From Ashes to New rose to No. 1 on the May 16-dated Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with “Drag Me,” marking the Pennsylvania rockers’ first leader on a Billboard radio chart.

The single climbed to the top slot in its 13th entry on the survey. The band first appeared on Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2016 with “Through It All,” which peaked at No. 6 and began a run that has produced seven top 10s. Their previous best showing on the chart was “Barely Breathing,” featuring Against the Current, which reached No. 2 in 2024.

“Drag Me” displaced Dayseeker’s “Crawl Back to My Coffin” after one week. It is one of six acts that have reached No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay for the first time in 2026, following 10 first-time leaders in all of 2025.

On the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, which measures audience across all rock formats, “Drag Me” jumped from No. 24 to No. 17. Luminate reports the song earned 2.2 million radio audience impressions in the week ending May 7, a 17% increase. That position is the band’s highest on that chart, surpassing the No. 20 peak of “Barely Breathing.”

The song also reached a new No. 20 on the multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart dated May 9, reflecting data from April 24-30. In addition to radio airplay, “Drag Me” registered 344,000 chart-eligible streams in the United States during the tracking period.

“Drag Me” appears on Reflections, the band’s fifth studio album, released April 17. The album has accumulated 19,000 equivalent album units to date.
