Shinedown Breaks Record With 30th Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart Top 10

Shinedown has the record for the most top 10s on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart all to itself, as “Dead Don’t Die” climbs into the top 10 of the ranking dated Feb. 25.

“Die,” which jumps from No. 13 to No. 9, is Shinedown’s 30th top 10, as the band becomes the first act to cross the threshold in the history of the list, which began in 1981.

Previously, the Brent Smith-fronted outfit was in a three-way tie with Five Finger Death Punch and Foo Fighters for the most top 10s, with 29 apiece.
