Twenty One Pilots Score A New No. 1 With A Viral Sensation

Twenty One Pilots scored another winner with the duo’s latest album, Breach. The pair’s eighth full-length together launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the fall of 2025 after months of promotion. Nearly half a year later, “Drag Path,” the latest single from Breach, which has experienced quite the odd journey, earns the Grammy-winning band a new No. 1 on a Billboard chart in America, and it nearly conquers several rankings at the same time.

Twenty One Pilots’s “Drag Path” Returns at No. 1

“Drag Path” relaunches on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart at No. 1. The tune appeared for the first time on the rundown in September 2025 and then quickly vanished. Now it makes space on the list for only the second time, and it leads the charge.

How Many Twenty One Pilots Songs Have Hit No. 1?

Twenty One Pilots claim a sixth career winner on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, which looks only at the bestselling tunes Billboard classifies specifically as alternative on sites like iTunes, Amazon and others. For the moment, “Drag Path” is tied with “Level of Concern” as the group’s only one-week rulers, though that could change again in a few days, when the company refreshes its rosters.

Here is a list of all of Twenty One Pilots’ No. 1s on Billboard‘s Alternative Digital Song Sales chart:

• “Drag Path”
• “Heathens”
• “Jumpsuit”
• “Level Of Concern”
• “Ride”
• “Stressed Out”

“Drag Path” Nearly Leads Another Sales Chart in America

The Twenty One Pilots cut nearly tops the Rock Digital Song Sales chart at the same time that it rules the Alternative Digital Song Sales list. This week, “Drag Path” reenters the roster in the runner-up space, which now marks its all-time high. Kid Rock’s “Til’ You Can’t,” which opened in first place last time around after the musician performed the Cody Johnson single during Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show, is steady at No. 1 in its second frame on the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking.

“Drag Path” Was Released, Then Pulled… Then It Went Viral

Twenty One Pilots initially released “Drag Path” in September 2025 when the group shared the album Breach. A special version of the project, titled Breach (Digital Remains), was available for a very small window of time, and a large enough number of fans purchased “Drag Path” before Twenty One Pilots removed it from all streaming and sales platforms that it charted.

“Drag Path” has since gone viral on TikTok, and the band decided to formally share it as a single. It is a slightly altered version that becomes a bestseller again in America this week, but the two tracks are grouped together for charting purposes.

“Drag Path” Debuts on Four Billboard Charts

As “Drag Path” returns to a pair of Billboard tallies, the track debuts on four others. “Drag Path” arrives on the Hot Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, Hot Rock and Alternative Songs and the Digital Song Sales charts all at the same time. The tune opens at No. 16 on the alternative list, No. 17 on the rock tally, and No. 20 on both the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs and Digital Song Sales rankings.

Twenty One Pilots Appears on One Billboard Tally for the Fourth Time

Twenty One Pilots appears on the Hot Alternative Songs chart for only the fourth time, while the group’s total number of wins on the other three tallies is more impressive. “Drag Path” marks an eleventh visit to the list of the bestselling cuts in the nation, regardless of style. The newly-chosen single becomes a milestone sixtieth win on the Hot Rock Songs chart for Twenty One Pilots, and the musicians are now up to 72 appearances on the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs rundown.
