142. The 1975 - UGHPK: 35Wks: 13Album: I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of ItTrack: 3Genre: Indie PopThis is possibly my favorite Indie Pop/Rock; band, charting on Alt this year. This song sounded taylor made for the Poptart top 40, but as far as I know; never charted there? It would be crazy; for me to let a great, Poptart song, go to waste, so I decided to give it some nice chart action. I've also seriously been thinking of giving "Somebody Else" a second chart run, since it's doing so well on Alt.

141. Blink 182 - She's Out of Her Mind PK: 27Wks: 4Album: CaliforniaTrack: 3Genre: Alternative Pop PunkIn just 4 short weeks; this jam is already on my #27 slot. I smell a future #1 in the works? Not only; on my chart, but ;its already top 10 on actual Alternative charts....and rising. For me; it's the fact; that it sounds so much like, my favorite Blink 182 song ever, "All The Small Things". The music video also does wonders for me. I've decided to include the three different art sleeves I made for the song.Alt sleeve #1. Alt sleeve #2. Alt sleeve #3.

That's it for tonight. I should be into the top 100 songs of 2016, by Friday. Also feel free to comment on art. Like? No Like? Too Cheesy? Just enough Swiss?

150. Rick Springfield - Light This Party Up Glad to see I'm not the only one who digs Rick-2K. His 2008 album Venus In Overdrive is great start to finish! You'll see a different 2016 song of his on my countdown soon.141. Blink 182 - She's Out of Her Mind Thank you for sharing all three alt sleeves! I think I need a cold shower...

140. The Wind + The Wave - Grand CanyonPK: 34Wks: 10Album: Happiness is Not A PlaceTrack: 3Genre: Folk Pop(not folk hop)I'm probably one of the few on Rock boards who charted this. It has a lot to do with the female lead's vocals, but this song is also very catchy with the guitars and chorus. Everytime I think of sending it recurrent it gets a higher peak on my chart

139. The Royal Concept - FashionPK: 35Wks: 12Album: SmileTrack: 3Genre: Indie Pop RockBack in 2013 I was charting a lot a songs from this band. "Gimmi Twice"; which was a top 5 hit on my chart; is my favorite song from them so far. This year's "Fashion" had a Indie Psychedelic ; vibe, to it, with a bit of a pop twist to it. It should have fared better on the actual Alternative charts.

138. Demi Lovato - Stone ColdPK: 34Wks: 11Album: ConfidentTrack: 5Genre: Pop Ballad...and here is Demi Lovato's second appearance on my year end chart. This one really showcases her incredible range in vocals. She also co wrote it. I always preferred this live video version, because of the emotion; she portrays, as she sings ,the song.

137. Duran Duran - Cinderella RidePK: 33Wks: 10Album: Paper Gods (Target exclusive edition bonus track)Track: 14Genre: Alternative PopI got my Copy of "Paper Gods" from Target; so mine had a couple bonus tracks. This was one of them. It sounded a bit like 90's Duran Duran; more than 80's Duran Duran, but I really enjoyed the overall production of the song. Spoiler: There is still one more entry from the band coming up.

136. El Ultimo Vecino - La Entera MitadPK: 34Wks: 13Album: VocesTrack: 8Genre: Indie Spanish RockOne thing I'm always doing is looking for great foreign songs to chart on my list. I love Indie Spanish Rock and I discovered this band on the Argentinian Indie rock charts, but they are actually from Barcelona; Spain. Very catchy track that caught my attention the first time I heard it. I wanna chart more songs from thier album, but this one just keeps getting bigger and bigger by the week.

135. September Mourning - Eye of The StormPK: 33Wks: 12Album: Volume II (September Mourning album)Track: 3Genre: Hard RockAnother female led Rock band that had minor success on the Active rock charts had a bit more success on my chart. Just missing my top 30; this was the first release off their volume II album. I generally enjoyed Volume I a bit more,for songs like; "before The fall", but I did enjoy this song quite a bit.

134. Cage The Elephant - Mess Around PK: 32Wks: 11Album: Tell Me I'm PrettyTrack: 2Genre: Alternative RockHere is a song that got quite a bit of slack on the rock boards. It wasn't a bulls eye; as far as CTE, songs are concerned, but it wasn't as bad as some claim it to be. Did it deserve #1 postition on Alt? That's questionable. More like a peak of 10 or 9. It probably also would have gotten less slack on board?

133. The Levity - LevityPK: 29Wks: 9Album: "Levity" singleTrack: 1Genre: Sophisti-PopA late comer to my 2016 chart. It eneded the year at #29, so it could likely return next year. The song reminds me of the Sophisti-pop sounds coming out of Britain; during the 1985-1987 period and I immediately took a liking to the guitar works. As far as I know; the band only has three singles out, but i hope an LP is in the works for the near future.

132. COIN - Talk Too MuchPK: 26Wks: 7Album: "Talk Too Much" singleTrack: 1Genre: Indie Pop RockAnother late comer to my 2016 weekly charts, but I'm glad it has finally made the top 10 on mediabase Alternative charts. It's a great uptempo Indie Pop Rock number, reminding us all of Walk The Moon's "Shut Up + Dance". I hope; it continues, to climb, the Alternative chart in 2017 ;as it will ,on my own chart.

