Round two of this week's "music sweeps" is up, checking out the songs reaching the charts in Billboard magazine, and this time up I've got the latest on rock radio...

On their main Rock Airplay chart, Cage The Elephant jump to #1 for the second time in their career with "Mess Around". They also did the trick with "Come A Little Closer"...

Indie folk group the Lumineers return at #39 with "Ophelia", the first single from their upcoming sophmore release Cleopatra. In 2013 they had back-to-back top-5 hits with "Ho Hey" and "Stubborn Love"...
