EP review: Aerosmith & YUNGBLUD – One More Time
An indulgent yet muscular collaborative project shaped by the fathers, the son and the holiest of rock’n’roll…
YUNGBLUD enjoys his second Number One of the year, meanwhile Aerosmith celebrate hitting the top spot for the first time ever!
YUNGBLUD and Aerosmith’s massive collab EP One More Time has gone straight in at Number One in the UK charts this week.
Impressively it’s Dominic Harrison’s second Number One of 2025 following his brilliant fourth album Idols, but even more amazingly, this marks Aerosmith’s first-ever release landing at the top spot (seriously, how is that possible?).
“No words can express how grateful I am for this,” says Dom. “My second Number One of 2025. Massive love to everyone who supported this record in the name of rock’n’roll.
“Aerosmith has been part of the soundtrack to my life. Thank you to Joe [Perry] and Steven [Tyler] for riding with me – I can’t believe we made a record together! This is the cherry on top of a fucking crazy, emotional rollercoaster of a year. Bring on 2026! Love.”
“Scoring their first UK Number One at this stage in their legendary career is an extraordinary moment for Aerosmith, and doing it with a fearless talent like YUNGBLUD makes it even more special,” adds Capitol Music Group CEO Tom March. “This EP bridges generations, pushes boundaries and proves that great rock music keeps evolving. It’s a testament to the band’s enduring power and YUNGBLUD’s unstoppable momentum. Together, they’ve created a cultural moment – and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate it.”
“Huge congratulations to Aerosmith and Dom on the success of One More Time, which has to be the collaboration of 2025!” continues Louis Bloom, President of Island EMI Label Group. “We are all delighted to see this debut at the top of the charts helping Dom score his second Number One of the year and giving the legendary Aerosmith their first UK Number One. This collaboration is testament to both artists’ incredible passion and creativity and their absolute belief in the enduring power of rock music.
“Dom came into the label just a year ago and laid out his manifesto there and then for the year ahead. Inspired by his vision, the label matched his ambition and enthusiasm and a year later we couldn’t be prouder of the success he has enjoyed in 2025. To watch him grow into a genuine global rock star before our eyes, and to have played a small part in his rise, is a pleasure and a privilege.”
Huge congrats to all involved!
