On this week's Billboard Rock Songs chart, we have two new entries in the Top 10. Actually, only one of them is a new song: The other is a former No. 1 smash back for one more go-round.

Although they're one of the world's most popular and acclaimed bands, Coldplay have hit a snag on our chart. "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" is stalled at No. 5 for a second week.

Foster the People have the No. 1 Alternative Song in the land with their smash "Pumped Up Kicks." On the Rock Songs chart, they're not quite as high, but they're getting close: This week, they move up one spot to No. 3.

Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray's first single, "Country Song," is at No. 2 for an eighth straight week. Seether worked with veteran producer Brendan O'Brien for the first time on the new record.

Make it 19 weeks in a row at No. 1 for "Rope." Foo Fighters continue to show no signs of slowing down, although "Walk" is getting dangerously close to the top spot. Will one Foo track unseat the other?
