List of Billboard Alternative Songs number ones of the 2010s
Alternative Songs is a record chart published by the music industry magazine Billboard that ranks the most-played songs on American modern rock radio stations. Introduced by Billboard in September 1988,[1] the chart is based on electronically-monitored airplay data compiled by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems from approximately 80 national rock radio stations.[2] Songs are ranked by a calculation of its total number of radio spins per week and its "audience impression", which is based upon exact times of airplay and each station's Arbitron listener data.[2]

115 singles topped the Alternative Songs chart during the 2010s.[3] The first number one of the 2010s was "Uprising" by Muse, while the last was "Orphans" by Coldplay.[3] From October 2012 to February 2013, Muse's single "Madness" topped the chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks, breaking the record for the most weeks spent at number one by a single in the chart's history.[4] In 2017, "Feel It Still" by Portugal.
