Heavenly Ascent: Myles Smith Scores First No. 1 Song With ‘Stargazing’


Myles Smith reigns for the first time on a Billboard songs chart, topping Alternative Airplay with "Stargazing."

Smith scores the second straight Alternative Airplay leader for RCA Records, after Cage the Elephant ’s “Rainbow” ruled for two weeks. RCA last led in succession with three titles in December 2014-March 2015: “Something From Nothing” by Foo Fighters, “Cigarette Daydreams” by Cage the Elephant and “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon. In addition to its radio airplay, it earned 8.3 million official U.S. streams and sold 2,000 downloads in the week ending Sept. 19.
