There's a new leader on the RadioMusicDJ Hot Top 100 Chart this week as Seth Mulder & Midnight Run take the coveted Number 1 position with their Rebel Records release, “I'm On My Way Back Home Again.”
The recording moves into the top spot for the week ending October 23, 2026, bringing an end to the impressive two-week reign of Darin & Brooke Aldridge and their Billy Blue Records release, “Come Alive.”
Seth Mulder & Midnight Run have developed a distinctive sound rooted in traditional Bluegrass, combining strong instrumental performances with the rich harmonies that continue to attract fans of the genre.
Their latest chart achievement adds another highlight to an exciting week for Bluegrass music on RadioMusicDJ.
Darin & Brooke Aldridge Remain Strong at Number 2
After spending two consecutive weeks at Number 1, Darin & Brooke Aldridge move to the Number 2 position with “Come Alive,” continuing an outstanding year of radio success.
The Billy Blue Records duo previously enjoyed six consecutive weeks at Number 1 with “It'll Be Worth It After All,” featuring Jason Crabb, earlier this year.
That recording remains on this week's chart at Number 12.
The duo also has “It Can't Be Wrong” at Number 30 and “Your Unfailing Love” at Number 37, giving Darin & Brooke Aldridge four recordings among this week's Hot Top 100!
Their continued chart presence reflects the strong support their music receives from participating radio stations.
Billy Blue Records Enjoys an Outstanding Week
It's another impressive week for Billy Blue Records, which claims three of the Top Four positions and four recordings in the Top 10.
Joining Darin & Brooke Aldridge at Number 2 is Kristy Cox, whose recording of “No Regrets” takes the Number 3 position.
At Number 4, Carson Peters & Iron Mountain make a strong showing with “Hold On Heart.”
Kristy Cox also returns to the Top 10 at Number 8 with “Send The Angels Down,” featuring Jerry Salley.
Cox enjoys additional chart success with “The Wrong Girl” at Number 23 and “Hurricane” at Number 43, giving her four recordings in this week's Top 100.
The label's continued success reflects the strong presence of Bluegrass recordings among the music being selected by radio programmers.

Charles Brady is the founder of RadioMusicDJ, which first launched as Radioactive Airplay in 2006. With a lifelong love of music, Charles has spent decades writing songs and working with artists, record labels and radio while helping connect new music with broadcasters.
In 2019, open-heart surgery led Charles to step back from the day-to-day demands of the music business and eventually into retirement. But retirement hasn't meant giving up the creative side of life. He continues to write songs, contribute to RadioMusicDJ from time to time, and share his thoughts on music and the industry he has been a part of for so many years.
More recently, Charles discovered another creative outlet through art. These days, you're just as likely to find him drawing quirky birds and other whimsical characters in Tiny Perch Studio as you are to find him talking about a new song or what's happening at radio.
For Charles, the tools may have changed over the years—from songs and radio to pen and paper—but creating something that makes people listen, think or smile is still very much a part of who he is.
