Rock Sweep: June 7, 2014...

Round two of today's chart sweeps is up, sampling the songs making the radio charts in Billboard magazine, and this time out I've got the latest rock songs on the radio...

On the main Rock Airplay chart, the Black Keys hold steady for a third week on top with "Fever"...

The top entry at #34 is modern rock giants Coldplay with "A Sky Full Of Stars", my "Rock Pick of the Week". It's the follow-up to "Magic", which still is in the top-10 here at #7...

Irish singer/songwriter Hozier moves in at #48 with his powerful "Take Me To Church", a former "Rock Pick", and it's already in the top-10 on the Triple-A format...

And now on to the rock radio format charts....

On the Mainstream Rock radio panel, Pop Evil score their third consecutive #1 hit with "Torn To Pieces"...

The song it replaced, "Guilty All The Same", is from Linkin Park, who now enter at #39 with their next single "Until It's Gone"....

Under that, at #40, are the Arctic Monkeys with "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?". Their previous single, "Do I Wanna Know?", peaked at #12 in this format and stands at #20. Both songs are in the top-10 on both the main Rock Airplay and Alternative charts...

Meanwhile, on the Alternative/Modern Rock chart, The Black Keys rule for a third week, while the aforementioned "A Sky Full Of Stars" jumps in at #33...

Kiwi treasure Lorde returns at #36 with "Tennis Court", the fourth single from her debut album. Her last, "Glory And Gore", went to #17 and remains at #21 this week...

 Canadian reggae-rock act Magic! make their debut on this chart at #39 with their crossover hit "Rude"...

Finally, on the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") format, "Fever" is on top for a seventh week..

British indie-folk rocker Passenger (aka Mike Rosenberg) returns at #28 with "Scare Away The Dark". His "Let Her Go" topped this chart...

The other debut at #30 is California roots-rock band Augustana with "Ash and Ember". Back in 2008 they went to #4 with "Sweet and Low" ...
