'''2018''' was a banner year for [[Weezer]]. After touring with the [[Foo Fighters]] in a big stadium tour, Weezer ended up on a strange journey involving a fan's request for the band to cover Toto's "[[Africa]]" that went viral on social media, which catapulted the band back into the mainstream. Weezer's remake garnered them #1s on two of Billboard's charts - Rock Airplay (their first ever) and Alternative Songs (their first in ten years.) The success of "Africa" also resulted in an entire skit devoted to the Weezer fandom on ''Saturday Night Live'' in December, starring Leslie Jones and Matt Damon.
