Phoebe Bridgers tops a Billboard airplay chart for the first time as a solo artist, ruling the Aug. 29-dated Adult Alternative Airplay survey with “Lost Boys.”
The song rises 2-1 in its eighth week on the ranking, following the Aug. 14 release of parent album Lost Weekend.
Bridgers first reached Adult Alternative Airplay in 2017 with “Motion Sickness,” which rose to No. 26 in early 2018. Prior to “Lost Boys,” she logged her best peak with “Sidelines,” which hit No. 12 in 2022.
Bridgers does, however, have previous No. 1 success on Adult Alternative Airplay. Boygenius, her group with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, led for seven weeks in 2023 with “Not Strong Enough”; follow-up “Cool About It” reached No. 2.
“Lost Boys” makes Bridgers the second act to hit No. 1 on Adult Alternative Airplay for the first time in 2026, following Chris Stapleton, whose duet with Mumford & Sons, “Here,” led for two weeks in July. She’s the first first-timer to do so without any other acts since St. Paul & the Broken Bones reigned with “Sushi and Coca-Cola” in October.
Concurrently, “Lost Boys” lifts 23-22 on Alternative Airplay; her previous best, “Kyoto,” peaked at No. 25 in 2021 (boygenius’ “Not Strong Enough” hit No. 11). On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, “Lost Boys” climbs 21-17 with 2.2 million audience impressions, up 13%, in the week ending Aug. 20, according to Luminate.
“Lost Boys” is the lead single from Lost Weekend, Bridgers’ third studio album, which is set to impact the latest Billboard album charts. All lists dated Aug. 29 will update on Billboard.com on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with the top 10 of the Billboard 200 to be revealed Sunday, Aug. 23.
