On this week's Billboard Rock Songs chart, a very old song make its reappearance in the Top 10, while several singles from yet-to-be-released (or just-released) albums make their presence felt. But, ultimately, it's a "Rope" world.

"Country Strong" breaks into the Top 10 this week. This is the first single off Seether's forthcoming album, Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray, their follow-up to 2007's Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces.
9. Stone Sour - "Say You'll Haunt Me"

Stone Sour's "Say You'll Haunt Me" fell out of the Top 10 two months ago, but the long-running Audio Secrecy single finds its way back on our chart this week.

For the second straight week, "Little Lion Man" stays planted at No. 8. You'll notice a trend from here on out on this week's chart: Almost every song is at the same spot it was last week.
7. Shinedown - "Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)"

"Diamond Eyes," Shinedown's contribution to the soundtrack to The Expendables, can't gain any traction. For the fifth week in a row, the song is at No. 7.
6. Linkin Park - "Waiting for the End"

For a third straight week, "Waiting for the End" checks in at No. 6. The Linkin Park single off A Thousand Suns got as high as No. 2, but that was about a month ago.
5. The Black Keys - "Tighten Up"

"Tighten Up" takes the No. 5 spot for a third consecutive week. The Black Keys will be playing some North American dates this summer with Cage the Elephant.
4. Rise Against - "Help Is on the Way"

After two weeks at No. 3, "Help Is on the Way" could use a little assistance on our chart. The Rise Against cut drops one notch, although the band's new album, Endgame, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart.
3. Mumford & Sons - "The Cave"

The second of two singles in our Top 10 from Mumford & Sons, "The Cave" moves up one spot this week. The folk-rock group will be playing a set of U.S. dates starting April 15 in Las Vegas.
2. Cage the Elephant - "Shake Me Down"

"Shake Me Down" enjoyed a two-week stay at No. 1, but this week the Cage the Elephant single remains at No. 2 for a fourth consecutive week.

Four weeks ago, "Rope" debuted at No. 1 on the Rock Songs chart. Not a thing has changed since: Foo Fighters remain the kings of the rock world.
