Noah Kahan has achieved a significant milestone, securing the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for the first time with his latest single, “The Great Divide.” The track debuted atop the Feb. 14-dated survey, marking a new career high for the artist.

Following its release on January 30, “The Great Divide” garnered an impressive 19.3 million official U.S. streams, 3.3 million radio audience impressions, and sold 5,000 units in the week ending February 5, according to Luminate data.
