After winning his first No. 1 Bulletin boardOn the Alternative Airplay chart over two decades earlier this year, Sum 41 scores another as “Dopamine” moves up one spot to No. 1 in the November 30 survey.

The song follows the two-week Alternative Airplay mandate for “Landmines” in March. The latter led 22 years, five months and three weeks after the first No. 1 on Sum 41, “Fat Lip”, in August 2001, rewriting the record for the longest hiatus between rulers for an act in the chart's 36-year history.

Meanwhile, when “Dopamine” reached the Alternative Airplay top 10 in September, Sum 41 reached two top 10s in a single year for the first time since 2001, when both “Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep” (No. 10) arrived in the area.

At the same time, “Dopamine” ranks No. 9 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart by audience with 3.2 million audience impressions from Nov. 15-21, according to Luminate. It reached a No. 6 high a week earlier.
