It's so awesome that this is happening for them. Nathan Willett must be over the damn moon.

They kind of sound like a modern day J Geils Band. Don't know why it took me so long to check this one out, but I like it. The chorus is the best part on this song. Any particular song, cuz I sure don't hear any similiarities to "Centerfold" ,"Freez-Frame", "Angel In Blue", Love Stinks" ,"Come Back",nor "I Do", but I guess I've done some headscratching, comparisons between artsist, in the past myself? No particular song in mind, but it just seems to have the same energy they use to give off.

CWK and the J Geils Band? Maybe the vocals are similar (in some songs), but the songwriting between the two is like night and day - the J Geils Band is the kind of "rock" Alternative was trying to get away from, more like 5 Seconds Of Summer

I can't belive I'm saying this, but I hope this goes #1 just so it slaughters the hell out of "Renegades"

I thought Beck or 21P could save Alt but damn. I don't even like this song but I'm forced to root for it to kill Renegades. It's literally played so much I've almost given up on my own Alt station and just put in a CD whenever it comes on.

I remember being surprised when this song was going to hit the top 10. This is borderline insane.
All power to Alt for finally recognizing CWK, though, especially with it being the song to (eventually) take out "Renegades".

I had my hopes for a scenario where all 3 of them could hit #1 but, well, there went "Renegades"' 10-week reign to soil everything

This and Ex's and Oh's are so close, one of them could hit #1, then the other could jump it to #1, then the first one could jump back, etc. - also, Billboard might have a different #1 than Mediabase

Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind, and Brand New all release new singles that rocket up to the top and get blocked by Renegades.

Now just 1 spin ahead of Elle King, we'll see which becomes the bigger hit

That's funny, because their bullets are practically the same too (+85 for this and +83 for Elle King) and their audience too (10.945M for this, 10.992M for Elle King). The spin gains and bullet peaks are very similar as well. I wonder how many times they'll switch at #1.

What if one of them is #1 on Monday, the other #1 on Tues, the other #1 on Wed. etc? Do they only count whichever song is #1 on Sunday?

Yupp. All that matters is what is #1 on Sunday when the chart is finalized. It's a rolling chart so being #1 on Sunday means you were #1 for the whole week, even if another song led for 6 days during that week.

1 1 X AMBASSADORS Renegades 2921 3029 -108 12.936 2 2 COLD WAR KIDS First 2787 2691 96 11.028 3 3 ELLE KING Ex's and Oh's 2759 2685 74 10.975
Looks like this will hit the top first (potentially by Friday). The bullet got larger for this and is a little ahead of "Ex's and Oh's" now. My guess is these two will flip flop in the top two positions for awhile. I hope this does the better of the two, but as long as this can at least get an official week at #1 on both Billboard and Mediabase, I'll be happy.

I think it's funny how one station could potentially make this (or Elle King) hit #1 on purpose by playing one song or the other a lot on Friday or Saturday - even one DJ might be able to do it if he/she has a long shift

I'm not particularly a fan of either song that's about to hit #1, but unlike "Ex's and Oh's", I don't dislike this, so I guess all the power to this (although I hope something else comes along rather quickly).
Never really could get into this band tbh.

Should be #1 by tomorrow. I guess you guys could celebrate now? Top 100 in iTunes, and entered Bubbling Under.

I think this will end with at least 4 weeks at #1 on alt, a top 40 peak on CHR, and a top 15 peak on Hot AC.
