"My Name Is Human" is a song by American rock band Highly Suspect. It was released as the lead single from their second studio album The Boy Who Died Wolf in 2016. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and stayed there for eight weeks. [1] It is their first number one single. [2] The song is also their highest charting single on the Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Rock Airplay charts, where it peaked at No. 20, No. 12 and No. 7 respectively. The song was nominated for Best Rock Song at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards. [3]
The song was released on September 7, 2016. [4] Said Johnny Stevens of the song, “A lot of people think the song is about being a human. I believe some of us aren’t human at all. Or at least not completely, but that is still our name. At some point in the last couple hundred years something changed. The androids, the aliens...They aren’t coming. We are here." [5]
The music video was released through Vanity Fair on February 23, 2017. It begins in a futuristic setting with a female lifelike robot being assembled, portrayed by actress Chloe Bridges in its final form, and is intercut with Johnny Stevens singing and viewing the robot's features up close. Blue crystal-like formations appear to grow out of the floor, as more robots appear, standing in formation behind Stevens. It ends with Bridges resting her head on Stevens' shoulder while a red light flashes beneath his skin. [5]

"Losing My Religion" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. The song was released as the first single from the group's 1991 album Out of Time. Built on a mandolin riff, "Losing My Religion" was an unlikely hit for the group, garnering extensive airplay on radio as well as on MTV and VH1 due to its critically acclaimed music video.

Alternative Airplay is a music chart in the United States that has appeared in Billboard magazine since September 10, 1988. It ranks the 40 most-played songs on alternative and modern rock radio stations. Introduced as Modern Rock Tracks, the chart served as a companion to the Mainstream Rock chart, and its creation was prompted by the explosion of alternative music on American radio in the late 1980s. During the first several years of the chart, it regularly featured music that did not receive commercial radio airplay anywhere but on a few modern rock and college rock radio stations. This included many electronic and post-punk artists. Gradually, as alternative rock became more mainstream, alternative and mainstream rock radio stations began playing many of the same songs. By the late 2000s, the genres became more fully differentiated with only limited crossover. The Alternative Airplay chart features more alternative rock, indie pop, and pop punk artists while the Mainstream Rock chart leans towards more guitar-tinged blues rock, hard rock, and heavy metal.
