SiriusXM Lithium April 2026 Charts: Nirvana, Green Day, and R.E.M. Dominate the 90s Airwaves

If you had Lithium on in the car last month, you probably heard a lot of Green Day, R.E.M., and Nirvana — because the data says everyone else did too.

I pulled the most played songs and bands from Lithium for April 2026. Here’s how it broke down:

The Top 3 were a dead heat:

1. “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?” – R.E.M. – 41 plays
2. “When I Come Around” – Green Day – 41 plays
3. “Basket Case” – Green Day – 41 plays

Green Day actually claimed 3 of the top 4 spots, with “Welcome To Paradise” coming in at #4. Rounding out the top 10: Rage Against The Machine, Beastie Boys, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Live, and The Offspring. Peak 90s energy.

Top 15 Most Played Bands – April 2026

The Seattle + Cali takeover continues:

1. Nirvana
2. Pearl Jam
3. Stone Temple Pilots
4. Green Day
5. Smashing Pumpkins
6. Alice In Chains
7. The Offspring
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Foo Fighters
10. Soundgarden
11. Weezer
12. Beastie Boys
13. R.E.M.
14. Rage Against The Machine
15. Live

Nirvana and Pearl Jam still lead the pack, but STP and Green Day weren’t far behind. Basically, if your band peaked between 1991-1997, you had a good April on Lithium.
