“Searchlight” Is Shinedown’s 22nd #1
Shinedown has once again taken up residency at the top of the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated 3/6) with the ballad “Searchlight.”
“‘(This) is a song about owning your true feelings,” vocalist Brent Smith offered. “It’s an awakening of the soul. Lyrically it is a coming-of-age story that celebrates the moment you decide to go out into the world and find your purpose.”

Written by Smith, bassist/producer Eric Bass and Dave Bassett, “Searchlight” is also the band’s 24th song to reach #1 on Mediabase’s Active Rock chart (marking the band’s 24th #1 on the chart).
Shinedown owns the record for most #1s in the history of Mainstream Rock Airplay, which launched in 1981. Three Days Grace sits at second with 20.
“Searchlight” will appear on Shinedown’s upcoming album, “EI8HT,” due May 29th. The set features the singles “Three Six Five,” “Dance, Kid, Dance” and “Killing Fields.”
