I wouldn't say this is EDM, and this isn't a terrible song, but her pronunciation of "yeah" like "yah" grates on my eardrums.

Yeah, that's really my only complaint too...if that verse was just cut out I'd like this song decently.

I have no idea what this "Sofi Tukker" thing is, and I'm not sure if I want to find out.

Wow that was quick. Still kinda like the song and don't have a problem with this hitting alt, but I'm glad it slowed down a bit. This doesn't deserve to zip into the top 10 either.

Can't say I'm complaining. After multiple listens, whatever redeeming qualities this had were not enough to make up for the irritating Knocks parts.

This song is trash and I'm someone who normally cuts slack to dance songs on Alt.

i love this, but i see it burning on me soon...this is stuck mid-chart just like Always Ascending & Creature Comfort...i don't see it getting much higher than say 20 or so, but i doubt this will die anytime soon either

Okay so I still really love this -- the beat is super infectious and it's hard not to bop when this comes on. At the same time, the more I hear this the more I question how alternative it really is. Like it's far from the poppiest thing alt has played even in the last year don't get me wrong, but I'd rather see this take off at CHR then here (which it looks like it's doing as well, thankfully).

Yeah as much as I love this. It totally shouldn't be on Alt.

My coworkers and I were talking about this the other as it came on WSFS while we were coming back from lunch. They thought the guy driving changed to a pop station, but by the end of the song, they all said they liked it while it didn't sound anything like rock at all.

Great song and deserves to be played on alt radio, where historically has played stuff like The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers.

This is poppier then most of the stuff I've heard by the Prodigy and the Chemical Brother though. Like I'm still divided about how alt this is, but I think that would be a better defense for stuff like Magnets or Down the Road charting. Also this looks done at CHR :(

Except The Prodigy actually had rock influences, whereas this is just bad dance music.

17 19 SOFI TUKKER Best Friend 984 1216 -232 3.56 So this is done. My dad's girlfriend, who's music taste is primarily dance, pop, and hip hop (though she does also like Hot Thoughts by Spoom, proving that it's impossible to dislike that song), played this song in between a bunch of other random stuff she likes, and especially in the context of that I really can't help but question how alternative this is. Like I guess it's not the worst fit for the format, but I just can't imagine many alternative listeners enjoying a dance song being randomly inserted in their playlist. It would be one thing if it only scraped the bottom of alt, but it almost went top 15, which just amazes me. If nothing else I guess that's more logical then Sober Up going top 3 (and possibly even higher O.o) though. Also: I'll predict this going top 20 on alt with a fairly quick rise and fall ala Down or This Girl, and top 30 on CHR. Fuc king called it (think it scraped the top 20 on CHR but everything else is correct).
