The Warning notches a record-setting No. 1 on Billboard ’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart dated Sept. 5, with “Kerosene” rising to the top of the survey. The trio — comprising sisters Alejandra, Daniela and Paulina Villarreal Velez — becomes both the first Mexican band and the first all-women band to rule over the ranking’s 45-year history. “Kerosene” is the second No. 1 by two or more women in 2026, following “End of You,” a collaboration between Evanescence ’s Amy Lee , Poppy and Spiritbox ’s Courtney LaPlante, in February. The other women to lead the list this year are Taylor Momsen, who fronts The Pretty Reckless (“When I Wake Up,” June), and Mckenna Grace , as featured on Ice Nine Kills ’ “Twisting the Knife” (July). The Warning first appeared on Mainstream Rock Airplay in 2022 with “Money,” which rose to No. 31. The group boasts two top 10s, both reaching No. 8, prior to its new No. 1: “S!ck,” in 2024, and Dead Poet Society ’s “Hurt,” on which the band is featured, last year. Concurrently, “Kerosene” jumps 10-6 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.3 million audience impressions in the week ending Aug. 27, up 7% week over week, according to Luminate. The song also hit the top 10 for the first time on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Aug. 29, reflecting data tracked Aug. 14-20). In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 255,000 chart-eligible streams in the United States. “Kerosene” is on Everything’s Falling , The Warning’s fifth studio album, out today, Aug. 28. All Billboard charts dated Sept. 5 will update on Billboard.com on Tuesday (Sept. 1).
