Twenty One Pilots' "Drag Path" has risen to the top of Billboard's Alternative Airplay Chart dated May 2nd, earning the duo their 14th No. 1 on the list.
The song, written by Tyler Joseph, saw a 10% increase in plays in the tracking week April 17-23 to move from No. 3 to No. 1, according to Luminate.
"Drag Path" marks Twenty One Pilots' third Alternative Airplay No. 1 in less than a year, following "City Walls," which led in December, and "The Contract," which reached the summit in August. The act first led with "Stressed Out" in 2015.
"Drag Path" is from Twenty One Pilots' eighth studio album, Breach, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last September.
The song, which was not on the standard tracklist, first appeared as an exclusive bonus track on the limited-time Breach: Digital Remains release before gaining traction online. It was later issued to streaming services after going viral on TikTok, with a shorter edit released for the wider rollout.
