tbh OneRepublic had some Alt smashes on their last album like "Wherever I Go" and "Kids". Some Miike Snow and St. Lucia-styled indie pop. Hell, even "Oh My My", "A.I.", and "NbHD" fit the landscape of Alt. I've only heard the first two but I would disagree about that. I guess I wouldn't have minded seeing the latter scrape the bottom of alt, but that's just because I think it's an excellent song.

I really do love everything about this song. Maybe the lyrical content isn't the best but the production and vocals make up for it. For those saying it doesn't sound like an alternative song, really? The cello, guitar and the drums make it all sound like what it should be, an alternative rock song.

Yeah, I don't get the criticism this is getting for not being Alternative enough. I think the song fits just fine.
It's just that it's not entirely good.

It's interesting what different vibes we get from songs. All I hear, is a happy go lucky dumb silly song with a music video that was the last hammer in the coffin.

2 +1 AJR Sober Up 2985 +28 59 +20 Wow. Oh my god noooooo I never thought I'd be rooting for Imagine Dragons to block someone from #1, but that's exactly what I'm doing now (luckily it looks like it should easily happen).

I could totally see as the new "Take It All Back" of the Alternative section. Man... this is pretty damn awful. Only if it reaches #1, which...I mean, it PROBABLY won't happen, but you never know with the Alt radio listeners of 2017.This is all over the place, and not really in a good way. Still better than "Young and Menace", though. I know, low bar to hurdle over, but... Thanks for jinxing it : p

That is the state of the Alt chart in 2018. (To be fair, at least the ID song is the best from their latest album by some distance.)

Please fire whoever comes up with these OTV deals. Just Nonsensical.

This never got OTV, but yeah I agree. (SwS being a prime example, and then Judah and the Lion before that as well)

#s 1-4 separated by 50 spins is pretty crazy, hopefully Imagine Dragons can take over for a few weeks and block Sober Up on MB, and then Live In The Moment can earn its time at #1 right after.

The Alt chart needs to Sober the f**k up soon. Lol I was going to say this but you beat me to it. Well, it's done folks. No sense dwelling on what's already set in stone. The only thing we can do now is look forward and hope that they are just a one hit wonder.

Side note: since this song looks like it'll be a Billboard only #1, I have to ask how common this is, at least on alt? I know medibase only #1s are fairly common but I haven't seen the inverse much.

This will be #1 on Mediabase alt as well.
2 1 AJR Sober Up 3299 2986 313 11.878 3 2 IMAGINE DRAGONS Whatever It Takes 3248 2931 317 13.412
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
The best I can hope for is that this plummets the chart now that it has achieved it's highest peak.
