Young the Giant Earn First No. 1 Alternative Airplay Hit With “Different Kind of Love”

Young the Giant has earned a major milestone with their latest single, “Different Kind of Love,” reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart.

The achievement marks the band’s first-ever chart-topper on the Alternative Airplay ranking. Before this, Young the Giant came closest with the singles “Superposition” and “It’s About Time,” both of which peaked at No. 2.

“Different Kind of Love” serves as the lead single from the band’s newly released album, Victory Garden, which arrived earlier this month.

The band is also preparing to hit the road for a U.S. tour beginning May 24 in Las Vegas. Cold War Kids will join the tour on all dates, while support from Almost Monday or KennyHoopla will vary depending on the show.
