Alternative Music’s Finest, Ranked Weekly
The iTunes Top 100 Alternative Songs Chart is your weekly window into music that refuses to play by the rules. Updated every week, this chart ranks the 100 best-selling alternative singles on iTunes, spanning indie rock, post-punk, dream pop, shoegaze, emo, and the restless genre-bending that has always defined alternative music at its best.
Alternative music earned its name by existing outside the mainstream — but today’s alternative is tomorrow’s pop. Artists like Arctic Monkeys, Hozier, Billie Eilish, and Tame Impala all found their footing on alternative charts before crossing over globally. That pipeline of credibility-to-mainstream is what makes this chart one of the most exciting places to discover what will be huge next.
Whether you’re building a playlist that skips the predictable or just want to find your next favourite band, the full iTunes Top 100 Alternative Songs chart, updated this week, is right below.
