^ And with the exception of WZRH, all were playing it beforehand. The same thing happened when Nirvana was put back as a current.

Yeah this song was viral back in like 2019/20. Not sure why it was placed back as a current now.

This is overkill. Kate made perfect sense, Metallica made sense. Nirvana was a bit belated & the song was already an alt staple, but you could make an argument. This is just dumb

With the BDS/Mediabase transition happening, it looks like we'll eventually be seeing this on Billboard again soon. Audacy are also currently trying to make Something in the Way and Kilby Girl happen again, with WNYL adding the latter this week.

"The Less I Know The Better" was destined to be one of those songs that more people aren't going to know until later. It had small chart action when it was fresh despite that it was already becoming one of Tame Impala's most iconic songs. And even though it does feel too late to give it a second wind, I can't really say I mind this and I'm anticipating for if or when it comes back on the Alternative Airplay chart proper. Better late than never, I guess.

Well, such much for me thinking that this song was going to make an imminent return to the Billboard alternative chart. It had a good second wind while it lasted though.

There seriously needs to be a better way for Mediabase to handle recurrents because at this rate this will spend close to or over half a year on the charts because of the two consecutive negative bullet rule and the holiday freeze. The fact that this is still on in the first place, is still ridiculous.
(Technically this would've been recurrent a few weeks ago but Mediabase decided to negate the weeks it was on as a current initially and started its run anew from week 1 this year.)

Still gaining post 2022.

Is there a way iHeart and Audacy (since they're the main culprits) realize that this needs to really go? For Mediabase to keep their mess for over half a year is ridiculous.

I will out another culprit: WGMP Montgomery AL, who move it from 32 to 37 plays, their #1 most-played "current". I am proud of my local Alt, though; they'd had it in Gold rotation since it first came out, and didn't play it more because of this random nonsense.

Time to have a Beatles song go recurrent or something, I guess.

Minority opinion, but I'm glad that this is defying all the obstacles. Me too. In this new radio landscape where all bets are off, I am happy this is one of the older tunes getting the resurgence and recognition it deserves.

My take is it's a great song, but just give it heavy gold spins. No need to resurface it on currents charts. I guess Billboard made it ineligible as a current since it hasn't shown up there despite being pushing top 20 on Mediabase.

I guess Billboard made it ineligible as a current since it hasn't shown up there despite being pushing top 20 on Mediabase. This is my opinion on the issue as well. I love the song, and it's definitely nice to see it get more attention compared to 7 years ago. However, what I have an issue with is stations still beating this (and recurrents) every few hours for months because of PDs thinking listeners want to listen to the same songs over and over again without considering heavy burn. And even more so, the bigger issue is Mediabase's stupid "two consecutive negative bullet" rule. This song has clearly peaked (for real), why is there a need for this to continue staying on the charts? At this point this is wasting a space of a newer song. Just kick songs out if they've clearly peaked following 20 weeks or falling below #40 or #30.

Ok, its time had probably come. But while I’ve seen a couple suggestions that a song like this just receives high gold airplay—that’s kind of what was already happening. We had conversations about how if there were no recurrent rules, songs like “Teen Spirit”, “Song 2”, “What I Got”, and several others would have basically spent the entire 2000’s around the 20-30 range of the chart, and that’s where Tame Impala was for most of its chart run. If it never made it that high as a current, I have no problem with it being classified as current until it runs its course, which it clearly has. I think it was handled perfectly—it even fell off the same week as he came in as a guest on the new Gorillaz track.
