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.

Meanwhile, artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Paramore have demonstrated that rock’s emotional core resonates across genre lines.
