Badflower “Ghost” (Big Machine/John Varvatos) *

#1 Active Rock

Top 20 Modern Rock

In my opinion, this is the coolest thing to happen at Active Rock this year. It’s not easy to get a Rock song played at Modern these days, but Badflower’s “Ghost” has made a fantastic first impression.

Big Machine’s Heather Luke: “I’m so proud of the success of this song at radio and beyond, because we’re all talking about how we feel. The song’s message has resulted in such a beautifully positive experience; we’re connecting, we’re listening and helping one another. The commitment, passion and partnership from radio has been incredible.”

KXXR Minneapolis’ Derek Madden: “‘Ghost’ garnered great listener reaction and stream growth from the moment we put it on. The song has some gifts that reveal themselves over time, including a few jaw-dropping lyrics that come from a raw, intense and completely authentic and emotional place. I believe that’s really cemented the bond with our audience.”
