Caption: U2 Breaks 'Billboard' Record With Chart-Topping New Track. U2's new single, "Atomic City," became the band's 14th chart-topping hit, taking the number one spot on the 'Billboard' Adult Alternative Airplay chart. 'Forbes' reports that the new song climbed from the number three position to the top of the chart. According to 'Billboard,' the achievement makes U2 the band with the most number one hits in the history of the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. Previously, the band was tied with Coldplay, which has had 13 number one songs on the chart. Jack Johnson has had 11 chart-topping tracks, making him number three on the exclusive list. "Atomic City" is U2's first number one hit on the chart in over five years, since their 2017 single, "You're the Best Thing About Me." In 1997, the band grabbed its first number one spot on the chart with their single, "Staring at the Sun." Over 20 years later, U2's fan base remains strong enough to propel the band to the top of the charts. Their latest single was released to help promote the band's Las Vegas residency at the newly-constructed Sphere. After helping to launch the venue, the band extended their Sin City residency amid critical and commercial success. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
