Last week, Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear’s “my ex’s best friend” came within 1 spin of the #1 spot on the Mediabase alternative radio chart.<\/p>\n

This week, it should formally claim the throne.<\/p>\n

The collaboration received 2,556 spins during the first six days of the February 28-March 6 tracking period. Up 3% from the count at this point last week, the tally slots “my ex’s best friend” at #1 on Mediabase’s building\/real-time chart.<\/p>\n

“my ex’s best friend” does not have a massive lead over Cage The Elephant’s building #2 “Skin and Bones (Mix 2020)” (2,468 spins), but it has a clear momentum advantage. Whereas it is up 3% from last week’s mark, the Cage The Elephant song is down a few spins. Barring a massive shift in trajectory on Saturday, “my ex’s best friend” should close the week at #1.<\/p>\n

Should it hold, “my ex’s best friend” would be the second #1 for both artists. MGK recently topped the chart with “Bloody Valentine,” while blackbear enjoyed a lengthy stint at #1 as part of All Time Low’s “Monsters.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“my ex’s best friend” will likely claim #1 on this week’s alt chart.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":143790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[8854,4053,14096],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nMachine Gun Kelly & Blackbear's "My Ex's Best Friend" Headed For #1 At Alternative Radio<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Last week, Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear's "my ex's best friend" came within 1 spin of the #1 spot on the Mediabase alternative radio chart.
