These days, album promotional campaigns sometimes only begin when the full-length drops. Thanks to the popularity of streaming platforms and digital download storefronts like iTunes, many major figures in the music industry choose not to share any music from an upcoming project until fans can purchase or stream it in its entirety.
Then there are other acts that stick to a more traditional path, one that involves multiple singles arriving before an album. Foo Fighters opted for the more well-worn trajectory with the group’s twelfth full-length Your Favorite Toy, which arrives today (April 24). The band dropped the set’s first single “Asking for a Friend” more than half a year ago, in October 2025, and since then the rockers have delivered another three hits – “Your Favorite Toy,” “Caught in the Echo” and “Of All People” in 2026 – and it appears that all of that work has paid off.
Foo Fighters’ Your Favorite Toy Launches at No. 1
Your Favorite Toy is an instant No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums chart in the United Kingdom this Friday, which begins a new tracking period. Foo Fighters claim one of five new entries inside the top 10 on the list of the bestselling projects. As Your Favorite Toy enters at No. 1, new releases by Noah Kahan (The Great Divide, No. 3), Ringo Starr (Long, Long Road, No. 4), Demi Lovato (It’s Not That Deep [Unless You Want It to Be], No. 8), and even Michael Jackson (Michael, No. 9) also break into the loftiest tier as well.
