Radiohead’s “Let Down” Becomes Their Fourth-Ever Hot 100 Hit, 28 Years After Release

Radiohead’s OK Computer album track “Let Down” has charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, making it their fourth-ever hit on the chart. Its resurgence follows a viral TikTok moment that accumulated off the back of a handful of TV and film syncs, including The Bear’s Season 1 finale, as Stereogum notes. It is the band’s first Hot 100 hit since “Nude,” in 2008; before that, they debuted with “Creep,” in 1993—still the group’s top clinch to date, at No. 34—and reached the Top 40 a second time with Bends single “High and Dry.”

Radiohead have slightly picked up their activity of late, forming a business entity in March and surprise-releasing a live album, Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009), this month.
