It could bounce back to one but given its now Foo Fighters topping the chart and Green Day holding at number two I don’t see it going to number one again. Time for the new radio single!! Is Running getting any radio play at all? If not they should release a new song now.
It's still sitting at #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart for the fourth week in a row (the below is reflecting charts dated April 6, 2024):

"Dark Matter" (7 weeks)

Alternative Airplay (18-10-10-10-9-7-7)
Mainstream Rock Airplay (17-6-3-1-1-1-1)
Rock & Alternative Airplay (6-1-2-1-1-2-3)
Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (46-28-31-31-35-37-43)
Hot Hard Rock Songs (3-1-2-2-2-3-2)
Canada Rock (10-3-2-1-1-1-1)
Adult Album Alternative (Triple A) (39-26-22-19-20-19)

Eh.

One rando’s song rankings are pretty useless to me.

I’m just ready to have this record and begin digesting so I can draw my own conclusions. I have anticipation fatigue at this point.

What happened to the music video? I have a theory that Andrew Watt talked them out of doing the classic of them appearing all old and cringy and convinced them to do something sexier.

Andrew Watt convinced them to hire Sydney Sweeney to drive around in a convertible interacting with billboards of their younger selves

When that Angry video premiered, I immediately thought the blonde was kinda hot.
Ok, very hot. I had never seen Sydney Sweeney before that.

Putting WFS second to last makes me think it may have a cheese factor (seeing as this reviewer put Something Special last and was clearly kind of bothered by it). When Gigaton came out, that hurt acceptance of Retrograde, which is a song I think most die-hard fans will love given time.

Seven O'Clock also have a cheese factor, but its a great song nonetheless, so I wouldnt worry too much. PJ have always been a little cheese, since Black.
