Three Days Grace
"Kill Me Fast" reaches the top spot.
Three Days Grace becomes the second act in the history of Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart to tally 20 No. 1s, nabbing its milestone 20th on the Dec. 13-dated survey with “Kill Me Fast.”
The song is the rockers’ third No. 1 in a row, all earned in 2025, following the five-frame rule of “Mayday” beginning in January and the one-week lead for “Apologies” in July.
The Canadians first topped Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2004 with their sophomore entry, “Just Like You” (their premiere chart title, “[I Hate] Everything About You,” hit No. 4 in 2003). The band’s first 10 leaders were with frontman Adam Gontier, followed by seven with his replacement vocalist, Matt Walst, before the most recent three that sport both singers after Gontier rejoined the group.
Three Days Grace remains in second place for the most No. 1s in the Mainstream Rock Airplay’ chart’s 44-year archives, one behind the 21 achieved by Shinedown, whose “Searchlight” just so happens to be the Dec. 13 chart’s Greatest Gainer at No. 29.

The three latest No. 1s on the chart have been achieved by acts on the above list; Five Finger Death Punch’s “The End,” featuring BABYMETAL, reigned on the Nov. 22 and 29 tallies, followed by Foo Fighters’ “Asking for a Friend” Dec. 6.
Concurrently, “Kill Me Fast” remains at its No. 12 best on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.7 million audience impressions in the week ending Dec. 4, according to Luminate. It’s also bubbling under Alternative Airplay.
“Kill Me Fast” appeared at No. 15 on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Dec. 6, reflecting data Nov. 21-27); its best so far, a debut of No. 13, was achieved on the Aug. 9 list. In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 543,000 official U.S. streams.
Alienation, Three Days Grace’s eighth studio album that includes the band’s three newest Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1s, debuted at its No. 2 best on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart in September and has earned 96,000 equivalent album units to date.
All Billboard charts dated Dec. 13 will update Tuesday, Dec. 9, on Billboard.com.
