“This Is The Way (Feat. DMX)”, the latest single from multi-platinum, chart-topping hard rock powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch, has hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock radio chart, notably landing the Las Vegas-based band their 11th straight No. 1 hit on the chart. This extends the band’s 2023 record of holding the longest streak of No. 1s in the chart’s history.
“This Is The Way” is the first No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for legendary late rapper DMX and his very first appearance on the chart altogether. The single also claimed the No. 1 spot at Active Rock Radio this week, giving Five Finger Death Punch its 16th overall #1 single at the format.
Five Finger Death Punch is currently on tour across Europe for stadium dates with Metallica, stops at some of Europe’s largest festivals, including Sweden Rock Festival, Graspop Metal Meeting, and With Full Force, as well as several headline shows with support from Ice Nine Kills. The band will return stateside for a late summer/fall headlining tour from August 2 to September 19 with support from Marilyn Manson, Slaughter To Prevail, and The Funeral Portrait.
Five Finger Death Punch‘s music video for “This Is The Way” was directed by none other than highly influential filmmaker Hype Williams, a longtime friend and close collaborator of DMX. Hailed by The New York Times in 2024 as “The Nineties Wunderkind,” Hype Williams is known for his seminal work with luminaries like Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, and Jay-Z, among others.
