Architects’ “Everything Ends” rises two spots to No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart dated Sept. 27, becoming the band’s maiden ruler on the tally — or any songs-based ranking.

Prior to “Everything Ends,” the rockers notched three other entries, paced by the No. 18-peaking “Dead Butterflies,” also in 2021.

Architects are the ninth act to reach No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay for the first time in 2025 and the fourth to do so as a lead act, following Sleep Theory, Evanescence and Deftones.
