Jelly Roll Ties Pretty Reckless’ Record as ‘Liar’ Lifts to No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart

Jelly Roll has now gone 4-for-4 atop Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, rising to No. 1 on the tally dated Dec. 7 with “Liar.”

With the coronation, all four of Jelly Roll’s Mainstream Rock Airplay entries have reached No. 1. He first led with “Dead Man Walking” in 2022, followed by “Need a Favor” in 2023 and “All My Life,” with Falling in Reverse, this July.

Jelly Roll’s feat of sending four initial Mainstream Rock Airplay chart entries to No. 1 equals the record first set by The Pretty Reckless, which reigned with “Heaven Knows,” “Messed Up World,” “Follow Me Down” and “Take Me Down” in 2014-16.

Concurrently, “Liar” bullets at No. 7, after hitting No. 6, on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.7 million audience impressions (up 7%) in the week ending Nov. 28, according to Luminate.

Like “Need a Favor,” “Liar” is a dual rock and country radio single, as the latter rises 30-26 on the latest Country Airplay survey. Last year, “Need a Favor” became the first song in Billboard history to top both the Mainstream Rock Airplay and Country Airplay charts.

In addition to its all-format radio reach (10.9 million impressions), “Liar” drew 6.7 million official U.S. streams and sold 3,000 downloads Nov. 22-28.

“Liar” is the newest single from Beautifully Broken, Jelly Roll’s 10th studio album. The set debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated Oct. 26 and has earned 603,000 equivalent album units to date. The set’s “I Am Not Okay” topped Country Airplay for three weeks in November. Also being promoted to pop and adult radio, “I Am Not Okay” holds at its No. 8 best on the Dec. 7-dated Adult Pop Airplay chart.
