Oppose: Billboard publishes a number of different charts covering various rock radio formats including Rock Songs (a new chart which ranks the airplay of songs on alternative, mainstream rock and triple A radio stations), Alternative (formerly Modern Rock), Triple A, Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, Active Rock and Heritage Rock (both subsets of the Mainstream Rock reporting stations). I see no reason to merge the articles for these two particular charts and the user proposing the merge has offered no rationale for it. Piriczki ( talk) 13:39, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Mainstream Rock was renamed just "Rock" just as Modern Rock was renamed "Alternatvie." These two pages should merge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.58.228.129 ( talk) 04:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Has anyone even bothered to read Billboard magazine or look at the charts in question? Rock Songs is a new, 50-position chart which ranks the airplay of songs on alternative, mainstream rock and triple A radio stations. The first chart was published in the issue dated June 20, 2009. The Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart is a 40-position chart which ranks the airplay of songs on mainstream rock radio stations. This chart remains unchanged except that it is now only available online by subscription at billboard.biz.
For comparison, here are the top 10 positions on both charts for the week of August 22, 2009 (with weeks on the chart in parentheses):
Rock Songs 8/22/09
1 (10) New Divide - Linkin Park
2 (10) Sound of Madness - Shinedown
3 (3) The Fixer - Pearl Jam
4 (10) Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
5 (10) 21 Guns - Green Day
6 (10) Panic Switch - Silversun Pickups
7 (10) Ain't No Rest For the Wicked - Cage the Elephant
8 (10) Burn It to the Ground - Nickelback
9 (7) Jars - Chevelle
10 (9) Whiskey Hangover - Godsmack
Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks 8/22/09
1 (12) New Divide - Linkin Park
2 (17) Champagne - Cavo
3 (20) Sound of Madness - Shinedown
4 (9) Whiskey Hangover - Godsmack
5 (13) Burn It to the Ground - Nickelback
6 (19) I Get Off - Halestorm
7 (7) Jars - Chevelle
8 (10) You're Going Down - Sick Puppies
9 (16) Ain't No Rest For the Wicked - Cage the Elephant
10 (23) Seasons - The Veer Union
As you can see, these are two completely different charts and there is no reason to merge the articles. Piriczki ( talk) 13:09, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
i edited the page to make it look more organized instead of an endless list of number ones. first of i separated it by years and added some records, more records and some more modifications are needed still Feedmyeyes ( talk) 01:36, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Note that the week of October 20, 2012 has the methodology for compiling the chart has changed: [1] This info should be added to the article. - eo ( talk) 16:28, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
From October 20, 2012 onwards, the old Rock Songs chart was renamed Rock Airplay, with Rock Songs accounting not only for genre airplay, but for streaming, sales and crossover airplay, as the article linked above states. In my opinion, this is a significantly different chart, and I propose this article should be dedicated to the Rock Airplay chart (with #1's from the date of the change being the ones from Rock Airplay), with a new article dedicated to the new Rock Songs chart, if it is deemed relevant enough, since essentially the "new" Rock Airplay chart is a continuation of the "old" Rock Songs chart, even if chart stats before the split are shared by both charts. 187.121.102.5 ( talk) 03:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
