YUNGBLUD Ignites Rock’s Rebirth: Explosive New Album Crashes US Top 10, Unleashing an Unstoppable Surge Fans Hail as ‘The Dynasty Reborn’

Rock is roaring back—and YUNGBLUD (Dominic Harrison) is leading the charge. In a year that’s seen British guitar music claw its way from the fringes to the forefront, the 28-year-old Doncaster dynamo has shattered records, stormed charts, and earned a place alongside legends like Bruce Springsteen, U2, and Foo Fighters. With his first US Billboard Top 10 album, three Grammy nominations in the Rock category (a historic first for any British artist), and two UK No.1 albums in 2025 alone, YUNGBLUD isn’t just riding the wave—he’s the tsunami. If you’re searching for YUNGBLUD 2025 achievements, Grammy nods, or the story behind his Aerosmith collab that topped charts on both sides of the Atlantic, this is your unfiltered dispatch: From Ozzy Osbourne’s final words (“Go break America”) to a VMAs show-stealer and a US tour that sold out in one minute, Harrison’s mission to “reignite rock worldwide” is mission accomplished. “I grew up in a guitar shop… on rock music,” he tells us. “The goal was to lean into that love… create an unfiltered, unadulterated rock album.” Raised on tales of The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Ozzy conquering America, YUNGBLUD’s 2025 is the blueprint for the next British Invasion—raw, rebellious, and relentlessly real. Let’s break it down!

From his self-titled 2022 No.1 to the genre-fluid Weird! (2020), YUNGBLUD’s catalog has racked 8 billion streams, 3 million albums sold, and 1 million tickets moved. But 2025? Peak dominance: Idols (June 20, Locomotion/Capitol) debuted No.1 UK (his third straight), hit No.73 Billboard 200 and No.15 Top Rock/Alternative, spawning epics like the 9-minute “Hello Heaven, Hello” and the Grammy-nodded “Zombie” (a love letter to nurses starring Florence Pugh). Then, the bombshell: One More Time EP with Aerosmith (Nov 21, Capitol)—five tracks co-written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, YUNGBLUD, and Matt Schwartz, including four originals and a fiery “Back in the Saddle” remix. It stormed to No.1 UK (Aerosmith’s first ever) and US Rock/Alternative, YUNGBLUD’s second No.1 of 2025. “First number one in the USA and second this year at home… What the f***!” he posted, hugging girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark amid team cheers. Manager Tommas Arnby (Special Projects Music) nails it: “The UK is waking up to guitar music again… YUNGBLUD is the voice of modern rock.”

November 7, 2025: The noms drop, and YUNGBLUD makes history as the first British artist ever to snag three in the Rock categories at the 68th Grammys (Feb 1, 2026, Crypto.com Arena). Idols for Best Rock Album, “Zombie” for Best Rock Song, and his Villa Park “Changes” tribute (Black Sabbath cover, summer 2025) for Best Rock Performance—joining elite company with Springsteen, U2, and Foo Fighters. “Someone told me yesterday that I’m the only British artist to receive three nominations in the Rock category ever, which is just completely unfathomable,” he posted from backstage, laptop glowing amid besties’ hugs. Sharon and Jack Osbourne revealed the noms—poetic, given YUNGBLUD’s Changes performance was Ozzy’s farewell nod. “I’m so lucky to do this. This community and this genre means everything to me.” With Idols as a “rock opera double album” (Part 1 June 20; Part 2 TBA), produced by Matt Schwartz/Bob Bradley, it’s his “limitless” manifesto: Self-reclamation, masculinity unpacked (“a crazy thing to say in 2025”), and Gen Z anthems like “Lovesick Lullaby.” First-time nominee? Check. Eye of the storm? Absolutely.

The catalyst? One More Time EP with Aerosmith (Nov 21, Capitol)—five tracks (four new co-writes by Tyler/Perry/YUNGBLUD/Schwartz, plus “Back in the Saddle” remix), Matt Sorum on drums. Debut single “My Only Angel” (Sept 19) hit Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs; the EP? YUNGBLUD’s first US Top 10 (Billboard 200 No. 8), No.1 Rock/Alternative—his second UK No.1 of 2025 (after Idols). Aerosmith’s first UK No.1 ever; Tyler/Perry’s first new material in 12 years. Spawned from VMA tribute (Sept 7, Ozzy homage with Tyler/Perry), sessions birthed “fierce and tender” fire—”A Thousand Days” ballad aches with “Babe, Heaven’s gonna burn down,” Tyler echoing redemption. Perry: “This kid’s got it… loves rock ’n’ roll.” Complex LA pop-up (Nov 21-22) celebrated; now, it’s the soundtrack to YUNGBLUD’s US conquest.

Summer 2025’s Villa Park (Birmingham): 40,000 roar for YUNGBLUD’s “soul-stirring” Black Sabbath Changes—a show-stealer at Ozzy’s farewell (Back To The Beginning, July). In their last chat, Ozzy urged: “Go break America.” Mission status? Accomplished—VMAs (Sept) Aerosmith team-up opened floodgates; 2026 US tour (May-Jun, 24 dates from LA to Toronto) sold out in one minute. “Insanity… thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he posted, sold-out banners flying. Bludfest (Milton Keynes, June 21, 2025) his sole UK date; April 2026 UK arenas follow.

Born in Doncaster, Harrison grabbed guitar at 2, penned songs at 10—Yorkshire grit fueling a 1M-ticket empire. 21st Century Liability (2018) sparked it; Weird! (2020) No.1 UK debut; self-titled (2022) followed suit. Idols (June 20, Locomotion/Capitol)—double album “rock opera” on identity/hero-worship—his fourth No.1 UK, produced by Schwartz/Bradley. MTV EMA/O2 Silver Clef wins; You Need to Exist book (Penguin, No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller); Bludfest curator. “Raised on stories of British artists like The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Ozzy who went out and conquered America. To be reaching those heights is mad.” Arnby: “He’s the voice of modern rock… essential to the rebirth of rock and roll.”

Currently sold-out NA/EU tour (Idols alive); 2026 US run vanished in 60 seconds. Follow the fire: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | X | Facebook.
