Mammoth’s ‘The End’ Begins No. 1 Run on Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart

Mammoth returns to No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, climbing two places on the tally dated Aug. 2 with “The End.”

It’s the Wolfgang Van Halen-led band’s third leader, following coronations for its first two entries in 2021 (when it went by the name Mammoth WVH): “Distance” and “Don’t Back Down.”

In between “Don’t Back Down” and “The End,” Mammoth reached Mainstream Rock Airplay three times, with all songs hitting the top 10. Of the group, “I’m Alright” performed the best, peaking at No. 5 in January 2024. It followed “Another Celebration at the End of the World” (No. 7, June 2023) and “Epiphany” (No. 9, March 2022).

Concurrently, “The End” lifts 12-11 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.8 million audience impressions, a boost of 2%, in the week ending July 24, according to Luminate. The band’s best remains “Distance,” which reached No. 9.

“The End” debuted at No. 25 on the multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart dated May 17 upon its release, as well as at No. 4 on Hard Rock Digital Song Sales.

It’s the lead single from The End, Mammoth’s third studio album, due Oct. 24. Mammoth II, the band’s previous LP, debuted at No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart in August 2023 and has accumulated 58,000 equivalent album units to date. The group has tour dates lined up through Dec. 6, with its next stop July 26 in New Orleans.

All Billboard charts dated Aug. 2 will update Tuesday, July 29, on Billboard.com.
