Cold War Kids With Top Hit in 2016

Cold War Kids have had one outstanding 2016 and they’ve capped it off by finished at the top of the Mediabase Alternative year-end chart! Their hit, “First,” coincidently enough finished first on the chart. This is their lone hit on the chart, but we don’t think they’re too upset over how they did on the chart.

Twenty One Pilots had an outstanding 2016 as you already know. Their hits “Stressed Out” and “Ride” finished second and third on the year-end chart. Their most recent hit, “Heathens,” ended up finishing just outside the top 10 at number 15.

Others to have great 2016s include Cage the Elephant with two hits inside the top 13, the X Ambassadors with two top 14 hits and Weezer with multiple hits in the top 40.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 list…
