Happy Monday! Hope you had an amazin’ weekend! I’ll unpack this week’s Mediabase Alternative chart and get you the highlights you need to know, including 4 new chart debuts. The Beaches “Blame Brett” is really buzzing and leads the pack on the Top 5 New Music Discovery Picks Of The Week and is now pushing Top 30 on the chart. KROQ/Los Angeles just announced the lineup for “Almost Acoustic Christmas.”

Speaking of KROQ, so sad to hear that former longtime air personality Dusty Street passed away over the weekend. More holiday concert news with KMYZ/Tulsa announcing “The Edge Christmas Concert.” You can find all the details in The Latest Alternative News. Music Info: blink-182 announces a big tour for 2024 and Vacations announce their new album. We kickoff the first day of the week with KTCL (Channel 93.3)/Denver PD Nerf sharing his “Famous Firsts.” It’s a busy start to the week and it’s all below in your your Monday edition of the all-new #HAPPENS Alternative VIP Newsletter. Tomorrow (10/24) the new Green Day single “The American Dream Is Killing Me” arrives via Crush/Warner.
