Bring Me the Horizon marks a record fifth No.1 Advertising signHot Hard Rock Songs chart as “Kool-Aid” bows atop January 20 survey. The song debuts with 2.4 million official US streams and 2,000 downloads sold from January 5-11, according to Luminate.
The track is the rockers' first release with Oli Sykes following the departure of longtime keyboardist Jordan Fish, who was also one of the band's main songwriters and producers.
With five No. 1s, Bring Me the Horizon moves away from a tie with Falling in Reverse for the most in the short history of Hot Hard Rock Songs, which began in June 2020. It's the band's first top-charter from the trio of the leaders in 2020: “Parasite Eve”, “Obey” (with Yungblud) and “Teardrops”. In 2023, the band fronted as featured on Lil Uzi Vert's “Werewolf.”
At the same time, “Kool-Aid” opens at Nos. 14, 20 and 25 on Hot Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, respectively.
The song's slew of paid downloads earned the band the No. 1 debut on Hard Rock's digital song sales chart, Bring Me the Horizon's eighth leader and first since “LosT” last May. Only Five Finger Death Punch (16) and Linkin Park (9) have more No. 1s in the chart's history, which began in 2011.
Additionally, “Kool-Aid” ranks No. 17 on Hard Rock Streaming Songs.
The song is blowing up under Mainstream Rock Airplay. Its predecessor, “DArkSide,” peaked at No. 31 earlier in January. (“DArkSide” debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs in October 2023 and is currently ranked at No. 11.)
“Kool-Aid” is the latest single from Post Human: Next Genthe second to Bring Me the Horizon's Post Human series, after 2020 Post Human: Survival Horror. The set doesn't have a release date yet, but is expected in 2024.
