Twenty One Pilots Hit Top 10 with “The Contract”

Twenty One Pilots have done it again—only days on the chart, and their new single “The Contract” has already climbed into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Alternative Airplay at No. 8. That marks their 19th career top‑10 hit on the chart—a remarkable milestone for a band that’s consistently reshaped alternative radio.

The track bolts onto the charts just weeks after its release as the lead single for their upcoming album Breach, due September 5. Sonically, it’s a dense fusion—nu‑metal beats, hyper‑pop synths, emo whispers—reflecting the band’s genre-blurring ambitions for the final act in their long-running narrative arc. Though “The Contract” fell short on broader rock charts, it continues climbing on Rock & Alternative Airplay—currently at No. 15.

This summer, LFRP spins “The Contract” throughout Fresh Frequencies and Frequency Shift, building hype ahead of Breach‘s debut. With singles like this, Twenty One Pilots show they’re still mastering the art of momentum. Stay tuned—more drops, deeper cuts, and tour alerts coming soon.
