Aerosmith’s new EP One More Time, a collaborative project with alternative singer-songwriter Yungblud, is more than just another exciting release from the band. The group had all but called it quits after canceling an upcoming tour when frontman Steven Tyler’s vocal cord injuries never healed properly. Fans had prepared themselves to potentially never hear from the rock outfit again, but all that changed after Aerosmith teamed up with Yungblud to honor Ozzy Osbourne at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. The two acts quickly formed a special bond, and in just a few weeks, the One More Time EP was recorded and then released.
As the EP launches in impressive positions on several Billboard charts in America, Aerosmith joins one of the most exclusive clubs in the music industry, one which proves the troupe has rare staying power.
Aerosmith Returns to the Billboard 200’s Top 10
One More Time opens at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, the weekly rundown of the most consumed albums in the United States. Luminate reports that in its first full tracking frame of availability, the short project shifted a little more than 39,200 equivalent units. Most of those were actual purchases, though fans of both Aerosmith and Yungblud also listened on platforms like Spotify.

As the recently-shared EP arrives within the Billboard 200’s uppermost tier, Aerosmith extends its run of top 10 successes into another decade. The band has now reached the space in each of the last six decades, a feat that few artists can claim to have managed.
Aerosmith first hit the top 10 on the Billboard 200 in 1976 and would score just a single placement inside the region in both the seventies and then in the eighties. The nineties and first decade of the aughts were far more successful, as the band racked up a trio of placements between Nos. 1 and 10. Before One More Time, Aerosmith last delivered a set inside the Billboard 200’s top 10 in 2012 with Music From Another Dimension!
Aerosmith Joins Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and James Taylor
Billboard reports that Aerosmith is now the fifth musical act to collect a new top 10 on the Billboard 200 in each decade beginning in the seventies. That roundup also includes The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and James Taylor.

As the One More Time EP kicks off its time on the Billboard 200 at No. 9, the project also debuts on five other Billboard charts, and impressively, it enters in loftier positions on each and every one of them than on the main list. One More Time dominates the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Hard Rock Albums tallies, starting at No. 1. The project narrowly misses out on running the show on the Vinyl Albums list and enters the Top Album Sales ranking at No. 3.
Aerosmith Earns a Third No. 1 Album
Aerosmith earns its third No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums tally. One More Time helps the band double its total number of leaders on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. Aerosmith also reaches the top 10 on the Vinyl Albums list for the first time. The group is up to eight placements between Nos. 1 and 10 on the sales-only list, and now claims a milestone ten top 10 on the Billboard 200.
Yungblud Hits New Career Highs With Aerosmith Team-Up
Yungblud reaches never-before-seen highs on every Billboard chart thanks to his new EP. The singer-songwriter has been growing his fan base in America much more slowly than in the U.K., where he has reached the top spot on several tallies with multiple collections, and his team-up with Aerosmith has clearly aided in his ascent.
