Sum 41 Scores Second Alternative Airplay No. 1 This Year With ‘Dopamine’
The band's second and third No. 1s have led over two decades after its first in 2001.

After earning its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in over two decades earlier this year, Sum 41 scores another as “Dopamine” rises a spot to No. 1 on the Nov. 30-dated survey.
The song follows the two-week Alternative Airplay command for “Landmines” in March. The latter led 22 years, five months and three weeks after Sum 41’s first No. 1, “Fat Lip,” in August 2001, rewriting the record for the longest break between rulers for an act in the chart’s 36-year history. It shattered the previous best test of patience, held by The Killers, who waited 13 years and six months between the reigns of “When You Were Young” in 2006 and “Caution” in 2020.

Meanwhile, when “Dopamine” reached the top 10 of Alternative Airplay in September, Sum 41 notched two top 10s in a single year for the first time since 2001, when both “Fat Lip” and “In Too Deep” (No. 10) reached the region.
Concurrently, “Dopamine” ranks at No. 9 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.2 million audience impressions Nov. 15-21, according to Luminate. It hit a No. 6 high a week earlier.
“Dopamine” is the second single from Heaven :X: Hell, Sum 41’s eighth and to-be-final studio album, as the Deryck Whibley-fronted act is disbanding following the conclusion of its tour in January 2025. The set debuted at No. 23 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart in April and has earned 41,000 equivalent album units to date.
All Billboard charts dated Nov. 30 will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Nov. 26.
