STEVEN TYLER TAKES THE CROWN: Aerosmith Frontman Officially Named #1 Favorite Rock Artist on the Billboard Global 200 Power Rock Chart
Rock history has just been rewritten. After nearly a year of dominance by Bon Jovi, Steven Tyler has officially claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 Power Rock Chart, marking a monumental shift in fan-driven rankings and proving that the 76-year-old Aerosmith frontman still reigns supreme over the world of rock.
The Billboard Global 200 Power Rock Chart — one of the most closely watched rankings in modern music — is determined entirely by fan voting held on the first Wednesday of each month, with the final five spots refreshed through new Wildcard rounds each cycle. This month, the results came in with a roar, as thousands of fans around the world cast their votes to push Tyler past Bon Jovi, ending the band’s 11-month streak at the top.
🎸 “The Demon of Screamin’” Still Owns the Stage
Even decades after Aerosmith’s debut, Steven Tyler continues to defy expectations. From the raw, soul-stirring growl of “Dream On” to the thunderous swagger of “Walk This Way” and “Love in an Elevator,” Tyler’s ability to fuse blues, rock, and raw emotion remains unmatched.
Fans say his recent performances and solo appearances — including his surprise cameo at the “Legends Never Die” concert in Los Angeles — reignited their passion for his music. Social media exploded with hashtags like #TylerTakes1 and #AerosmithForever, turning the rock icon’s name into a global trending topic within hours of Billboard’s announcement.
“Steven Tyler isn’t just a rock singer,” wrote one fan on X. “He is rock and roll — wild, free, and absolutely unstoppable.”
🔥 A Fan Victory, Decades in the Making
Unlike traditional charts based on sales or streaming, the Power Rock Chart celebrates the voice of the fans. Each vote represents a heartbeat of the global rock community — and this month, those hearts belonged to Steven Tyler.
Billboard confirmed that Tyler led by a significant margin, surpassing Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, AC/DC, and Guns N’ Roses. Analysts say the victory was fueled by a surge in younger voters discovering Aerosmith through viral clips and Tyler’s high-energy stage moments that continue to go viral across TikTok and Instagram.
“Steven’s fans are multigenerational,” said Billboard’s senior editor. “He connects with people in their 60s who grew up on vinyl — and with 16-year-olds who just found ‘Dream On’ for the first time. That kind of timelessness is rare.”
💥 Tyler’s Reaction: “It Feels Like the First Time All Over Again”
In a statement posted on his official Instagram, Steven Tyler reacted with his signature humor and humility:
“Well, I’ll be damned. Guess the old rooster’s still got a little crow left in him. Thank you to every wild heart out there who voted — this feels like the first time all over again.”
He ended the post with his trademark line:
“Keep screaming. I can still hear you.” 🎤🔥
🏆 The End of Bon Jovi’s 11-Month Reign
For nearly a year, Bon Jovi held an iron grip on the top of the chart, fueled by their massive 2024 world tour and the 40th anniversary of “Slippery When Wet.” But Tyler’s recent resurgence — marked by renewed streaming numbers, nostalgic features in film soundtracks, and a global fan movement — proved too powerful to ignore.
Industry insiders say it’s less of a rivalry and more of a passing of the torch between legends. Jon Bon Jovi himself congratulated Tyler in a classy post:
“No one deserves it more. Rock on, brother.” 🤘
🌍 A Global Rock Revival
Music historians are calling this shift a sign of a larger rock renaissance. The Billboard Global 200 Power Rock Chart has become a rallying point for fans who want to see classic rock legends celebrated alongside modern stars.
Streaming platforms have reported a sharp rise in Aerosmith’s catalog over the past two weeks, especially for “Cryin’,” “Sweet Emotion,” and “Livin’ on the Edge.” Tyler’s signature raspy voice and flamboyant charisma have found new life among Gen Z listeners discovering his legacy for the first time.
“There’s something about Steven Tyler that feels alive — unpredictable,” said one Billboard analyst. “He represents what rock used to be: dangerous, emotional, and real.”

The excitement doesn’t end here. Billboard announced that voting for the next Wildcard round will open this Wednesday on their official Instagram Story, giving fans another chance to defend Tyler’s newly earned throne.
