Credit: Neil KrugCage the Elephant's new single "Ready to Let Go" has reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart -- and it did so in record time.
The track, which was released in January, took only six weeks to grab the top spot on Alternative Songs, which is a personal record for the Kentucky rockers. It's also the quickest any song has ascended to number one on the chart since Twenty One Pilots did it in just two weeks last summer with "Jumpsuit."
With "Ready to Let Go," Cage now holds a total of eight number-one entries Alternative Songs, which is tied with U2 for fifth-most in the chart's 30-year history.
The only other artists with more are Red Hot Chili Peppers, who lead everyone with 13 number-ones, followed by Green Day and Linkin Park with 11 and Foo Fighters with 10.
"Ready to Let Go" is the lead single from Cage the Elephant's new album Social Cues, due out April 19. They'll be supporting the record on a co-headlining tour with Beck, kicking off in July.
