Modern nu metallers From Ashes To New have notched a massive milestone in their careers, with their song "Drag Me" topping the Active Rock Radio chart. The song, which dropped as a single in December, features on their most recent album Reflections. After eight previous charting singles, the band have topped the chart for the very first time.

The accolade comes as one part of a double dose for the band's label Better Noise Music, who are celebrating pop-punk icons Yellowcard and their song "Bedroom Posters," which features fellow pop-punk royalty Good Charlotte, topping the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. This dual summiting marks the first time that an independent label has topped both respective charts.
Better Noise SVP of Promotion and Artist Development Jackie Kajzer offered the following on the achievement:
"We don't take moments like this lightly. Huge credit to our partners at Rock and Alternative Radio for continuing to show up and support these artists in a meaningful way. This kind of support is what drives real breakthroughs. At Better Noise, we develop artists to build long-term careers. It's very rewarding to see our efforts connect at multiple formats at the same time. There's a lot more coming!"
The label's CEO Dan Waite shouted out multiple of his team members and predecessors in celebrating the moment, stating:
"This is what artist development looks like when you work from the end game backwards. Allen Kovac founded this company on this principle, fewer signings, deeper investment, stronger outcomes. From Ashes To New and Yellowcard reaching No. 1 simultaneously didn't happen overnight. It's the result of years of focused development, building real fanbases, and staying committed through every phase of an artist's growth. That model is Better Noise Music's competitive advantage, and we're signing bands who want a label built around that kind of long-term partnership and philosophy. Great work Jackie and the whole Better Noise team!"
