Two songs from Favourite Worst Nightmare hit Bubbling Under, "505" (which wasn't even a single, but charted 15 years after its release thanks to virality on TikTok) and. In the US, this is averted where "Do I Wanna Know?" was their only chart entry on the Hot 100. They had two #1 hits in the UK, "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" remains their signature there but the other, "When the Sun Goes Down", (both from Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not) isn't as well known as "Do I Wanna Know?" (from AM) which only hit #11 back home. Also, their only Hot 100 entry was "Reflektor", which similarly, is not as well-known as "Wake Up".
Arcade Fire's biggest hit on the alternative charts was the #12 "Everything Now", which was the lead single for their lowest-selling and least acclaimed album, and isn't as well-known as "Wake Up" or "Rebellion (Lies)" (neither of which charted). Averted on the main alternative airplay chart where the latter two made the top 10 but not "U&Me". Alt-J scored their first Billboard Airplay #1, on the adult alternative chart in 2022 with "U&Me", a song unlikely to be better known than "Breezeblocks" or "Left Hand Free". "Damned If You Do, Damned If I Don't", All Time Low's only other Hot 100 entry (which it achieved largely through downloads in 2009), is likely going to be even more overshadowed than it was before.
Even with the song subsequently crossing over to pop and beginning a run on the Hot 100, it will likely not unseat their long-time signature "Dear Maria, Count Me In", especially after it blew up on TikTok in the wake of "Monsters" achieving its success.
All Time Low stunned the alternative music scene in 2020 with their collaboration with blackbear, "Monsters", which reached #1 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart and stayed there for 11 weeks, kickstarting a pop-punk revival on the format in the process. "The Last Song", which is nowhere near as well-known as "Secret", "Along", or "Tonight", to say the least. They had three entries on Alternative Airplay: "Swing", "Hell" and. Their Breakthrough Hit "Swing Swing", which still gets quite a bit of airplay, missed the Top 40 entirely and peaked at #60. The biggest hit on their 2005 breakthrough album Move Along wasn't the Title Track (#15) or "Dirty Little Secret" (#9), but rather the #8 "It Ends Tonight", which isn't quite as well-known as the other two. The All-American Rejects avert this on one hand, as their 2009 signature "Gives You Hell" peaked at #4. "Lovesong" and "Down" topped the Alternative charts, yet "Amber" petered out at #13! 311 had two Top 40 hits, but the biggest of the two wasn't "Down", but rather "All Mixed Up" (which peaked at #36, beating out the former by one spot), which probably isn't their second ("Amber") or third (their cover of " Love song") best-known song.
