Singer/songwriter BØRNS, who like Lord Huron hails from Michigan, enters at #49 with "Electric Love", which also climbs to #33 on the Alternative chart in its second week..

At #50 is neo-metal "supergroup" HellYeah with "Hush". The song is up at #17 on the Mainstream Rock list in its seventh week. It follows "Moth", which peaked at #31 on this chart...

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

On the Mainstream Rock radio panel "Heavy Is The Head" by the Zac Brown Band holds at #1 for a second week...

Halestorm follows up their #1 MR hit "Apocalyptic" with "Amen", which ascends to #29...

The third single from South African post-grunge band Seether's Isolate and Medicate album, "Nobody Praying For Me", lands at #34. The first, "Words as Weapons", topped this list last year..

Meanwhile, on the Alternative/Modern Rock chart, AWOLnation remains on top for a second week with "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)"...

British indie-rock act Life In Film claim their first chart hit as "Get Closer" moves in at #38...

The first single from Brandon Flowers' second solo album away from the Killers, "Can't Deny My Love", is in at #39, and its my "Rock Pick of the Week". His solo debut produced the #6 hit "Crossfire" in 2010.. (I'm not sure I forgive him though for professing how Mitt Romney would've been a great president...)

Indie-pop duo MS MR from Brooklyn are back at #40 with "Painted". Back in 2013 they went to #8 with "Hurricane"...

Lastly, on the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") format, Florence + The Machine move to #1 with "What Kind Of Man" (her third on this format after "Dog Days Are Over" and "Shake It Out"), while the aforementioned BORNS track is the sole newbie at #30...

I'll return with the latest on R&B radio...
