Maeson
Marches
To No. 1
Matt Maeson (above)
scores his first Alternative
airplay chart No. 1 with his
first charting title, “Cringe.”
The song leads a historic
top five, as four of the top
five spots belong to solo
artists for the first time in
the tally’s three-decade
existence. Below “Cringe,”
former two-week leader
“Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish
— the new No. 1 on the
Billboard Hot 100 (see
page 7) — dips to No. 2,
while Dominic Fike’s
“3 Nights” holds at No. 4
and Lana Del Rey’s “Doin’
Time” vaults 9-5.
Of Monsters and
Men’s “Alligator” (6-3) is
the only song by a group
in the Alternative top five.
The track concurrently
crowns the all-rock-
format Rock Airplay chart,
surging 4-1 (8.8 million
audience impressions, up
9%, according to Nielsen
Music). The Iceland-based
band lands its first Rock
Airplay No. 1 after achieving
a prior No. 2 best with
“Mountain Sound” in 2013.
“Alligator” now has ruled two
airplay rankings, having
topped Triple A for two
weeks in July.
Plus, as Slipknot’s We
Are Not Your Kind launches
as the band’s third No. 1 on
both the Billboard 200 (see
page 100) and Top Rock
Albums, 12 of the set’s 14
tracks swarm Hot Rock
Songs. “Unsainted” zooms
23-4, followed by “Solway
Firth” (26-8; the group’s
third top 10) and “Nero
Forte” (the chart’s top
debut at No. 11). Slipknot
previously totaled six Hot
Rock Songs entries during
the chart’s decadelong
history, led by the
No. 6-peaking “Snuff” in- —Kevin Rutherford
