Alright, let's play Guess the Song. This song is by a band who only charted once. It was a huge hit, peaking at #7 on Alternative. The lead singer of this band was also in another band that had a semi-hit on the Alternative chart at the turn of the century. I'm guessing The Mars Volta's "The Widow", with the other band/hit being At the Drive-In's "One-Armed Scissor"

I'm betting that's 75% of you guys.

New song!
This hit ended a record-breaking streak that had spread itself out over four years.

Depends on what kind of streak we're talking about here...
Erm, Linkin Park's "Guilty All the Same" for ending their streak of #1 lead album singles since Meteora? (taking a wild guess here)

I never liked "The Widow".
the current song, is it Linkin Park's "Bleed It Out" for ending their 4-year long record consecutive #1s streak with 6 from 2003-07?

If The Mars Volta stopped making all their songs 6+ minutes, they'd get another radio hit. New one! This smokin' hype single managed to get into the Top 30 back in the mid-2000s.

Ok, might as well give it a shot:
This track's brief run on the lower region of the alternative chart occurred more than a decade after the final chart entry for a far more iconic band fronted by the same person.

Can the iconic band have charted again after the track in question charted?
