Post-grunge band Smile Empty Soul are also back at #39 with "False Alarm". They went to #8 a decade ago with "Bottom Of A Bottle"...


Meanwhile, on the Alternative/Modern Rock chart, the aforementioned Cage The Elephant track hangs in for a fourth week on top...

The other entry at #40 is A Day To Remember with "Right Back At It Again". It's their fifth top-40 hit on this format - they went to #12 with "All I Want" in 2010...

Lastly, on the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") format, Passenger rides to the top with "Let Her Go"...

The only debut here at #28 is Sir Paul McCartney with this week's "Rock Pick of the Week", "Queenie Eye"...

That's all for this week's rock newcomers...I'll be back in an hour and a half with the newest R&B hits on the radio...rock on!
