Dayseeker’s ‘Crawl Back to My Coffin’ Lands First Billboard No. 1

Dayseeker has achieved a significant milestone by securing the number one spot on the Billboard chart for the first time with their song “Crawl Back to My Coffin.” This accomplishment marks their fifth entry onto the Mainstream Rock Airplay survey. The band’s journey on the chart began in 2022 with the debut of “Without Me,” which entered at No. 37 and reached its peak at No. 20 in early 2023. Prior to the success of “Coffin,” Dayseeker’s highest-charting song was “Pale Moonlight,” which peaked at number seven and was one of their two top 10 hits last year.
Originating from California in 2012, Dayseeker first made their appearance on a Billboard chart with Heatseekers Albums in 2015. Last year, their album “Creature in the Black Night” debuted at No. 79 on the Billboard 200. “Crawl Back to My Coffin” serves as the second single from this particular album.
In 2026, Dayseeker joins the ranks of five acts that have secured their first number one spot on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. This feat has been achieved through three songs, starting with “End of You,” a collaboration featuring Poppy, Amy Lee, and Courtney LaPlante, followed by Pierce the Veil’s “So Far So Fake.” This trend mirrors the achievements of 2025, where ten acts attained their first chart-topping positions by the end of the year.
Furthermore, “Crawl Back to My Coffin” marks a significant milestone as the first number one hit for Spinefarm Records after 11 years since its debut on the chart. Jonas Nachsin, the Spinefarm worldwide GM, expresses his pride and excitement for Dayseeker’s achievement, highlighting the band’s dedicated climb towards success over the years. The band’s growing popularity and connection with fans worldwide have contributed to their well-deserved ascent to the top of the charts.
Alongside its number one position on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, “Coffin” has also seen a rise on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, ascending from 15 to 14. The song garnered 2.7 million audience impressions in the week ending April 30, marking Dayseeker’s highest-charting track on this list. Additionally, “Coffin” climbed from 14 to 13 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs list, with 531,000 official streams in the United States.
Their sixth studio album, “Creatures in the Black Night,” has accumulated 89,000 equivalent album units to date, solidifying Dayseeker’s position in the rock music industry. Fans can look forward to more chart-topping hits and continued success from the band, whose unique musical style and emotional resonance continue to captivate audiences globally.
