Rock Sweep: June 29, 2013...

Round two of today's "chart sweep" is up, and now I've got the latest rock songs to make the radio charts in Billboard magazine...

On the aggregate Rock Airplay chart, Imagine Dragons spend an impressive 16th week on top with "Radioactive", while their next single "Demons" is at #4....

The top entry at #29 is Los Angeles "indietronica" act Grouplove with the first single from their upcoming sophomore set, "Ways To Go", my "Rock Pick of the Week". Their breakthrough hit "Tongue Tied" made it to #3 in 2011..

New Zealand native Lorde arrives at #31 with her first American hit "Royals". The song is already at #30 on the Modern Rock chart, and reached #1 in her home country earlier this year...

Surfer-rock king Jack Johnson is back at #48 with "I Got You", from his upcoming album....

The last entry here at #50 is California indie rock band Cold War Kids, with their second charting single "Miracle Mile". Their first was "Louder Than Ever" back in 2010...

...onward to the individual rock format subcharts...

On the Mainstream Rock panel,  Alice in Chains stay for a second week at #1 with "Stone"...

Fort Lauderdale's Nonpoint have the big winner on this list at #34 with "That Day". It follows their biggest hit on the chart so far, "Left For You", which went to #16...

Mindset Evolution are in at #38 with "Burn It Down"...

California blues-rock group Rival Sons are in at #39 with "Keep On Swinging"...

and bringing up the rear at #40 is Fall Out Boy crossing over to this format with their top-10 alt-rock hit "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark"...

Meanwhile, on the Modern Rock/Alternative chart, the Neighbourhood spend a fourth non-consecutive week at #1 with "Sweater Weather", while the aforementioned "Ways To Go" rockets in at #20 while Lorde enters at #30 with "Royals"....

San Diego surf-rock band Wavves (get it?) sail in at #37 with "Demon To Lean On"....

...and debuting at #40 are newcomers Smallpools with "Dreaming"....

At the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") format, Serena Ryder commands the top spot for an eighth week with "Stompa", while Jack Johnson's "I Got You" is the top entry at #21...

Australian rockers Atlas Genius have the other debut at #28 with their top-20 Alternative hit "If So"...

On the harder-edged Active Rock radio panel Alice In Chain claim the #1 spot with "Stone", while the aforementioned Nonpoint and Rival Sons tracks debut at #32 and #39 respectively...

Lastly, on the older-skewing Heritage Rock chart, Shinedown are on top for a fifth non-consecutive week with "I'll Follow You"...

The sole entry at this format at #21 is Australian rock band Sick Puppies with "There's No Going Back", which is already top-20 on the mainstream rock list...

That covers the new rock crop...I'll return in an hour and a half with the latest on R&B radio. Rock on!
