Of Shinedown’s 14 Rock & Alternative Airplay top 10s, one has so far reached No. 1: “The Crow & the Butterfly,” for four frames in 2010.
A month ago, Shinedown tied Foo Fighters for the most career top 10s on Mainstream Rock Airplay, which began in 1981: 29 apiece. Concurrently, “Daylight” leaps 6-4 on that list, solidifying Shinedown’s streak of each of its entries hitting the top five, dating to its first in 2003. “Daylight” could extend Shinedown’s active streak — currently at seven — of entries of topping the chart, most recently kept intact thanks to “Planet Zero” beginning in March.
In addition to its airplay on mainstream rock radio, “Daylight” debuts at No. 37 on Alternative Airplay.
“Daylight” is the second single from Planet Zero, Shinedown’s seventh studio set, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts dated July 16 and has earned 82,000 equivalent album units to date.
