Goody Grace & Blink-182’s “Scumbag” Scoring Airplay Ahead Of Alternative Radio Impact

“Scumbag” is receiving some early support at the alternative format.

Released to digital platforms in late October, Goody Grace’s “Scumbag (featuring blink-182)” will officially impact alternative radio on January 7, 2020.

Some stations have proven unwilling to wait until the new year.

Over the past few weeks, “Scumbag” has been receiving the occasional look at the format. This week, three stations have been providing support.

According to Mediabase, Seattle’s 107.7 The End played the song 19 times in the seven days ending December 17. Milwaukee’s 102.1 WLUM offered 5 plays within that window, while Minneapolis’ Go 96.3 played the song twice.

As of press time, the main version of “Scumbag” boasts 3.2 million streams on Spotify; a MAKJ remix adds another 450K+.

Goody Grace recently supported Atlantic labelmate Charlotte Lawrence on tour; he welcomed blink-182 member Travis Barker to perform “Scumbag” at the tour finale in Hollywood.
