Mediabase Alt Top 30 (07.29-07.30.2023)

Mediabase Alt Top 30 (07.29-07.30.2023)

From the 07.29.2023 Saturday Mediabase Alternative Update.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The announcement that AllAccess will be closing its doors on August 15th is a painful one. This site is where I got my Mediabase Alt 30 numbers from, especially the decision to insert recurrents into the chart that fit the criteria (4 bonus weeks if song is 40 weeks or less, and unlimited if song is still in top 10). The format may be slightly altered due to AA’s closure.

Chart Notes:

  • Cannons debut.
  • Fall Out Boy’s Hold Me Like A Grudge [+3] for Leap Of The Week.
  • Post Malone [-4] for Loser Of The Week.
  • Will Foo Fighters keep hold of #1 for the 12th week in a row? Or will Pierce The Veil or The Dirty Heads snap their streak?
