Cleopatra (The Lumineers Song)
"Cleopatra" is a song recorded by American folk rock band the Lumineers. The song serves as the title track to their second studio album of the same name. "Cleopatra" was released as the album's second single on March 25, 2016. Background and composition According to Wesley Schultz, lead vocalist of the Lumineers, "Cleopatra" tells the life story of a female taxi driver, named Manana, in the Republic of Georgia. While Schultz's wife was working on her college thesis in the country, the couple came across Manana, who became the first female taxi driver in Georgia. He describes her as a "badass lady - she’ll pick you up at the airport with a cigarette hanging out her mouth and a beer can between erlegs." Schultz was inspired by her realism, in contrast to the false imagery of contemporary Instagram culture. He also admired her lack of self-pity and "willingness to confront life." The song opens with the line "I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress,", which is meant to re ...

The Lumineers
The Lumineers are an American alternative folk band based in Denver, Colorado. The founding members are Wesley Schultz (lead vocals, guitar) and Jeremiah Fraites (drums, percussion, piano). Schultz and Fraites began writing and performing together in Ramsey, New Jersey, in 2005. Cellist and vocalist Neyla Pekarek joined the band in 2010, and was a member until 2018.

Alternative Airplay
Alternative Airplay (formerly known as Modern Rock Tracks (1988–2009) and Alternative Songs (2009–2020)) 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 (then called Album Rock Tracks), 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 (spearheaded by the grunge explosion in the early 1990s), alternative and mainstream rock radio stations began playing many of the same songs. By the late 2000s, the gen ...
