Three Days Grace Achieves 19th No. 1 on Rock Charts, Nearing All-Time Record
Three Days Grace has once again proven their prowess in the music industry by achieving their 19th No. 1 hit on the rock charts with their song “Apologies” on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in January 2025. This achievement brings them closer to breaking the all-time record held by Shinedown, with 20 chart-topping hits. The band, in an Instagram post, announced the release of their new album “ALIENATION” set to launch on August 22, urging fans to listen to “Apologies” in the meantime.
The recent success of “Apologies” follows the previous hit “Mayday,” which maintained its dominance on the charts for five consecutive weeks. What makes these songs unique is the collaboration between past and present vocalists of Three Days Grace. Former lead singer Adam Gontier, who departed in 2013, will be teaming up with current frontman Matt Walst. Walst’s background in My Darkest Days has played a significant role in preserving the band’s signature hard rock sound, creating a seamless transition between eras of the band.
Originating from Ontario, Canada in 1992, Three Days Grace has charted an unexpected yet successful trajectory in the music scene. Their debut album in 2003 thrust them into the spotlight, with hits like “Just Like You” solidifying their place in the industry. Despite lineup changes and evolving styles, the band has maintained their distinctive rock sound and compelling songwriting, resonating with audiences through their catchy tunes and relatable lyrics.
Walst’s addition as a vocalist brought a fresh dynamic to Three Days Grace, blending seamlessly with the established sound of the band. Their music continues to captivate audiences with explosive choruses and powerful verses that electrify stadiums. The incorporation of dual vocals in their new tracks showcases the band’s commitment to innovation and growth, propelling them to new heights in the music world.
Through their unique approach to rock music and unwavering dedication to their craft, Three Days Grace has solidified their position as a fan-favorite band. Their ability to adapt, evolve, and maintain relevance in an ever-shifting industry is a testament to their enduring talent and creativity. As they gear up for future tour dates alongside Breaking Benjamin, fans can expect an unforgettable live experience, with VIP tickets available in various cities for an up-close and personal interaction with the band.
