The Best Rock Songs Trending on iTunes Right Now
Rock music continues to evolve, and the iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs Chart is where that evolution is tracked in real time. Updated weekly, this chart ranks the 100 best-selling rock singles on iTunes, from alternative and indie rock to hard rock, post-punk revival, and the classic rock standards that endure through every generation.
Rock in the 2020s is a fascinating mix of nostalgia and reinvention. Legacy acts like The Rolling Stones and Metallica continue to draw enormous audiences, while a new wave of rock — Wet Leg, Fontaines D.C., Boygenius, and Beabadoobee — is winning over younger listeners with fresh sounds that honour rock’s rebellious spirit. Meanwhile, artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Paramore have demonstrated that rock’s emotional core resonates across genre lines.
Whether you’re a devoted rock fan or exploring the genre, the chart below is the perfect starting point. Discover the full iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs, updated this week.
