Jack White scores seventh No 1 hit with ‘Archbishop Harold Holmes’

The breakout success lands White at the top of the US radio charts

Jack White has ascended to No. 1 on the Mediabase Alternative Top 40 chart this week with the breakout hit single, “Archbishop Harold Holmes.” One of the indisputable highlights of White’s fully independent 2024 Grammy Award-nominated Third Man album, No Name, the track marks White’s seventh No. 1 success at US radio as well as the first time he has scored two consecutive No 1’s with singles from the same album following last year’s “That’s How I’m Feeling.”

The chart-topping success of “Archbishop Harold Holmes” follows the excitement surrounding last week’s surprise premiere of the track’s electrically charged official music video. The clip was directed by Gilbert Trejo and features a ferocious performance by legendary actor and renaissance man John C. Reilly as the ecstatic, impassioned titular character.

White’s most recent album, 2024’s No Name, is available now via Third Man Records. The acclaimed collection was honored with a 2025 Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Album – White’s 34th solo career nomination and 46th overall, along with 16 total Grammy Award wins. True to his DIY roots, Jack White recorded No Name at his Third Man Studio across 2023 and 2024, pressed it at Third Man Pressing, released it via Third Man Records, and celebrated its arrival with surprise shows and sold-out pop-up dates around the world before launching the No Name Tour and commemorating it with the No Name Live EP, now available on all digital platforms.

Having recently travelled North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Japan with his sold-out No Name Tour, White returns to the road this summer for headline festival performances at festivals including Back Cove Music & Arts Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Riot Fest, and CBGB Festival.
