Yellowcard & Good Charlotte Top Alternative Airplay Chart With ‘Bedroom Posters’

Yellowcard and Good Charlotte, two mainstays of the 2000s pop-punk scene, team up for the latest No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, as “Bedroom Posters” rises a spot to rule the May 9-dated list.

The song, from Yellowcard’s 2025 album Better Days and featuring Good Charlotte, marks Yellowcard’s second total and consecutive No. 1 on the list, following the three-week reign of “Better Days” last August-September. The act led the chart 22 years after it first reached Alternative Airplay, then setting a record for the longest wait between an initial appearance and reaching No. 1.

That record stood until now, as “Bedroom Posters” is Good Charlotte’s first leader on any Billboard airplay ranking. The rockers first hit Alternative Airplay in September 2000 with “Little Things” –– making it an unprecedented 25 years, seven months and one week between an act’s first appearance on the tally and its first No. 1. (Yellowcard still holds the mark for the longest wait among artists first hitting No. 1 as a lead act.)

Good Charlotte cracked the top 10 once prior to “Bedroom Posters” with “The Anthem” in 2003. The band’s highest-charting airplay appearance overall before “Bedroom Posters” was “Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous,” a No. 6 hit on Pop Airplay in 2003.

Concurrently, “Bedroom Posters” lifts to No. 20 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2 million audience impressions in the week ending April 30, a gain of 7%, according to Luminate. It’s Good Charlotte’s highest-charting song there, having exceeded the No. 34 peak of “Rejects” in 2025.

“Bedroom Posters” premiered sans Good Charlotte on Better Days before the collaborative version arrived Jan. 16. Better Days was released on Oct. 10, 2025 and has earned 31,000 equivalent album units to date.
