Weezer’s Biggest Billboard Chart Hits: ‘Buddy Holly,’ ‘Beverly Hills’ & More

More than three decades after “Undone – The Sweater Song” introduced Weezer to rock radio — and to Billboard’s charts — the band is still collecting Alternative Airplay hits.

Weezer’s Wednesday collaboration, “We Might as Well Be Strangers,” topped the chart dated Oct. 31, 2026, becoming the band’s ninth No. 1. Weezer has placed 36 songs on the chart since 1994, including 23 top 10s. Its biggest hits have arrived in waves, from its 1990s breakthrough to a steady run of leaders in the 2020s.

The group’s chart history began with “Undone,” which reached No. 6 in August 1994. “Buddy Holly” hit No. 2 that December and “Say It Ain’t So” rose to No. 7 in August 1995, cementing the band as an alt-rock force.

Weezer kept charting through the late 1990s and returned to No. 2 with “Hash Pipe” in 2001. Its first No. 1 arrived in 2005: “Beverly Hills.” The song became a crossover smash, reaching No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the band’s only top 10 on the all-genre, multimetric chart) and No. 2 on Pop Airplay.

“Perfect Situation” led Alternative Airplay in 2006 and “Pork and Beans” ruled for 11 weeks in 2008. The following year, “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” reached No. 2, spending 37 weeks on the chart, the most for a song by the band to that point.

After 2010s hits including “Back to the Shack” (No. 5, 2014) and “Feels Like Summer” (No. 2, 2017), a fan-driven cover of Toto’s “Africa” topped the chart in August 2018. It kicked off a remarkable streak of No. 1s this decade: “Hero” (2020); “All My Favorite Songs” (2021), over a career-best 43-week chart run; “A Little Bit of Love” (2022); and “Records” (2023).

2026 brought a revived hit and a new one. “Go Away,” a 2014 duet with Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, went viral on TikTok. It entered the Hot 100 in March, the band’s first appearance there since “Africa” and reached No. 3 on Alternative Airplay in June. Then “We Might as Well Be Strangers,” a duet with Wednesday’s Karly Hartzman from Weezer’s 2026 self-titled LP (aka the Gold Album), returned the Rivers Cuomo-fronted act to the top.

Reflecting more than three decades of chart success, below Billboard counts down Weezer’s 25 biggest Alternative Airplay hits.

Weezer’s Biggest Billboard Hits chart is based on performance on Billboard’s weekly Alternative Airplay chart through the Nov. 7, 2026, ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower ranks earning less. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.