131. Lemon Demon - Cabinet ManPK: 32Wks: 14Album: Spirit PhoneTrack: 3Genre: New WaveGiving credit where credit is due; I actually first heard this song on Fellow Pulse member; wheatsquares33's own weekly chart. It an addicting quirky song; with a strong ,80's New Wave, vibe from bands ;like, The Cars and Oingo Boingo. It peaked just shy shy of my top 30, but spent 14 big weeks on my weekly chart.

135. September Mourning - Eye of The Storm I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that anyone else had heard this song, forget include it on their countdown. I was actually asked to tour with these guys (and girl) but we couldn't do it. You'll see this on my countdown too. HIGH FIVE!

130. Cage The Elephant - TroublePK: 32Wks: 15Album: Tell Me I'm PrettyTrack: 6 Genre: Alternative Rock Here is a song that I really liked when it first came out, but now It's really starting to get on my nerves.It's just sticking around way too long on the Alternative charts. Mainly the top 10. Still; I did chart it for a few months and here it is at #130.

129. Nordic Union - Hypocrisy Feat. Erik Martensson & Ronnie Atkins
Peak: 30Wks: 11Album: Nordic UnionTrack: 2Genre: AOR Melodic Hard RockI like Hard Rock from all sides of the globe. American, Britsi, J-Rock and especially Swedish; who seem to have that mid 80's Hair/Glam Metal sound I love. Nordic Union are a melodic Hard Rock project from Europe. Erik is from the Swedish band; Elipse and Ronnie Atkins is ; of course, from the famous Danish band, Pretty Maids; who themselves have a brand new album out now. I'll probably start charting songs from that album in 2017.

128. 888 - Critical MistakesPeak: 30Wks: 11Album: The Decades E.P.Track: 1Genre: Indie Alternative RockThis is one of the more Alternative mainstream songs of the year. With great lyrics and an immediately catchy chorus; this was a big hit on my charts during the summer of 2016. For some reason the official vid has low volume, so here is a more amped version and with lyrics as a bonus, because they are great.

127. Jimmy Eat World - Sure and CertainPeak: 20Wks: 4Album: Integrity BluesTrack: 2Genre: Alt Pop PunkAnother one of my favorite Pop Punks bands; returned with a brand new album and hit song in 2016. This was a top 10 hit on the actual Alternative charts. It's actually barely starting to take off on my charts, but it should be in the top ; in a few short weeks.

126. The Wombats - Give Me A TryPeak: 28Wks: 12Album: GlitterbugTrack: 3Genre: Indie PopThe Wombats are another band; I have charted quite a few times in the past. "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)", "1996", "jump Into The Fog", "Anti-D"and "Your Body Is A Weapon" have all made my year end charts. This was another catchy Indie Pop hit that was also a big success on the Alternative charts.

125. Warpaint - New Song
Peak: 28Wks: 13Album: Heads UpTrack: 1Genre: Indie PopThis song is still on my charts and just when it looks like it has run out of steam on the Alternative charts and looking to get a second wind on mine. They finally released the MV for it, so I might just keep it around a bit longer.

124. LeBon LeBon - "Life Is A Party (You Make Me Feel Forever Young) Peak: 28Wks: 14Album: Virtual PrivacyTrack: 3Genre: New WaveHere is a song that got yanked from Youtube while it was in action on my charts. The style is very 80's New Wave. There sound is from the New Romantic style of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, ETC.. hence the inspiration for their band name is simply LeBon LeBon from Simon LeBon fame. I have inserted a great song called "Now Is The Time" just to showcase the style of their music, since the MV was no longer avaliable. I will probably be charting this song in 2017.

123. Donkeyboy - HeroPeak: 27Wks: 12Album: LostTrack: 8Genre: Indie Synth PopAnother Norwegian pop band makes my chart this year. It's from Donkeyboy. The same Donkeyboy; who scored my #1 song of the year in 2010 with "Sometimes". That was the year I also adopted the name Dr. Indie. Since most of the songs on my charts were untapped Indie Pop/Rock/New Wave; I decided, that was a good name for me.

122. The Kooks - Forgive & ForgetPeak: 28(for 2 weeks)Wks: 13Album: ListenTrack: 2Genre: Indie RockAnother song by the Kooks scores big on my year end chart. This is a great infectuous, guitar, song. If you liked "Love Me" by the 1975; then this is a song for you. This is also a song; I charted twice this year. Very soon ;the Atlas Genius remix of this song will also show up on this chart.

121. Nothing But Thieves - Wake Up CallPeak: 26Wks: 12Album: Nothing But ThievesTrack: 3Genre: Math Rock (Indie Rock)...and as promised; here is the first song by a major breakout band; on the alt charts this year. Their big number one hit on Alt will appear much later on in the chart, but for now here is another great song of theirs' that was also a big hit on my charts this summer.
