The Kerrang! Chart
The Kerrang! Chart: The best new music this week
The ultimate new music countdown – every Friday!
It's the quickest since Green Day in 2009… nice!
According to Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, twenty one pilots' latest single Jumpsuit has become the fastest-rising single of the decade, making the quickest leap to Number One since Green Day's smash Know Your Enemy in 2009.
The Trench hit has reached the top spot in less than two weeks, beating the likes of Foo Fighters' Rope (which took three weeks to hit Number One in 2011 – take your time, lads…) and Linkin Park's The Catalyst (again, also taking three weeks to climb up in 2010).
Even more info for you, fact fans: Tyler and Josh have now spent a cool total of 31 weeks atop the Alternative Songs chart. Nice work, you guys.
Here's Jumpsuit again, if you haven't already listened to it a million times:
And here's Green Day's Know Your Enemy, because c'mon, that's a banger too:
