Alternative Airplay is a record chart published by the music industry magazine Billboard that ranks the most-played songs on American modern rock radio stations. It was introduced by Billboard in September 1988.[1] During the 2010s, the chart was named Alternative Songs and based on electronically monitored airplay data compiled by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems from a panel of national rock radio stations, with songs being ranked by their total number of spins per week.[2]
115 songs topped the Alternative Songs chart during the 2010s.[3] The first number one of the 2010s was "Uprising" by Muse, while the last was "Orphans" by Coldplay.[3] From October 2012 to February 2013, Muse's song "Madness" topped the chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks, breaking the record for the most weeks spent at number one by a song in the chart's history.[4] In 2017, "Feel It Still" by Portugal. The Man broke this record by topping the chart for 20 weeks.[5] The American band Cage the Elephant attained nine Alternative Songs number-one hits during the 2010s, the most by any artist within the decade.[3]
