Rock Sweep: April 20, 2013...

It's time for part two of this week's "chart sweeps" sampling the songs reaching the singles charts in Billboard magazine this week. Right now I've got the latest on rock radio.

On the aggregate Rock Airplay chart, Imagine Dragons stay at #1 for a sixth week with "Radioactive".

Jumping in at #37 is Alice In Chains with the followup to their top-10 hit "Hollow" called "Stone"...

The sole debut here at #39 is Surrender The Fall with "Some Kind Of Perfect"...

Meanwhile, at the Modern Rock/Alternative format, the aforementioned "Radioactive" hangs in for an eighth week on top...

The top entry at #34 is the #1 band Imagine Dragons with their next single, "Demons"....

The last debut here at #37 is Long Beach alt-rock band Cold War Kids with "Miracle Mile", their fifth hit on the chart...

Over on the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") radio, Family of the Year score their first #1 hit with "Hero", and there are no new songs on the list...

One rung below that at #39 are the Virginmarys with "Dead Man's Shoes"....

Lastly, on the older-skewing Heritage Rock format, Young Guns climb to #1 with "Bones", as the aforementioned "Stone" by Alice In Chains is the top-debut at #17...

The other entry at #25 is Eric Clapton with his awesome latest one, "Gotta Get Over"..

That does it for the rock side of the house...I'll be back in an hour and a half with the newest on R&B radio. Rock on!
