Fresh Bite of Apple Music
Plus: Top Digital Song Sales, German 🇩🇪 & UK 🇬🇧 Charts, BRIT Certifications
As an exercise, I went through today’s top Hard Rock, Metal, and Punk(ish) albums on Apple Music and eliminated anything released before the year 2000.
This removed catalog stalwarts from legendary acts like Led Zeppelin and Queen, as well as big ‘90s records from the likes of Pearl Jam and Bush, while providing a clearer picture of the modern strength of LINKIN PARK, EVANESCENCE, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, SLIPKNOT, BRING ME THE HORIZON, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, A DAY TO REMEMBER, FALLING IN REVERSE, MASTODON, BLACK VEIL BRIDES, ASKING ALEXANDRIA and recent success stories like SPIRITBOX, ICE NINE KILLS, I PREVAIL, BAD WOLVES and more.
Would you like to see things organized this way more often? Never?
This issue also includes: STATE OF MINE, MIRACLE OF SOUND, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, and this week’s Top 25 Hard Rock, Metal, Punk(ish) digital song sales; THE DARKNESS, EXODUS, POPPY, and the UK’s Top 40 Rock & Metal albums; first-week physical, downloads, and streaming numbers for SABATON, EXODUS, SWALLOW THE SUN, OBSCURA, and more in Germany; PAPA ROACH, BAD WOLVES, VOLBEAT and the Top Mainstream Rock Radio songs; and new BRIT Certifications for ALICE COOPER and QUEEN.1
