Twenty One Pilots’ “Shy Away” Reaches #1 At Alternative Radio In Just Its Third Week

“Shy Away” is already the biggest song at alternative radio.

That was fast.

In just its third week on Mediabase alternative radio chart, twenty one pilots’ “Shy Away” officially earns #1.

Enough for a two-place lift from last week’s position, “Shy Away” received ~2,997 spins during the April 18-24 tracking period. The format-leading count tops last week’s mark by 542.

Imagine Dragons’ “Follow You,” which topped last week’s chart (and got to #1 rather quickly in its own right), slides to #2 this week. Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear’s “my ex’s best friend” concurrently dips one place to #3.

Weezer’s “All My Favorite Songs” and AJR’s “Way Less Sad” hold at #4 and #5, respectively.
