Yellowcard’s “Better Days” has topped the Alternative Radio charts.
“Better Days” reaches No. 1 a tick under 22 years after “Way Away” debuted on Alternative Airplay on the tally dated Sept. 6, 2003. The nearly 22-year gap between a first entry and first ruler is the longest in the chart’s 37-year history, surpassing the 17 years and nine months it took for Fall Out Boy between its arrival (with the No. 3 classic “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” in 2005) and its first No. 1, “Love From the Other Side,” in 2023.
