Rock Sweep: March 15, 2014...

Round two of this week's "chart sweeps" is up, with the latest rock songs to make the radio charts in Billboard magazine.

On the main Rock Airplay chart, the Arctic Monkeys spend a third week at #1 with "Do I Wanna Know?"...

The top entry of the week at #45 is the third single from hard rock band Pop Evil's third album, Onyx. "Torn To Pieces" also jumps up to #14 on the Mainstream Rock list. It follows "Deal With The Devil", which made it to #20 on this chart...

Pearl Jam return with the followup to their #17 hit "Sirens", the title track to their album Lightning Bolt...

And rounding out the three new songs here is Vegas-based post-hardcore band Escape The Fate with "One For The Money"...

And now on to the radio format sub-charts...

On the Mainstream Rock radio panel, Avenged Sevenfold hold on for a seventh week on top with "Shepherd Of Fire", while the aforementioned "Lightning Bolt" rockets in at #25...

West Virginia's Bobaflex follow up their first hit "Bad Man" (#36) which "I'm Glad You're Dead" at #38...

And bringing up the rear at #39 is the first hit for post-grunge group Fuel in seven years with "Soul To Preach To". They had three top-10 hits on this chart in the "naughties", with "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" landing at #2 in 2000...

 Meanwhile, on the Alternative/Modern Rock chart, the Arctic Monkeys stick around for a seventh week at #1...

New York-based SKATERS debut at #35 with their first hit single, "Deadbolt"...

Another act making their first impression is The Orwells from Illinois with "Who Needs You" at #36..

The Arctic Monkeys don't waste time as their follow-up to their current #1, "Why Do You Only Call Me When You're High", arrives at #39...

The last entry on the chart and my "Rock Pick Of the Week" at #40 is Australian alternative rock act Birds Of Tokyo with "Lanterns"...

Lastly, on the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") format, Cage The Elephant's "Come A Little Closer" spends a second week on top...

Singer-songwriter Ray Lamontagne comes in at #23 with his newest, "Supernova". Back in 2008 he went to #5 with "You Are The Best Thing"...

The other new song at #30 is British modern rock act Bastille with "Bad Blood". Their previous #1 AAA hit "Pompeii" is still on the chart as well at #15...

 I'll return with the newest on R&B radio...rock on!
