The Pretty Reckless Repeats No. 1 Streak
The Pretty Reckless reigns on Mainstream Rock Airplay for the eighth time with "For I Am Death," the most No. 1s by a woman or woman-led act.
The band has now strung together four straight leaders twice. The Taylor Momsen-led band has achieved this feat nearly a decade after opening its career on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with four No. 1s.
"For I Am Death" is The Pretty Reckless’ first new music since its 2021 album Death by Rock and Roll, and it climbs to No. 1, marking the band’s eighth leader and fourth straight, a streak that dates to 2020.
Previous leaders include "Death by Rock and Roll", "And So It Went", and "Only Love Can Save Me Now" in 2021.
