Billboard Alternative Songs - Imagine Dragons (4) September 29, 2018

I decided to post the Billboard Alt Charts for September 29th 2018  so i can share my opinions on it rather than wait til next week. I have enjoyed Alternative Music since the local station KPNT in St Louis came about in February of 1993. Most of my fav tunes came from this genre...
So without due, here are the songs we're saying goodbye to this week.

Badflower - Ghost [#39]
Just Loud - Electrified [#35]

Badflower - Ghost This song dropped out too soon like "Happy Man" by Jungle and "Ohio" by Andrew McMahon In This Wilderness did.  Hope it gets back in ..Pretty good song here

Just Loud - Electrified This knock off of MGNT surprisingly made it to #26 b4 it starts to drop.. it doesn't have the right hooks to make sound different..glad its done here

This Week's Entrys:

~ Hozier f/ Mavis Staples - Nina Cried Power This artist is back with a powerful tune he collaborates with Mavis Staples of the famed gospel family The Staples. I say its better than his smash hit "Take Me to Church"..and most definitely better than his last single "Something New"... I can see it in the top 3,  let alone a #1

Mumford & Sons - Guiding Light Marcus Mumford and his "sons" is back for the first time since "Ditmas" back in 2015. This week's highest debut is a wonderful tune. It's no "Little Lion Man", "I Will Wait" or "The Wolf" but it stands on its own. I can see this in the top 10, maybe top 5.

Top Debut of the week: Hozier f/ Mavis Staples - Nina Cried Power

Now AAA charts YouTube channel airs the countdown in video form. At the end of the video, they recommend a song that may enter in the survey a week or two later

This week's AAA Charts Weekly Recommendation:
The 1975 - Love It If We Made It Major upgrade from "Give Yourself A Try", which was totally weak, let alone the video made me hate it even more. This song's production is much better and i can recommend this to enter next week and may peak in the top 10

Here is my 3 Recommendations for the chart:
Mike Shinoda f/ K. Flay - Make It As I Go
Jukebox The Ghost - Fred Astaire
Mike Posner - Song About You
