Big Machine/John Varvatos RecordsBadflower once again has the number-one rock song in the U.S.
The band’s current single, “The Jester,” has reached the top spot on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Songs chart, which measures radio airplay. They previously ruled the chart with the single “Heroin.”
“The irony is amazing,” frontman Josh Katz says of “The Jester’s” ascension.
“A song written about not being respected or taken seriously by the music industry is now the #1 most played rock song in America by the music industry,” he notes. “After everything we’ve accomplished now, it’s wild to think about how many years we spent as the underdog band.”
“The Jester” is also the third Badflower single to top the Mediabase Active Rock chart, following “Heroin” and breakthrough hit “Ghost.”
All three of those songs are included on Badflower’s debut album, OK, I’m Sick, out now.
