Three Days Grace breaks record for most #1 Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs
/Three Days Grace, the internationally acclaimed and multi- platinum certified Canadian band with over a billion streams on Spotify, has made history with their 14th #1 single on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, “Infra-Red.” With this latest achievement, the band has broken Van Halen's two-decade record of topping the Billboard chart. “Infra-Red" is featured on Outsider, their sixth full-length album and fifth consecutive charting Top 40 debut on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. Additionally, the song is the 15th #1 single on Mediabase Active Rock Chart.
Said drummer Neil Sanderson about the latest record: “If you had told me when we were 14 and making noise in our garage that someday we’d set the record for most #1 rock songs in America, I would’ve called you bat-shit crazy!! Accomplishments like this are never done individually. We want to thank our family who’s supported us from day one, rock radio who get our music to the masses, our label and friends in the industry for believing in the band, and MOST importantly all our loyal fans on this amazing journey with us.”
