Top 10 Billboard Rock Songs - Week of October 2, 2010

By , About.com Guide

On this week's Billboard Rock Songs chart, the key word is "movement." With a few notable exceptions, songs are either zooming up or down the chart with a speed we rarely see. Does that mean that Disturbed couldn't hold on to No. 1 for a second week? Let's find out.

10. Kings of Leon - "Radioactive"

The heavily anticipated new album from Kings of Leon, Come Around Sundown, drops October 19. In the meantime, the first single, "Radioactive," enters the Top 10 this week.

For a third straight week, Phoenix sit at No. 9 on our chart. It doesn't look like "Lisztomania" will prove as popular as the group's previous single, "1901," but that doesn't mean the French four-piece are ready to leave the Top 10 any time soon.

Looks like it's easy come, easy go for Linkin Park. After ruling the Rock Songs chart for weeks, "The Catalyst," the lead single from A Thousand Suns, has taken quite a tumble, falling four spots this week.

The folk-rock buzz band Mumford & Sons are making a big noise with "Little Lion Man." The first single from their debut, Sigh No More, bolts up three places this week.

Not to be outdone by Mumford & Sons, another much-hyped indie group, Neon Trees, are showing some spunk this week, rising three spots to No. 4.

Disturbed landed at No. 1 last week, but it didn't last long. "Another Way to Die" drops a notch this week, although their new album, Asylum, continues to be a strong seller.

So far in this week's Top 10, there have been two bands that have jumped up three spots. Stone Sour are the third: "Say You'll Haunt Me" flies up from No. 4 to claim the big prize on our chart. Off Audio Secrecy, it's one of the year's best songs.
