"For The First Time" and "Breakeven" too but I think those are not alternative.

As mentioned above, Sing, Waiting For The End, and Closer To The Edge got some plays earlier this year. Stereo Hearts and Lighters are alternative hip-hop, but I don't think that's what you were looking for. Despite there seeming to be only one in a year, Alternative crossovers seem to fare better than R&B. There hasn't been a huge R&B crossover in mainstream radio since Knock You Down, I think.
