Funny, I was just looking for the 2020 mix yesterday, and wondering why I couldn't find it. Good to know I wasn't missing anything significantly different. Good song though.

This was on my Release Radar today and I thought to myself "What was the point of making this? The difference is hardly anything."

Exactly. I said there was a difference, but I actually had to strain to find it. The “redone” version is two seconds shorter than the album version and instead of repeating the final “let the love light guide me home” three times, the new version only repeats it twice at the end. And I guess something sounds sharper? macattack said on Discord that they saw a statement from the band and they weren’t fully satisfied with it, so they redid it.

This is probably the second worst song on Social Cues but that still means it's better than the vast majority of the Alt chart right now. I'll take this going #1 over a host of other songs - and with the weak spin counts right now (due to the lack of a true consensus song), Cage the Elephant is one of the few artists who can unite this scattershot format. I think this will get the #1 before long.

After listening to the album version and the 2020 mix version I must ask what is the difference? Maybe my ears just aren’t working but they sound the same.

Let’s do the unthinkable, 5 singles baby. Give me “Dance Dance” or “Night Running”.

I personally prefer the More Skin mix to the More Bones mix, just think it's a bit more interesting to feature the Skunk Anansie singer in 2020, though bringing trap metal to Cage the Elephant is pretty bold too. Of course it's the More Bishop Briggs mix getting sent to radio though :\

I thought WWAFAWDWG had just the 4 top 10 hits ('Bad Guy', 'Crown', 'Hell' and 'Friend'), with 'Ilomilo' getting stuck in the 20s. I thought the last one would have been Trench, but that one got stuck on 4 too. I was counting Everything I Wanted since it was a Japanese bonus track, but I guess it's not truly from WWAFAWDWG. I'm even more curious now what the last album would be.

It won't happen but I really hope "Night Running" gets re-released. It's too solid of a song to have quickly stalled around #40 on Alt. Just an infectious riff but not predictable at all. And I feel the Cage & Beck effect about equally.

Quietly this record joins an elite list in the modern alt era to have 3 #1s off an album. FF, KOL, LP, 21P, ID, RHCP 2x. Billie - deluxe version of debut album. Those come to mind

If they don't have new music ready, I think they should just send "Night Running". It peaked at #40 solely on interest when the album came out and never became a single. I think it'd work well as a nice bridge to the next era.

Social Cues is officially one of 11 albums to have 3 #1 hits on Billboard Alternative Airplay. “Skin and Bones” is also Cage the Elephant’s 10th #1 hit.

We should enjoy this song's reign at #1 however long it lasts. This might wind up being the last #1 of its kind depending on how things go.
Social Cues is quietly one of the best alternative rock albums to come by in recent memory - CTE has more than earned the success on radio. They carried the torch for alternative rock for a decade in an age unfriendly to the sound and to rock in general. I hope they are remembered for more than the memetic "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" when they call it a career.

I was (pleasantly) surprised when Jrod82 pointed out that CtE is only the fifth band to land 10 #1s on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart, putting them in company with Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also surprised "No Rest for the Wicked" wasn't their first #1.

I would say while Pearl Jam are my all-time favorite band, Cage The Elephant are my favorite artist from the last 10-15 years or so. And what a long way we've come from when I first discovered them/listened them around February-ish 2009 (probably was late to the party, actually). And they've continued to evolve into the 2020s. As far as hit singles, I think I like their catalogue about equal to their counterparts, at this point. Well deserved.
*Edit* Also, come on, stations, add "Night Running!"
