ASFOS, Sweater Weather, Radioactive, Habits, Madness, Pompeii, Demons, and Sail all got sent to pop and did pretty well.
In terms of success on pop radio, off the top of my head I think it's
1. Demons
2. Radioactive
3. Pompeii
4. Sweater Weather
5. Sail
6. Madness
The first thing I notice is Kings of Alt-Pop Imagine Dragons slaying. I wonder how OTOTW would have done if it got sent to pop
Habits and ASFOS are still climbing. Both have done better than Sail & Madness though.
I feel like more songs are crossing over to pop from alternative than from any other genre currently.
The fact that Madness is STILL top 25 on alternative though boggles my mind 
Yes it's a classic but it is Sail 4.0 
Please
