We have one debut in the Top 10 of this week's Billboard Rock Songs chart, and it comes from a band that you know very, very well. So let's say goodbye to Nickelback, whose "Bottoms Up" tumbles off our countdown, and let's see who claimed the top spot...

"Not Again" peaked at No. 4 on our countdown back in late September, but now the Staind single is fighting to stay in the Top 10. For a second straight week, "Not Again" sits at No. 10.
9. Foo Fighters - "These Days"

Foo Fighters have already had two singles off Wasting Light land at No. 1. The album's third single, "These Days," is this week's sole debut, claiming the No. 9 spot. The band recently won the Favorite Alternative Artist award at the American Music Awards.
8. Foster the People - "Pumped Up Kicks"

Near the end of May, "Pumped Up Kicks" first entered our countdown. The Foster the People single has been in the Top 10 ever since, but "Pumped Up Kicks" may not be with us much longer: For a second week in a row, the single sits at No. 8. In case you're wondering, the band's follow-up, "Helena Beat," doesn't look like it's going to crack the Top 10. It's currently sitting at No. 19, falling from its peak at No. 15.
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie"

"The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" is one of 2011's best rock tracks, but such accolades aren't going to help it on the Rock Songs chart. This week, Red Hot Chili Peppers fall another spot to No. 7.

"Tonight" got as high as No. 4, but for a second straight week Seether's latest hit off Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray stays stuck at No. 5. You may remember that their previous single, "Country Song," peaked at No. 2.
4. The Black Keys - 'Lonely Boy'

The Black Keys lodged gains in airplay and sales this week for "Lonely Boy," the first single off their forthcoming El Camino, but that doesn't translate into a major jump up the Rock Songs chart. For a second week in a row, the song sits at No. 4.
3. Coldplay - "Paradise"

This week on the Alternative Songs chart, Coldplay's "Paradise" is the new No. 1 track. On our chart, though, the Mylo Xyloto single stays put at No. 3 for a second consecutive week.
2. Foo Fighters - "Walk"

Foo Fighters make a second appearance on this week's Top 10 with "Walk." The former No. 1 hangs tough at No. 2 for a third straight week. For nearly nine months now, Dave Grohl has had at least one track in our countdown. Seriously, that's unbelievable.
1. Bush - "The Sound of Winter"

Unlike a lot of recent No. 1 hits, Bush's "The Sound of Winter" didn't quickly bound up our chart, instead making gradual progress until it finally claimed the top spot. And now that they're there, Bush are going to savor their chart dominance. For a third straight week, the lead single from The Sea of Memories sits at No. 1.
