Most of Billboard’s radio charts come with names that are fairly self-explanatory. The Pop Airplay chart, the Country Airplay list, and the Rock and Alternative Airplay tally, for example. There are other rankings that are a little less obvious in their titles.
For example, the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. The word alternative is in there, but what kind of music fits onto that register? The rundown looks at the most-played cuts on radio stations that lean toward indie folk, alternative rock, and a more mature singer-songwriter sound. Think of it as an easygoing rock station – one where an act like Mumford & Sons would be welcomed warmly.
The British band scores a new hit on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart this week, and its country collaborator lands one of the most successful smashes of his career as the duet arrives.
Featured on the latest Mumford & Sons album Prizefighter, “Here” is a collaboration between the group and Chris Stapleton. This frame, the cut, which has been out for nearly two months at this point, arrives on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart at No. 30. That’s not a terribly impressive launch point for most acts, but it already ranks as one of the country powerhouse’s most impressive appearances.
Stapleton has now sent five tunes to the Adult Alternative Airplay chart throughout more than half a decade. He first landed on the list with “Midnight Train to Memphis,” which only ever climbed as high as No. 36. The following year, “Tell Me When It’s Over,” a collaboration with Sheryl Crow, brought him to a new low when it stalled at No. 38, despite spending the same four frames as its predecessor. “Here” outpaces both of those tracks, which hit the ranking only a few years into Stapleton’s celebrity.
Another two singles by the singer-songwriter have pushed to even more impressive positions. “Cold” stands as Stapleton’s only top 10 – it peaked at No. 7 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. “White Horse,” one of his most celebrated compositions, galloped to No. 20 in the fall of 2023.
From the get-go, “Here” fits right in the middle of Stapleton’s discography, becoming his third-highest-rising appearance on the Adult Alternative Airplay roster, and it may continue to climb.
Mumford & Sons claim nearly four times as many hits on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart when compared to Stapleton. 19 tracks by the Grammy winners have found their way to the tally, and 15 of them – three times as many as Stapleton’s career total – have broken into the top 10.
Mumford & Sons claims more No. 1s, half a dozen, than Stapleton does tunes that have settled anywhere on the 40-spot register.

At the same time that “Here” debuts on the Adult Alternative Airplay list, it falls on three additional rankings. The collaboration slips ever so slightly – just one spot on each roster – on the Hot Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, and Hot Rock and Alternative Songs charts. The tune settles at No. 23 on the first of those two tallies and at No. 27 on the last.
Three songs appear for the first time on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart this week, and Mumford & Sons and Stapleton land the loftiest entry of the bunch. English rock outfit Muse sees its new single “Be With You” start at No. 37. The ranking is closed out by Devon Gilfillian, whose cut “Hold On (Hourglass)” is new in last place, at No. 40.
