Yungblud has achieved a career-first with his song "Zombie."

The current single off the English artist's latest album, 2025's Idols, has hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, marking the first Yungblud track to achieve that feat.

Yungblud's previous peak on the ranking was #6, which he reached in 2022 with the song "Fleabag."

"Zombie" is accompanied by a video starring Florence Pugh. Yungblud also released an alternate version of the song in collaboration with The Smashing Pumpkins.

Yungblud will launch a U.S. tour in support of Idols in May.

In case you're curious, the 1994 Cranberries song "Zombie," which has no relation to the Yungblud track, also hit #1 on Alternative Airplay.
