Billboard Alternative Songs (BAS) - Imagine Dragons (7) 0ctober 20, 2018



Hello Guys....twenty one pilots' new album "Trench" debuted in the top 3 in the Hot 200 album charts..hope there are more hits out of it...Well thing here slowed a bit this week and  there is yet another re-entry and two new songs enter this week's countdown.. so now...

This Week's Exits:
X grandson - Blood // Water [#40]
This song just didn't cut it for me... and never made a major dent in the chart

X The Knocks F/ Foster The People - Ride Or Die [#22]
This song was a minor hit due to it followed FTP's Sit Next to Me, at the time it was still in the top 10. Never really reach the same level though

X Walk The Moon - Kamikaze [#12]
Better tune than its predecessor, One Foot, which hit #1...Just never got the push to do better than #6 peak.

This Week's Biggest Jumper:
Bob Moses - Back Down (23-29) ↑6

This Week's Biggest Dropper:
Muse - Something Human (28-37) ↓9


New Entrys:
Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness - Ohio
Another song re-entry due to radio and/or sales resurgence...hope this can do lil better this time around

Smashing Pumpkins - Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)
This week's AAA recommendation enters this week. Billy Corigan and the crews showing us that they still know how to make strong music. ...The production is solid and hope this can enter the top 20 or futher.

Mike Posner - Song About You
Mike Posner returns with this song  with the production that is manageable ...I believe this song can hit the top 20

Best Debut: Smashing Pumpkins - Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)

AAA YouTube channel's recommendation:
Muse - Pressure This follow up to Something Human sounds lil mainstream but i will explore this more when it enters the chart

My top 3 recommendations:
Tom Morello f/ Portugal. The Man & Whethan - Every Step That I Take
The Blue Stones - Black Holes (Solid Ground)
morgxn f/ Walk The Moon Home


My Blurb's Got A F'd Up Head:
• it seem that Muse, who's Something Human is this week's big droppper (-9..28-37) is using their copyright card as terms of YouTube channels using their video. Its starting to become an issue lately...Hope it doesn't mean less video countdowns.

Bob Moses - Back Down is this week's big jumper (+6..29-23) and can try to match or best their highest rank, (#16 with Tearing It Up) in a week or two.

• in our Good News/Bad News segment, GOOD NEWS: Weezer's Africa drops out of the top ten (8-11) as their follow up Can't Knock The Hustle is already gaining radio adds and new video (with Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz as Rivers Wentz) gaining streams....BAD NEWS: seem that  Hozier f/ Mavis Staples - Nina Cried Power has as feared totally lost momentum as it drops two notches (31-33) and could drop out if the downward turn continues.
