List Of Billboard Mainstream Rock Number-one Songs Of The 2000s
The 2000s in rock radio in the United States saw a continued blurring of the playlists among mainstream rock and alternative rock stations. Every track that was ranked by ''Billboard'' as the number-one song of the year on its Mainstream Rock Tracks chart during the decade was also a top-five hit on the Alternative Songs chart, most of which topped both charts. In June 2009, ''Billboard'' debuted the Rock Songs chart which combined the data of the two charts and its Triple A chart. Two of the biggest artists on the Mainstream Rock chart during the 2000s not only had success on the Modern Rock/Alternative charts, but also crossed over into the realm of Top 40 pop music. The top mainstream rock song of the decade, "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down, peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 and was a No. 1 pop hit. The top mainstream rock artist of the decade was Nickelback, who had the second biggest song on the Mainstream Rock chart during the 2000s with "How You Remind Me "How You Remind M ...

They program a balanced airplay of tracks found on active rock and classic rock playlists, but the music playlist tends to focus on charting hard rock music from the 1970s through the 2000s. Mainstream rock is the true successor to the widespread album-oriented rock (AOR) format created in the 1970s. However, mainstream rock can be used as a modernized update of classic rock if any radio station playlist has to cut back on some active rock artists and songs due to ratings and popularity demand, which is an absol ...
