“Pieces” reigns following the one-week rule of “Artificial” in February. The latter became Daughtry’s first No. 1 following 17 years of Mainstream Rock Airplay appearances (dating to 2007’s “It’s Not Over”), the longest stretch between a first entry and first leader since Jeff Beck set the record of 37 years between “People Get Ready” in 1985 and Ozzy Osbourne’s “Patient Number 9,” on which he’s featured, in 2022.

“Pieces” previously became the Chris Daughtry-led band’s sixth top 10 on Mainstream Rock Airplay and personal-best third in a row, following “Artificial” and the No. 5-peaking “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” a Journey cover featuring Lzzy Hale, in 2023.

Concurrently, “Pieces” rises 13-12 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.2 million audience impressions, up 5%, in the week ending Aug. 29, according to Luminate. It ties “Artificial” for the band’s best rank since the survey began in 2009.

On the most recently published multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Aug. 31, reflecting data Aug. 16-22), “Pieces” placed at No. 22, making the list for the first time since April. In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 138,000 official U.S. streams.

“Pieces” is the second single from Shock to the System, Daughtry’s seventh studio album, due Sept. 27.

All charts dated Sept. 7 will update on Billboard.com Wednesday, Sept. 4 a day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday Sept. 2.
