Battle Royale: Alter Bridge Edge Out Andy Black for No. 1

What a battle! For three straight weeks, Andy Black's "Ribcage" ruled the Battle Royale Video Countdown, but Alter Bridge's "Show Me a Leader" came ready for a fight in its debut week. Alter Bridge led for a majority of the week, but Andy Black came raging back and actually took the lead during the final hours of voting, before Alter Bridge reclaimed their advantage. By the narrowest of margins, Alter Bridge's "Show Me a Leader" is the new Battle Royale leader, with Andy Black's "Ribcage" slipping to a very close second.

Elsewhere in the Battle Royale Top 10, Lacey Sturm's new video for "Rot" was the other debut at No. 5 this week. Meanwhile, The Virginmarys' "Motherless Land" and Stitched Up Heart's "Monster" finished their eligibility on the Battle Royale by claiming the No. 9 and No. 10 spots in their final week. See all of the Battle Royale Top 10 videos below.

It should be quite the turnover next week, as two Top 10 videos exit, while clips from A Day to Remember ("Naivety"), Against Me! ("333"), Dope ("Hold On"), (hed) p.e. ("Pay Me"), Red Fang ("Shadows"), Slayer ("Pride in Prejudice") and Wovenwar ("Censorship") enter the voting. See those clips along with every video available for voting by clicking on the links in the poll at the bottom of this post. You can vote once per hour through the deadline of Friday, Sept. 16 at 11AM ET, so vote now and vote often.
