A Perfect Circle Soars Back to the Top with 'Starless'

By Jason •
After 23 long years, A Perfect Circle reignites their legacy with a new #1 hit, proving they’re far from done.

In a triumphant return to the charts, A Perfect Circle has reclaimed their crown as 'Starless' ascends to the #1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, marking a glorious milestone in their nearly three-decade-long career. This marks the band’s first chart-topper since the early 2000s, reigniting the flames of creativity and passion that have defined them since their inception.

Released on May 27, 'Starless' dominated the airwaves for two consecutive weeks, a feat not seen since their 2003 hit 'Weak And Powerless.' The resurgence of A Perfect Circle signals not just a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans, but a bold statement of their ongoing relevance in the heavy music scene. As the track climbs to the #10 spot on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, it's clear that the band's impact is as potent as ever.

This resurgence comes at an opportune time, as A Perfect Circle gears up for a new chapter, following 'Starless' with the single 'To Whom It May Concern.' This marks their second release of 2026 and hints at a prolific year ahead. With a sprawling North American tour on the horizon, this is the moment for fans to rally behind the band and witness their evolution firsthand.

Sean Heydorn, SVP at BMG, commended the band’s enduring legacy and the fresh energy they’re channeling into their music. “A Perfect Circle is still crafting impactful moments nearly three decades later, and their return to #1 shows that fans are not just revisiting their past, but engaging with their present,” he stated, underscoring the significance of their recent achievements.

With an extensive tour kicking off in November across Latin America, Australia, and beyond, A Perfect Circle isn’t just back—they’re here to reclaim their throne. Fans can expect a lineup that includes Puscifer and The Cult on select dates, making this a must-see event for metalheads everywhere. Tickets are flying fast, so don’t miss your chance to experience the thunderous return of one of rock’s most enigmatic forces.
