As of now, they are a one hit wonder band. Stressed Out isn't even 1/3 of the hit Pumped Up Kids was (yet anyway), so the bold talk is premature. And them already having an album prior to this doesn't automatically make them bigger. It's more impressive to me Foster were able to break big with their debut album (after hugely successful buzz EP and massive touring success/acclaim). I'm sure if they had a mediocre performing album before Torches, it would be experiencing late gains due to new album too. That's natural, with the new exposure.
Also much like you and others have stated that Tear In My Heart and other songs could break through, Foster was the same with Houdini, CIWYW, etc. Most of their other singles were expected to be sent to radio or naturally picked up from their impressive Spotify performance and general interest, but it didn't happen. 21P may luck out and have Pop instantly pick up something else, but there's no guarantee.
Same boat right now, until Blurry reaches Platinum and beyond plus garners more hits.
AND they have Jimmy Fallon tomorrow
