As it begins its effort to become pop radio’s next big crossover hit, Walk the Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance” rises to the top of the alternative radio airplay chart.<\/p>\n
“Shut Up and Dance” claims #1 on Mediabase’s official alternative chart courtesy the 2,597 spins it received during the February 8-14 tracking week. Up 98 spins from last week’s count, the total gave “Shut Up” a comfortable edge over Cage the Elephant’s previous leader “Cigarette Daydreams.” That multi-week #1 slips to #2 with 2,360 spins.<\/p>\n
Other key movers at alternative this week include Modest Mouse’s “Lampshades on Fire,” which enters the Top 5 (#4, 1,942 spins) and Robert DeLong’s “Long Way Down,” which goes Top 10 (#8, 1,533 spins).<\/p>\n
While alternative radio says hello to a #1, active rock is still honoring Three Days Grace’s “I Am Machine”<\/p>\n
“I Am Machine” retains its #1 position on the strength of its 2,068 spins.<\/p>\n
The format’s airplay chart does, however, feature some notable movement. Halestorm’s “Apocalyptic” (#4, 1,359 spins) and The Pretty Reckless’ “Follow Me Down” (#5, 1,223 spins) both enter the top 5 this week, while Foo Fighters’ “Congregation” (#8, 1,039 spins) and Sixx:A.M.’s “Stars” (#10, 946 spins) reach the Top 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35063,"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":[3077,3497,3009,3661,3220,3062,2746,1871,2108,3061],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
