Imagine Dragons, Metallica and More on This Week’s Artist Chart

This week’s Billboard Artist chart is out and while there aren’t a ton of rockers at the top, we see some nice representation from the music genre. Of course top 40 music is going to rule the chart as it is the one that creates the highest record sales, but there are some rockers that hold their own here.

Imagine Dragons are the highest ranked rock band here as they sit at number 9 this week. You have to go all the way to 34 and 35 where U2 and Metallica sit to see more of the rock genre on the chart. Twenty One Pilots has been a chart topper before especially with all of their hit singles last year, but this week they’re at 48 on the chart.

Other rockers, young or old, inside the top 100 include Linkin Park (53), Bleachers (82), Train (87), Journey (92), Flogging Molly (96) and Lynyrd Skynyrd (100).
