Rock Sweep: March 7, 2015...

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

On their main Rock Airplay chart, Walk The Moon stay at #1 for a second week with "Shut Up And Dance"...

The sole debut on the big rock chart at #35 is roots-rock act Alabama Shakes with "Don't Wanna Fight", my "Rock Pick of the Week". It's high placement is helped from its success on Triple-A, where it leaps into the top-10 in its second week. Previously they went to #15 with "Hold On"...
