Chart-topping rock band Shinedown has made history once again with the release of their latest single.
The Florida quartet, featuring vocalist Brent Smith, drummer Barry Kerch, lead guitarist Zach Myers, and bassist Eric Bass, is celebrating another huge achievement after earning its 26th No. 1 single on the Mediabase Active Rock chart, extending the band’s all-time record for the most chart-topping songs in the format’s history.
“Young Again” is the latest single off the iHeartRadio Music Awards Rock Artist of the Year winners’ eighth studio album, EI8HT, which was released on May 29, 2026.
Earlier this year, Shinedown earned its first-ever No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart with “Young Again,” marking another major achievement in the band’s 25-year-long career. Elsewhere on the charts, the band also holds the record for most No. 1 songs on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
“When we wrote [‘Young Again,’] the entire embodiment of the song is about nostalgia,” Smith previously told iHeartRadio Canada in an interview. “That song is such a reflection of simpler times.”
The “Second Chance” hitmaker also discussed how pop culture influences the band’s songwriting, with The Goonies and Stranger Things serving as inspiration for “Young Again.”
Shinedown’s latest in a long list of historic achievements comes as the band continues their Dance, Kid, Dance Act II World Tour, bringing their high-octane live show to audiences around the globe. In May, during the North American leg of the tour, the band surprised fans by playing a deep cut for the first time in almost two decades.
During the May 16 show in Wisconsin, the band honored a fan’s request to play a track that they hadn’t previously performed in 18 years: “Junkies for Fame,” taken from 2008’s The Sound of Madness.
“Real quick, before you say anything. We don’t do this for anyone,” Smith said, addressing the fan named Anthony in the crowd. “Anthony, you are the number one tonight, my brother. You are the number one, my man.”
