The AltNation radio gods have spoken, and Twenty One Pilots topped the “Alt36” countdown of top music in 2020. It’s a bit of a surprise given the dominance of The Killers and Glass Animals on Alt18 Countdowns throughout the year, but there’s no denying “Level of Concern” was a huge hit and spent 19 weeks on the countdown, including four at No. 1.

Here’s a few “snubs” for the list:

Alt18 No. 1 songs that didn’t make the list include:

• BENEE and Gus Dapperton – Supalonely
• Wallows – OK
• MISSIO – Can You Feel the Sun?

No major slight, though, because all of the groups are on the list with other songs. Foster the People’s “Lamb’s Wool” is possibly the most questionable inclusion. It spent a solid 10 weeks on the countdown, but only reached No. 4. For comparison, Phoenix’s “Identical” was on the countdown for 10 weeks, and Pearl Jam’s “Dance of the Clairvoyant” was on for eight weeks and hit No. 3. And, you could argue Winnetka Bowling League’s “CVS” deserved a spot with 14 weeks on the countdown this year.

A few more candidates on the outside looking in: White Reaper’s “Might Be Right,” Sub Urban’s “Cradles,” and Weezer’s “Hero,” which all hit No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative charts in 2020 and spent time on the Alt18.

We’re back to the regular Alt18 on Saturday, which closes the books on our 2020 list.
