Architects are the ninth act to reach No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay for the first time in 2025 and the fourth to do so as a lead act, following Sleep Theory, Evanescence and Deftones. That’s the most maiden No. 1s for a lead act since 2022, when Nita Strauss, Muse, Motionless in White and Jelly Roll achieved the feat.
On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, “Everything Ends” jumps 21-16 with 2.1 million audience impressions in the week ending Sept. 18, up 21%, according to Luminate. The song is the group’s highest-charting on the list, having surpassed the No. 24 peak of “Animals.”
“Everything Ends” also spent a week at No. 16 on the multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart in March upon its debut.
The track is the lead single from The Sky, the Earth & All Between, Architects’ 11th studio album, which debuted at No. 7 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart in March and has earned 74,000 equivalent album units to date.
