kia Forum on August 03, 2025 in Inglewood, California.

As the track leads the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, it also hits a new high of No. 4, up from seventh place, on the Alternative Airplay rundown. \u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d returns to No. 5, its previously set peak, on the Rock &amp; Alternative Airplay register.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d Slips on the Hot Hard Rock Songs Chart<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The \u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d single takes up space on one additional Billboard ranking, though it does not reach a new peak. In fact, it falls, slipping outside the top 10 as it dips from No. 10 to No. 11 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. That roster looks at the most consumed tunes classified by the company as hard rock, and streams and sales, as well as airplay, are the three metrics that determine where a tune lands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYour Favorite Toy\u201d is one of several singles by Foo Fighters that missed out on running the show by just one spot. Two other classics, \u201cMy Hero\u201d and \u201cMaking a Fire,\u201d stalled in the same rung, while \u201cWaiting on a War,\u201d <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:\u201cEverlong,\u201d;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">\u201cEverlong,\u201d<\/a> and \u201cRescued\u201d did manage to lead the charge.<\/p>\n<p>Foo Fighters\u2019 \u201cEverlong\u201d Holds at No. 1<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Speaking of \u201cEverlong\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s the only other hit by Foo Fighters that appears on a Billboard chart, and it\u2019s enjoying a big week on the two tallies on which it settles. \u201cEverlong\u201d holds at No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally, while simultaneously breaking back onto the Alternative Streaming Songs roster at No. 23.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/foo-fighters-album-rocks-straight-152310853.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:MORE FROM FORBESThe New Foo Fighters Album Rocks Straight To No. 1By Hugh McIntyre;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MORE FROM FORBESThe New Foo Fighters Album Rocks Straight To No. 1By Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/music\/articles\/foo-fighters-album-rocks-straight-152310853.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/c6ae98830cdacb2d044b0bfdc3c732d5.jpeg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This article was originally published on <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/04\/27\/foo-fighters-near-a-historic-chart-record-with-a-new-no-1\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Forbes.com;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Forbes.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In about a week, Foo Fighters will return to multiple Billboard charts with the album Your Favorite Toy.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":756839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[29],"tags":[21199,311315,171,24310,311313,975,67,132,68,311314],"class_list":["post-756838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-billboard","tag-billboard-charts","tag-entertainment","tag-foo-fighters","tag-mainstream-rock-airplay","tag-music","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-your-favorite-toy"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116477320631532937","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=756838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/756839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=756838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=756838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=756838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
