For YUNGBLUD, One More Time is the first top 10 album following four previous charting releases, while it marks Aerosmith's 10th top 10 entry. Their last top 10 album was 2012s Music From Another Dimension!, which debuted and peaked at No. 5.

Aerosmith first reached the Billboard 200 top 10 in 1976 with Rocks (No. 3). The band has since achieved top 10 albums in each decade: one in the 1980s (Pump, No. 5), three in the 1990s (Get a Grip, No. 1; Big Ones, No. 6; Nine Lives, No. 1), three in the 2000s (Just Push Play, No. 2; O, Yeah!

Only five acts have scored a new top 10 in every decade from the 1970s to the 2020s: Aerosmith, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and James Taylor. Aerosmith is the second group, after The Rolling Stones, to achieve this feat.

The five-track album One More Time was preceded by its first single, "My Only Angel", which debuted at No. 1 on Hot Hard Rock Songs in October and recently climbed from No. 7 to No. 6 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated Dec. 6). The single is Aerosmith's 25th top 10 on Mainstream Rock Airplay and YUNGBLUD's first. It also marks Aerosmith's first top 10 on this chart since 2004's "Baby, Please Dont Go" and their highest-charting song since "Jaded", which spent five weeks at No. 1 in 2001.
