Red Hot Chili Peppers tie Foo Fighters for the most top 10s in the history of Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, as “The Drummer” lifts 13-10 on the Feb. 18-dated ranking.

The song becomes the Chili Peppers’ 28th top 10.

The band previously had sole possession of the record before Foo Fighters tied it at 25 in 2020 and surpassed it in 2021, eventually rattling off two more through 2022 to put themselves at 28.

The Chili Peppers caught back up on the strength of “Black Summer,” a four-week No. 1 last year, followed by one-week ruler “Tippa My Tongue” last year and now “The Drummer.”
