Still more Alternative than half of what's on the chart.

I wonder if their label will try a pop crossover with this. It might not do much, but I think it is definitely worth a try.

There's still a decent chance this replaces "Fever" at #1 here too, and Alt #1s these days have a decent success rate on pop (although nowhere near as good as about a year ago)

Could this squeeze in at #1 before "Riptide" reaches the summit? I listened to it yesterday and I feel it fits in perfectly on Alt.

I meant I think "Dangerous" fits in perfectly with Alt. That thumping bassline is infectious!

This is surely taking the #2 spot from "Fever" by tomorrow's update and maybe squeeze in a week or two at #1 following Bleachers. Hope that this can at least stay at the top spot for a while before "Riptide" (which I can't stand) inevitably does.
And no, this is not "too poppy" for alternative

Green Baron believes that name is more important than quality. We've had this argument in many a thread.

To be fair, Green Baron hasn't watched the same acts get hits for dozens of years like we have.

LOL I honestly didn't mind that, as I love all of those bands. There are some new names that I don't mind seeing at #1, but I'd like to see the old names reach the summit again.

Disturbed's last top 10 hit was in 2009. So it wasn't as long ago as you may think.

I wish we had a bit more of a turnover rate this year. I hated seeing "Fever" hit more than 10 weeks :/
Is change coming again to Alt. with the panel changes?

Active is too fast, Alt is too slow.
We need a balance.

This will also help with the problem of overplaying songs to the point of becoming an annoyance, it'll preserve the integrity of the music while attracting more of a broad audience. We need this. These indie/echo-y style songs were fine at first. But listen to every. single. #1 this year. they all have that echo/some sort of voice distortion
