Atlanta-based rock band The Paradox made history after notching their first-ever No. 1 hit on the Billboard Alternative chart.
The group's entry, "Get the Message," helped the quartet of musicians—comprising Eric Dangerfield (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Christopher "Xelan" Bernard (lead guitar, backing vocals), Donald Bryant (bass), and Percy "PC3" Crews (drums)—become the very first all-Black band in the genre to land in the top spot. The track first rose as the leader of the Billboard chart on Jan. 24, 2026, the music publication reported. At the time, it also appeared at No. 9 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.4 million audience impressions in the week ending Jan. 15.
The Paradox first made a Billboard ranking when a video of them playing their track, “Do Me Like That,” in a backyard went viral on TikTok, racking up nearly 10 million views.

♬ original sound - The ParadoxCurrently, "Get the Message" is still charting, now holding strong at No. 5 on the Alternative Airplay chart for the week of Feb. 21, 2026. It follows sombr's "12 To 12" at No. 4, Mumford & Sons & Hozier's "Rubber Band Man" in third, Tame Impala's "Dracula," and YUNGBLUD's "Zombie" in the top spot.
In the song, they paid homage to another notable rocker with whom they collaborated on their 2025-released EP, NSFW. "Blink-182 is shouted out in the opening line of 'Get the Message.' The band boasts five Alternative Airplay No. 1s between 1999 and 2024. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is featured on one of The Paradox’s releases, 'Bender,' as well, and contributed production to the tune," the outlet points out.
Formed in June 2024, the musical act has already gotten stamps of approval from the likes of Green Day, who they opened for at their Truist Park stadium show, former The White Stripes rocker Jack White, and more.
