I actually really like the song. My local AAA-ish station played it today and it sounded great on the radio too.

RENEGADES - X AMBASSADORS IS A BANGER www.isitabangr.com/songs/2889Whatever that link was it didn't open for me, but I do not get a cool , heavy metal ,head banging sensation from this song. The only thing I get; is a strong desire to change the station, so I wear my "Renegades" dislike pin with pride.

At the rate it's going, this should be #1 in less than a week. Another crazy +73 gain today. Maybe the On The Verge spins will all bleed out at the same time and it will fall quickly, though using Stolen Dance as the blueprint, I'm not so sure that's a possibility. I'm more curious to hear their upcoming album, I really enjoyed Jungle and am currently digging Unsteady along with this. I like their sound but don't necessarily think it deserves this level of massive Alt radio success.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but I think the reason for the payola was bc the lead singer of Imagine Dragons apparently pushed this to radio personally

they're both (X Ambassadors and ID) signed to the same label and this song had the On The Verge deal which has massively helped, but that would be interesting if it's legit.

And I know Alex Da Kid signed him to his label because Dan Reynolds of ID heard "Unconsolable" on the radio and talked to Alex about signing them, which is why I wanted to ask and make sure it wasn't just crossed wires between a couple of separate stories.

Unless someone or something huge pops up out of the blue, that's the only thing preventing this song from having a long run at the top.

RENEGADES - X AMBASSADORS IS A BANGER www.isitabangr.com/songs/2889Actually, a lot of the songs on the alternative chart are bangers too. Here are the ones which aren't bangers (based on last week's chart) Black Sun Believe Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf) Don't Wanna Fight Peaches What Kind of Man Flashed Junk Mind Do I Wanna Know is also not a banger. As for Active... Only the aforementioned Hollow Moon isn't a banger. Can't tell for Rock the Blues Away though as I think the website uses music from Spotify and AC/DC's music isn't available there.

Oh so ID's lead singer pushed for this? Reason enough for me not to like them.

Now watch the money bleed out as this falls back down Or spend 10 weeks + at #1 (hopefully not even though I like this, but I want Muse to return to #1 or 21p to get their first #1)

This is a great song, but I hope it doesn't spend too long at #1 so twenty one pilots can take over. I don't know what will take over after that. I'm hoping The Wolf regains its huge bullet once Believe starts falling hard again.

I assume Muse's Mercy will go #1.
I'd much rather this go #1 than Twenty One Pilots, one of the worst groups\bands of this decade. They are like the new Simple Plan.

TWP will go #1 for at least 2 weeks in July, Mercy will get #1 by the end of July/Early Aug

Just let them have their success, it really is a good song. See, I'd agree with you there if this was actually a good song. I've said this before, but this is the most blatant case of a payola'ed #1 since "Royals". I honestly wouldn't be able to believe that the target Alternative audience likes this song THAT much; I haven't seen anyone talking about this let alone liking it. Also, congrats to this for being the worst Alternative #1 this year. And to think the #1s were steadily getting better....
