Aerosmith Joins Forces with YUNGBLUD on Chart-Topping Single ‘My Only Angel’

A striking shift in the rock music landscape, “My Only Angel” has clinched the number one position on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. This collaboration between rock legends Aerosmith and the dynamic British artist YUNGBLUD symbolizes a fusion of generations and musical styles.

The song not only serves as a significant return for Aerosmith to the forefront of rock but also celebrates YUNGBLUD’s continued impact on contemporary rock music. “My Only Angel” garnered impressive metrics during its debut week, with 2 million streams and 5,000 sales in the U.S., alongside 1.4 million radio audience impressions.

The track introduces the duo’s upcoming EP, titled One More Time, scheduled for release on November 21. The EP promises a blend of new material and reimagined classics, including a 2025 mix of Aerosmith’s hit “Back in the Saddle,” originally a success on the Hot 100 in 1977.

This marks Aerosmith’s first new project since their 2012 album Music From Another Dimension! and highlights their enduring legacy in rock music. Their collaborative single also debuted on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart at No. 37, adding to Aerosmith’s impressive history of 45 chart entries.

The announcement and subsequent success of “My Only Angel” were complemented by a live performance featuring YUNGBLUD alongside Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry at the MTV Video Music Awards, which served as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. This collaboration underscored the song’s thematic resonance and its celebration of rock’s evolving narrative.

In addition to its dominance on the hard rock chart, “My Only Angel” secured positions on the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts, illustrating its broad appeal across rock listeners.

For fans and followers of rock music, the union of Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD through “My Only Angel” not only reiterates Aerosmith’s iconic status but also signals YUNGBLUD’s role in the ongoing evolution of the genre.
