New band on Epic; a couple Hot Picks selections on AllAccess that will probably lead into single promotion shortly. They made waves recently after mysteriously sending out cassettes with another song out to people (supposedly all on Fueled By Ramen's street team, but that doesn't quite make sense considering their label affiliation). Something something Halsey. https%3A//soundcloud.com/transviolet/new-bohemia |

No wait, "Girls Your Age" is the one under Hot Picks. I'll scoot this to Non-Singles for now while you all sigh in relief. ;)

1) Sound like Taylor Swift
2) Write "clever", artistic lyrics that have "new" in them
3) Get a hit

This would be a CHR Nitemare charting on Alt.

While I don't this belongs on Alternative, I don't completely hate the song. It's halfway tolerable for me after one listen.

This currently has 110 spins on Alternative, and could chart next week. This can be played on a Top 40 station and when played on its playlist, I may not recognize it as an alternative song. God help us all.

God help us all. F uck. Top 50 on Alternative: 72 50 TRANSVIOLET New Bohemia 127 66 61 0.236 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D  Alright, here's my thing. I have no problem with Pop music. I mean, Shawn Mendes and The Weeknd were the first two #1s on my chart. There's plenty of good songs in the Top 40. Heck, I even think it's kind of cool when traditional pop artists that aren't very alternative cross over to rock charts (like Ellie Goulding or Adele). What I hate are new artists that are trying so desperately to be edgy and indie and alternative, but they're really just CHR material (and not even good CHR material). However, they start charting on Alternative when they aren't alternative in the slightest. I think it started back with Habits (or I Kissed a Girl, if you want to go back that far), then New Americana, both of which were songs I think are actually pretty decent. However, this...is just garbage. There is absolutely nothing I like about it (and that's saying something...I'm usually able to find something positive in everything I listen to). It just seems like an easy, half-assed cash in on New Americana's success that's going to get big just because it's on an Android commercial.
I predict this is going to peak in the lower half of the Top 20 on Alt, then crossover to Pop, and Transviolet are never going to visit the Alt chart again. |

^Word. Whatever it is, let's just hope this gets killed before it breeds further on Alternative. There is literally nothing alternative about this song. It's straight-up mainstream top 40 music. I'll even take New Americana over this charting on Alternative.

"Cool for the Summer" is more alternative than this.

This is still not getting a debut on Billboard and I'm totally fine with that.

I think it started back with Habits (or I Kissed a Girl, if you want to go back that far), then New Americana, you can trace this attempt at deceptive marketing all the way back to Ace Of Base & Right Said Fred |

After hearing seemingly everyone on the board bitch about this song I finally listened to it and yeah...calling it alternative is a stretch. Like moreso then New Americana and maybe even Habits. I actually don't mind it too much but I hope this doesn't make it too high on the charts. The lyrics are pretty poor too but they're still better then the ones of New Americana...

Also, a video was released earlier this month for this pop song.

This is really taking up one slot too many on the Alt chart. I'm happy to say; that I have not heard it on 91x, nor have they added it on to their new music page. There really isn't much to defend this song about. It has 0% alt vibe and Poptart written all over it. I'll give Mediabase and Billboard a dollar if they just make it go away.

which Alt stations are playing this? & how do we petition MB & BB to remove those stations from their panel?
