Sublime continues making history with their latest single, “Ensenada,” which is currently spending its sixth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.
The single has surpassed the band’s iconic hit “What I Got,” which held the top spot for three weeks in 1996, making “Ensenada” Sublime’s longest-running chart-topper to date, while also setting the record for the longest run at the top of Alternative radio in 2025.
With over 11 million streams across platforms and over 20 million views on TikTok alone, “Ensenada” has dominated the alternative music scene in 2025. The song marks the first fully original release from the trio since Jakob Nowell — son of founding front man Bradley Nowell — joined as lead vocalist and guitarist, signaling a powerful new chapter in Sublime’s legacy.

“Ensenada” was produced by Jon Joseph (BØRNS) and is the first release from the band’s highly anticipated upcoming new album, Till The Sun Explodes.
“Ensenada” and its ascent to No. 1 was driven by an entirely independent team, without the support of a major label. The single was released via Jakob Nowell’s newly started SVNBVRNT Records, Regime Music Group and distributed by Create Music Group.
2025 has proven to be a landmark year for Sublime. In addition to the breakout success of “Ensenada,” the band has delivered performances at multiple high-profile music festivals across the world. The trio returned home to Long Beach to perform an unforgettable set at the 30th anniversary Warped Tour. Fans were also treated to a rare, intimate acoustic set at New York City’s Silver Lining Lounge, presented by the Lipps Service podcast. In the Summer of 2025 Sublime took over Las Vegas with their event ‘Fear, Loathing and Sublime in Las Vegas,’ a multi-day celebration of music, culture, and the band’s unmistakable impact on alternative music. Sublime also made their morning television debut on NBC’s the TODAY Show.
