Noah Kahan tops Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for a second time as “Doors” debuts at No. 1 on the tally dated May 9.
In the week ending April 30, the song, released April 24 on Kahan’s album The Great Divide, totaled 17.9 million chart-eligible streams, 135,000 in radio audience and 1,000 sold in the United States, according to Luminate.
Kahan led with the new set’s title track for a week upon its debut in February; “The Great Divide” concurrently ranks at No. 2 (15 million streams, 13.9 million radio audience impressions, 1,000 sold).
The singer-songwriter claims the top four on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs with music from The Great Divide. He’s the third act to accomplish the feat since the chart began in 2009, following takeovers for Zach Bryan (the top eight for a week in September 2023) and Imagine Dragons (top four, August 2018).
The Great Divide bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, where it’s Kahan’s first leader, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums with the most weekly equivalent album units (389,000) for a rock album since that methodology originated in 2014, as previously reported. He adds his second Top Rock & Alternative Albums No. 1, with The Great Divide displacing 2022’s Stick Season after 32 nonconsecutive weeks on top since June 2023; the latter ranks at No. 2 (38,000).
All 21 songs from The Great Divide storm the top 30 of Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, through “A Few of Your Own” at No. 30. That’s the most that any act has had in the top 30 at once, exceeding 19 each for Bryan (this January) and Linkin Park (2017).
Concurrently, “Doors” bows at No. 9 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, marking Kahan’s third top 10, following “The Great Divide” (No. 6 in February) and “Stick Season” (No. 9, 2024). All 21 songs from the album make the ranking, including 12 in the top 40.
