  "account": "Phoebe Bridgers has achieved her first Billboard Airplay No. 1 with the song \"Lost Boys.\" The track topped the Adult Alternative Airplay survey dated Aug. 29, following the release of her album Lost Weekend on Aug. 14. Bridgers first entered Adult Alternative Airplay in 2017 with \"Motion Sickness,\" which peaked at No. 26 in early 2018. Prior to \"Lost Boys,\" her highest peak on the chart was with \"Sidelines,\" which reached No. 12 in 2022. Bridgers has previously topped Adult Alternative Airplay with Boygenius in 2023 with \"Not Strong Enough,\" and a follow-up single \"Cool About It\" reached No. 2. \"Lost Boys\" marks Bridgers as the second act to claim the No. 1 spot in Adult Alternative Airplay for the first time in 2026, after Chris Stapleton's duet with Mumford & Sons, \"Here,\" led for two weeks in July. Bridgers is the first solo artist to accomplish this since St. Paul & the Broken Bones with \"Sushi and Coca-Cola\" in October. Concurrently, \"Lost Boys\" climbs to 23-22 on the Alternative Airplay chart. On the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, \"Lost Boys\" rose 21-17 with 2.2 million audience impressions, a 13% increase, in the week ending Aug. 20. \"Lost Boys\" is the lead single from Bridgers' third studio album, Lost Weekend, set to appear on the upcoming Billboard album charts. All lists dated Aug. 29 will be updated on Billboard.com on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with the top 10 of the Billboard 200 revealed on Sunday, Aug. 23.",
