2017 is here, but news out of the rock world is aplenty. We’re going to take a different route today and look at some of the best artists from 2016 that we didn’t take a look at last week. These are some of the artists who had successful hits on the Mediabase Active Rock year-end chart.
Metallica came back hot in 2016 and had a hit find the top 50. Their song, “Hardwired,” was a big hit in the second half of the year and subsequently sees it land at 39 on this chart.
Another older band, but great one is Korn. They too had success this past year and much like Metallica, their hits fell in similar spots on the chart. “Rotting in Vain” finished the year at 34.
Ghost put out two of our favorite songs in 2016. “Cirice” did well, finishing at 32 on the chart, but the band’s big hit was “From Pinnacle to the Pit,” which landed at 21.
