Hozier Notches Fifth Straight Adult Alternative Airplay No. 1 With ‘Nobody’s Soldier’


Hozier's "Nobody's Soldier" becomes his seventh No. 1, and fifth in a row, on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.

With five rulers in a row, Hozier is one away from the chart’s all-time best run, held by U2, which strung together six from 2001’s “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of” through 2005’s “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own.” 1s in a single year, thanks to “Nobody’s Soldier,” “Too Sweet” and “Northern Attitude.” Only two groups previously achieved the feat, dating to the chart’s January 1996 launch: Coldplay with “Violet Hill,” “Viva La Vida” and “Lost!,” featuring Jay-Z, in 2008, and Dave Matthews Band with “I Did It,” “The Space Between” and “Everyday” in 2001. On the all- rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, it rises 23-22 with 1.4 million audience impressions, up 7%, in the week ending Oct. 24, according to Luminate.
