Talk:Hot Modern Rock Tracks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have attempted to make this article a little less "journalistic" to an actual encyclopedia article. 9/19/2005


Does anyone here know if this site is accurate? [1] --T-rex 17:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Accurate in terms of what? It isn't a Billboard chart, if that's what you mean. -- eo 18:26, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
What is it a chart of then? --T-rex 18:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't know. Read the website. I'm sure they have a source or a FAQ page or something to show where their info comes from. -- eo 21:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
It isn't anything. I mean it's October of 2007 and it still lists "When You Were Young" by the Killers as #1. This isn't notable it actually looks like a good way to get spyware on your system, though. Doc Strange 15:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How about information on songs that hit #1 in it's first week?

Since LP just did it this week. 128.205.153.145 13:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It is already mentioned. - eo 13:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] some things

  • this fact is writable or is useless?? "Red Hot Chili peppers are also the bands with most years with at least one number 1 on chart with 9 years : 1991,1993,1995,1999,2000,2002,2003,2006,2007."
  • link at this videos??

I removed it. It's really not notable and its bordering on fancruft. The info that is there seems to sums things up pretty well already. - eo 19:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Modern/Mainstream Charts look different.

Notice that right now, more metal/harder songs are showing up on mainstream rock tracks while modern rock tracks contain a lot of indie/emo/alternative rock songs. Not sure how to word it though, but thought I would bring it up. Maplejet 13:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, I dont think its really necessary to add it or to try to analyze the genres that are popular. The article mentions that the Mainstream and Modern Rock charts are somewhat similar, but they are what they are. People always argue about what songs/bands fall into what genre anyway. Ya know? - eo 14:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually Maplejet hit it right on the head. That was always the intent of the separate charts. Mainstream Rock Chart would (and does) feature more metal/hard rock and Modern Rock focuses on alternative/indie. Only a few bands (White Stripes, REM, Weezer and Foo Fighters to name a few) have charted on both charts. This isn't a recent trend either, both charts have always skewed to those genres since the implementation of the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 01:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peek-a-Boo

Peek-a-Boo did basicly debut at #1 but the #1 debut section only notes linkin park REM and RHCP, who debuted at #1 for real.

i would like to add Peek-a-Boo to the #1 debut section but i woulnt know how to word it - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.188.208 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 13 August 2007

I don't think its necessary.... the article already states that is was the first #1 so of course that is also its debut position.... all songs debuted that week. - eo 21:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wonderwall

Okay, I am sick of seeing the listing of "Wonderwall" listed in the records section as a song that was at number one for ten consecutive weeks. This is NOT true. If you look at the chart records here on Wikipedia, it hit number one at the week of December 30, 1995. It contined to stay at number one until February 24, 1996, nine weeks. After that, the single "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins hit number one for the week of March 2. Although "Wonderwall" did reach number 1 again the next week, March 8, it was NOT at the top for TEN CONSECUTIVE weeks.

And I believe that "1979" SHOULD be noticed for being there one week. That one week changed the Pumpkins' carrer, since it was their ONLY single on ANY chart to hit number one. I just am asking, please do not put "Wonderwall" as a song that was on there for ten weeks. This is not true, and Wikipedia should only list true facts.

Nowhere does it say the weeks were consecutive. The song spent 10 weeks at number one, that's it. Lots of songs drop and return, not just on this chart but all of them. - eo (talk) 21:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Who says they have to be consecutive weeks? Also, if "1979" should be there, so should every other song. Just because it was the first and only one by The Smashing Pumpkins doesn't give it precedence over any other. bob rulz (talk) 22:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
He's also semi wrong. This wasn't the only time the Pumpkins had a #1 song. Well it was with the same song but still: "1979" also hit #1 on the Mainstream Rock tracks charts as well. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 01:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
