With her stock continuing to rise, it should come as no surprise that Billie Eilish is attracting considerable attention at alternative radio.

“bury a friend,” her new single, ranks as the format’s most added song.

“bury a friend” landed at 20 Mediabase-monitored alternative stations this week. The support should help the song, which earned a Top 50 position for airplay last week, continue its rapid rise.

AJR’s “100 Bad Days” takes second place on the add board; the song landed at 11 stations.

Each added by 9 stations, Cage The Elephant’s “Ready To Let Go,” Oliver Tree’s “Hurt,” and twenty one pilots’ “Chlorine” tie for third place. “Ready To Let Go” received the most added honor last week.
