List of Billboard Alternative Airplay number ones of the 2020s

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. Introduced in September 1988,[1] the chart is based on airplay data compiled from a panel of national rock radio stations, with songs being ranked by their total number of spins per week.[2] Stations on the panel are electronically monitored by Mediabase, who replaced Broadcast Data Systems in this capacity beginning with the chart dated November 12, 2022.[3] The first number-one song of the 2020s on the chart was "Orphans" by Coldplay.
