Shinedown, a multi-platinum rock band, has achieved another remarkable milestone in their 23-year span as a group. Their single, "A Symptom of Being Human," is the first song by a band or solo artist to chart in the top 10 on three major Mediabase charts: Active Rock, Alternative Rock, and Adult Contemporary (AC).
This isn't the only milestone the band has achieved with "A Symptom of Being Human." Shinedown currently holds the most No. #1s, Top 5s and Top 10s in the Mediabase Active Rock category – with a record-breaking 23 No. 1 songs on the chart.
"Radio has been the heartbeat of our band, and we owe an immense debt of gratitude to the stations that have championed us," Brent Smith, lead vocalist of Shinedown, said. "This milestone is a testament to the unwavering support from our fans and their beloved radio stations, which have been pivotal in our journey and growth since day one."
In a statement, Philippe Generali, Mediabase President and CEO, said, "Mediabase would like to congratulate Shinedown, Atlantic-Elektra and the In De Goot Management team on this accomplishment for "A Symptom Of Being Human." To be able to go top 10 at these three formats, as well as having successful runs at Top 40 and Hot AC is very rare for a rock song."
Shinedown has plenty to celebrate with this significant achievement, and they continue to do so by staying dedicated to creating music that inspires and connects people. The band is working on their next release while touring across the U.S. for the next couple of months!
