After nearly a five-year gap since their last Adult Alternative Airplay No. 1, Of Monsters and Men returned to the top of the chart with “Ordinary Creature,” their fifth chart leader and second consecutive No. 1 following “Visitor” in 2020. The Icelandic band previously achieved back-to-back No. 1s in 2012-13 with “Little Talks” and “Mountain Sound,” and also topped the chart with “Crystals” in 2015. “Ordinary Creature” is the lead single from the band’s 2025 album, All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, their first full-length since 2019’s Fever Dream. The song also reached No. 28 on Alternative Airplay and No. 21 on Rock & Alternative Airplay charts, following a 14% increase to 1.9 million audience impressions over the past week. The album, released on October 17 via the band’s own label OMAM/Skarkali Records, debuted on the Top Current Album Sales chart following 2,000 copies sold in its first week. (Billboard)
