Billboard Alternative Songs (BAS) - Imagine Dragons (8) 0ctober 27, 2018

Hey everyone.... This week's Chart had lots of non-movers, Major droppers, Three huge debuts, and Another potential re-entry in the near future. So here is ....
This Week's Exits:

X Smashing Pumpkins - Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) [#40]

Shocked this dropped out this week... like several tunes this year, this could re-enter

X Greta Van Fleet - When The Curtain Falls [#38]

This song did a little better than Highway Tune .... but not by much

This Week's #1 Last Year: 

• Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still [17th week at #1]

This Week's Biggest Jumper:

• Shinedown - Get Up [#32-#35] ↑3

This Week's Biggest Dropper:

• Death Cab For Cute - Gold Rush [#25-#35] ↓10

New Entrys:

Young The Giant - Superpostion 

The follow up to SImplify is a very good tune... Hope this can reach the top 10..maybe its first top 5 since It's About Time

Muse - Pressure

The follow up to recent dropout Something Human sound a lil mainstream... and lil  weak in the production... it may do lil better than its predecessor in the top 10

Weezer - Can't Knock The Hustle

This song is WAY BETTER than Africa ... But still not strong as their classics... Not sure sure if this will enter the top 10

Best Debut: Young The Giant - Superpostion 

AAA YouTube channel's recommendation:

Jade Bird - Uh Huh This artist trys too to be another Melissa Etheridge or K.T. Tunstall and fails in this production... I won't suggest this at all

My top 3 recommendations:

Tom Morello f/ Portugal. The Man & Whethan - Every Step That I Take

Donna Missal -Keep Lying

Kurt Vile - Loading Zones

Can't Blurb The Hustle:

• Not many songs moved up ...only Shinedown - Get Up (35-32) moved up 3... rest of the risers only 1 or 2 

• While there are plenty of droppers...14 songs dropped down including these hefty ones:

TW Song/Title [LW] Total Notches

35 Death Cab For Cute - Gold Rush [#25] ↓10

34 twenty one pilots - Jumpsuit [#26] ↓08

38 Bishop Briggs - Baby [#32] ↓06

39 Mike Posner - Song About You [#34] ↓05

• Its looks like Mike Posner's Song About You gonna be big on pop instead of here....I fear he will be gone next week and not returning back in this countdown

• Hozier goes back up but i feel it is not enough to save Nina Cried Power from falling out next week or two ... 

• Broken by lovelytheband is looks strong enough to stay in the top 10 for the rest of  calendar year as it goes back up this week
