Why is Mr. Brightside STILL on the charts? Watch this short doc on the Killer’s massive hit

November 13, 2018 | Kevin

Here is why ‘Mr. Brightside’ is STILL an enduring hit song, and STILL on the charts. A million people stream this song somewhere every single week…..

The song from the KIllers has been a staple of 2000 alternative music lexicon but it’s rise to prominence has been a bumpy one from never having a second verse, the song debuting at an open mic, and how it would capture an entire generation. Youtube music vlog Middle 8 breaks it all down in a timeline of the track’s lifespan which made the Las Vegas band one of the biggest alt bands of the decade.
