Fontaines D.C. Earns Its First Radio Chart No. 1 With ‘Marianne’

The single from Dopamine Chamber tops Adult Alternative Airplay.

Fontaines D.C. has achieved a significant milestone in their music career, as their lead single from the album Dopamine Chamber, "Marianne," has claimed the top spot on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart. This marks their first No. 1 on this prestigious chart, following a 4% increase in plays during the week of October 23-29.

The band's momentum continues to soar as they have consistently seen their entries climb higher in the Adult Alternative Airplay rankings, with their previous singles "Jackie Down the Line," "Roman Holiday," "Starburster," and "It's Amazing to Be Young" all peaking above "Marianne." The release of "Marianne" is also a triumph for XL Recordings, as it secures its fourth No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart, following previous successes by Adele.

The song is making waves in Alternative Airplay as well, currently holding the No. 16 position, representing a 5% boost in spins. Dopamine Chamber made its debut at No. 1 on October 31 for the Independent Albums, Indie Store Album Sales, and Vinyl Albums charts, while also charting at No. 4 on the Alternative Albums chart and No. 14 on the Billboard 200.
