Bad Omens<\/span> complete their quickest trip to No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Mainstream Rock Airplay<\/span> chart, topping the Oct. 18-dated survey with \u201cSpecter,\u201d which rises two spots to become the band\u2019s second leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecter\u201d rules the tally in its eighth week, far surpassing the 27 frames it took the band\u2019s previous leader, \u201cJust Pretend,\u201d to reign in 2023. (That 27-week run to No. 1 remains the sixth-longest in the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart\u2019s 44-year history.)<\/p>\n

In between \u201cJust Pretend\u201d and \u201cSpecter,\u201d Bad Omens reached Mainstream Rock Airplay twice, peaking at No. 2 in 2023 with \u201cThe Death of Peace of Mind\u201d and No. 9 in 2024 with its Poppy<\/span> collaboration \u201cV.A.N.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Richmond, Va., band first appeared on Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2020 with \u201cLimits,\u201d which reached No. 19, and initially reached the top 10 in 2022 with the No. 10-peaking \u201cLike a Villain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concurrently, \u201cSpecter\u201d climbs 19-15 on Alternative Airplay<\/span>. On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay<\/span> chart, the song bullets at its No. 3 best with 4.1 million audience impressions in the week ending Oct. 9, up 10%, according to Luminate.

\u201cSpecter\u201d ranked at No. 2 on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs<\/span> list (dated Oct. 11, reflecting data accumulated Sept. 26-Oct. 2), after spending two weeks at No. 1.
