This week's Billboard Rock Songs chart is sure to be a big hit with people who don't do well with change: Eight of the Top 10 songs are in the exact same spot as they were last week. The other two are new entries on our chart.

Incubus are stuck at No. 7 for a third straight week with "Adolescents." The band will be playing the Hurricane Festival and Southside Festival in Germany in June.

From here on out, this week's chart is a carbon copy of last week's. For a second week in a row, Cage the Elephant sit at No. 6 with "Shake Me Down."
5. The Black Keys - "Howlin' for You"

The Black Keys remain at No. 5 for a second week. I recently picked "Howlin' for You" as one of 2011's best rock songs.
4. Mumford & Sons - "The Cave"

"The Cave" peaked at No. 2, but for a third straight week the Mumford & Sons track sits at No. 4. The song was recently certified gold and the band's debut album, Sigh No More, was certified platinum.
3. Seether - "Country Song"

Seether hold on to No. 3 for a second straight week. "Country Song" is the first single from the band's new album, Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray.
2. Rise Against - "Help Is on the Way"

"Help Is on the Way" jumped up one place last week to No. 2, but Rise Against can't duplicate that feat this week: They remain in second position.
1. Foo Fighters - "Rope"

"Rope" is the No. 1 song for the 11th week in a row. That's very impressive, especially considering that only two bands have ever held on to the top spot longer, and that was for 12 weeks: Linkin Park and Three Days Grace. That will give Foo Fighters something to shoot for next week.
