Foo Fighters Return To Multiple Charts Thanks To An Exciting New Single
The Foo Fighters' new single 'Today's Song' debuts at No. 1 on a Billboard chart and revives the ... More band's Greatest Hits album on multiple tallies. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - MAY 03: Dave Grohl performs with Foo Fighters on Day 6 of 2024 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at Fair Grounds Race Course on April 28, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by) The Foo Fighters may or may not be entering a brand new era with 'Today's Song.' The tune appeared seemingly out of nowhere recently, and as it launches across a variety of Billboard charts, it's still unclear if the group is prepping the world for another full-length project, or if this track is, at least for now, a standalone release to be enjoyed by fans everywhere. The quick success of 'Today's Song' helps bring the band's Greatest Hits compilation back to the forefront, and back to the charts in the United States. The popularity of the just-dropped single seems to have improved the group's entire catalog, with many listeners likely focusing their streaming activity on the compilation. Foo Fighters Return with Greatest Hits Greatest Hits by the Foo Fighters appears on four Billboard tallies in America this week, reentering each and every one of them. The collection sits highest on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, landing at No. 12. On the Top Alternative Albums list, Greatest Hits also returns, settling in at No. 23. The project just misses the crucial top 40 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster, where it lands at No. 42. The Foo Fighters also reappear on the Billboard 200, the ranking of the most popular albums of any kind in the U.S. On that tally, Greatest Hits breaks back in at No. 178. Hundreds of Weeks on the Charts Luminate states that during the past tracking period in America, the Foo Fighters' compilation moved another 9,100 equivalent units. Almost all of those came from streaming activity, as the title sold only 350 copies. While Greatest Hits had recently disappeared from all four of the charts it returns to this frame, the full-length isn't new to any of them. The compilation has spent hundreds of weeks on each roster – the least of which stands at 284 weeks on the Billboard 200. The same project is nearing 450 weeks on the list of the most consumed hard rock collections in the country. 'Today's Song' Launches at No. 1 'Today's Song' is a quick win for the band on the Billboard charts where it debuts. The Foo Fighters earn an eighth career No. 1 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tally as the tune opens in first place. The outfit's latest cut also starts inside the top 10 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay, Rock Digital Song Sales, and Alternative Digital Song Sales charts.

Foo Fighters Score A New Top 40 Bestseller With A Surprise New Hit
Foo Fighters' tune 'Today's Song' debuts at No. 40 on the U.K. Official Singles Downloads chart, ... More becoming the band's first hit in more than a year. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 19: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Musician Dave Grohl, founding member of Nirvana and The Foo Fighters, performs onstage as a special guest with the Los Angeles Philharmonic during weekend 2, day 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 19, 2025 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Out of seemingly nowhere, the Foo Fighters recently released a new single titled "Today's Song." At the moment, it's unclear whether the band is working on a full-length or if the rock outfit simply wanted to give fans something to enjoy in the meantime. It doesn't seem to matter to longtime supporters of the Dave Grohl-fronted group, as listeners in the United Kingdom quickly began purchasing "Today's Song" the moment it became available, turning it into a top 40 success in no time. "Today's Song" Just Barely Reaches the Top 40 The latest from Foo Fighters opens at No. 40 on the Official Singles Downloads chart. At the same time, it lands five spaces lower on the Official Singles Sales list, which isn't focused on any one format, but rather encompasses all kinds of purchases, including downloads, CDs, cassettes, and vinyl. Years Since the Last Bestseller It has been a little more than two years since Foo Fighters scored a new hit on either the Official Singles Sales or Official Singles Downloads rankings. The group most recently appeared on the Official Singles Downloads chart in May 2023 with "Under You," which peaked at No. 59. The act last rose higher with "Rescue Me," its prior tune, which hit No. 28 in April 2023. The band returned to the Official Singles Sales chart in January 2024 with "The Glass," several months after both "Rescue Me" and "Under You" launched — and then quickly disappeared. Foo Fighters Close in on a Chart Milestone Throughout the decades that Foo Fighters have been together, the musicians have collected 17 wins on the Official Singles Sales chart. With one more tune, the group will hit two dozen placements on the ranking of the top-selling downloads throughout the U.K.
