Mammoth Nabs 4th Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1 With ‘The Spell’

Mammoth has strung together a pair of No. 1s on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for a second time, as “The Spell” takes the top spot on the survey dated Feb. 7.

“The Spell,” which rises one rung, follows a one-week rule for “The End” by the Wolfgang Van Halen-led band last August.

Mammoth kicked off its Mainstream Rock Airplay-charting career with two leaders, “Distance” and “Don’t Back Down,” in 2021.

In between “Don’t Back Down” and “The End,” Mammoth reached Mainstream Rock Airplay with three hits in 2022-24, paced by a No. 5 high for “I’m Alright,” along with “Another Celebration at the End of the World” (No. 7) and “Epiphany” (No. 9).

Concurrently, “The Spell” pushes 10-9 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.1 million audience impressions in the week ending Jan. 29, according to Luminate. That ties Mammoth’s best rank on the list, previously achieved by “Distance.”

“The Spell” returned to its No. 17 best on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Jan. 31, reflecting data accumulated Jan. 16-22). In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 153,000 official U.S. streams in that span.

The End, Mammoth’s third studio album, debuted at No. 3 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart in November and has earned 29,000 equivalent album units to date.

The group is promoting the set on tour, including shows with Bush, Creed and Iron Maiden, through December, with dates in the U.S. and Canada through May before mixing in gigs in Europe and South America.

All Billboard charts dated Feb. 7 will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Feb. 3.
