Rock Sweep: May 2, 2015...


Round two of this week's "chart sweeps" is up with the latest hits on rock radio as monitored by Billboard magazine.

On their main Rock Airplay chart, "Believe" from Mumford & Sons is on top for a third week...

The sole debut at #45 is Fall Out Boy with "Uma Thurman", my "Rock Pick of the Week". The track, which moves back up a notch to #33 on the Alternative chart, is the follow-up to "Centuries", which peaked at #8 on this list...
