Why's that? "Tighten Up" is also in the top 50.

Because "Tighten Up" peaked at like #42 on active, and this is already at #48. "Tighten Up" is way more active-friendly than "Howlin' For You"

I just find it strange.. but it's probably because indie rock is at the peak of it's success right now.

You also have to consider two things:
1) Most of the active rock stations playing Black Keys are the cumulus stations, which are really alternative stations in disguise. Why Mediabase continues to list them as active rock is completely and utterly perplexing. The point is, if this is already top 10 on alternative, then it would make sense that these disguised alternative stations that played "Tighten Up" would all have already added "Howlin' For You" as well.
2) Any legitimate active rock stations that played "Tighten Up" probably added or tested the song at differing points during its alternative chart run. Now that they're more established and more stations have played a song by them, they're probably adding them with more confidence early in their chart run, and more at the same time, meaning that it will peak higher with all stations on board at the same time.

It isn't surprising because the Black Keys are a real blues rock group. The format has played Queens of the Stone Age and the like. Also worth noting: I remembered seeing "I Got Mine," the second Attack & Release single, on the Rock chart at the time (a song that didn't even touch alt.). (though I guess it depends on where you cut that one off)

Don't really see any difference between Active playing this and Alternative playing Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay etc.) - in both cases, they're probably the only rock stations in town so they pick up some songs (that no one else is playing) from the other format

4 2 BLACK KEYS Howlin' For You 15 1448 1411 6.601 Nice! I had to look at this twice! I was like "OMFG the bullet's +1411!! When did this explode!??" but then I looked at it again and the bullet was +15 and was placed before the spins from last week and this week.

When did this explode!??" but then I looked at it again and the bullet was +15 and was placed before the spins from last week and this week. I had to do a double take on this myself. I was pretty sure that 1,448 minus 1,411 wasn't 15, and in looking at Mediabase, I was correct (+37 bullet). I wonder where the 15 came from.

Has Tighten Up or Howlin For You reached Top 20 on Active or Rock?

Looks like this peaked at #2.
I'm wondering why this hasn't been sent for CHR adds. I know "Tighten Up" went nowhere on that format, but I think that this stands a much better chance. It's very upbeat and catchy, even kinda danceable, and not too hard. I could easily see it having the same kind of appeal to CHR listeners as Neon Trees' "Animal" did based on those qualities. I know my girlfriend always sings along to this when it comes on, which usually doesn't happen with a current Alternative song. And she's about as typical of a CHR listener as it gets.
