Brooklyn-based indie rock group Bear Hands paw in at #50 with "2AM". Back in 2014 they went to #15 with "Giants". "2AM" also jumps to #25 on the Alternative chart...

Heavy metal "supergroup" HellYeah, led by Mudvayne's lead singer Chad Grey, return at #36 with "Human". They've reached the top ten on this chart four times before, with debut "You Wouldn't Know" going to #5 in 2007...

Meanwhile, on the Alternative/Modern Rock chart, Nothing But Thieves claim their first #1 hit with "Trip Switch"...

British modern rock act the 1975 take my "Rock Pick of the Week" handily while they move in at #34 with "The Sound". It's the second American single from their #1 album I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It - the first, "Love Me", went to #18...

The third single from Walk the Moon's Talking Is Hard album, "Work This Body", enters at #37. "Shut Up And Dance" was one of the biggest rock and pop hits of last year...

Lastly, on the Triple-A (adult album alternative, or "hipster rock") format, the Lumineers are on top for a second week with "Ophelia", their third #1 hit after "Ho Hey" and "Stubborn Love"...

Moon Taxi, an indie-jam rock band from Nashville, enter at #30 with "All Day All Night"...
