Foo Fighters have extended their record on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with their 13th No. 1 hit, “Asking for a Friend,” marking their second chart-topper in 2025. The song garnered 5.7 million audience impressions in the week ending November 20, following a 6% increase, and succeeded Sublime’s 10-week chart reign with “Ensenada,” which followed the Foo Fighters’ previous No. 1 hit, “Today’s Song.” This is the band’s first No. 1 featuring new drummer Ilan Rubin, who joined the group in July, replacing their former drummer Josh Freese. “Asking for a Friend” also rose one spot to reach a new peak of No. 2 on Mainstream Rock Airplay, while holding at its No. 5 best on Alternative Airplay. The track also sits at No. 8 on this week’s multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, based on its substantial radio airplay alongside 494,000 official U.S. streams over the past week. (Billboard)
