In contrast, Rise Against makes music that is very much left-wing in its messaging, and The Pretty Reckless has a woman in it.
And if you're wondering about the comparison to The Pretty Reckless and being polar opposites of FFDP, FFDP presents itself as an über-macho, right- wing band. Before this, the Chicago-based punk rock band had only gotten as high as #2 in the format. I swear, following the chart in real time, it looked like Darkness Settles In was going to block Rise Against from finally getting a #1 hit on Mainstream Rock. #7 on the 2021 Hot Hard Rock Songs Year-Endįinally, I get to talk about Rise Against. #5 on the 2021 Rock & Alternative Airplay Year-End #18 on the 2021 Alternative Songs Year-End #4 on the 2021 Mainstream Rock Tracks Year-End Issued Aug#2 previous week - 1 week at #1 Produced by Chris Beeble, Andrew Berlin, Jason Livermore, and Bill Stevenson Written by Tim McIlrath, Brandon Barnes, Zach Blair, and Joe Principe So let's all give a big round of congratulatory applause to The Pretty Reckless. The song that did it gave the other band their first #1 hit on the Canadian rock chart and the fourth biggest Mainstream Rock hit of the year. In the first chart week dated to August, the second #1 hit of the year from Five Finger Death Punch's F8 was dethroned from #1 by a band that was polar opposites from FFDP. And also, it's a good song overall.īefore we move on to the next song, I'd like to wish a happy 76th birthday to Peter Criss from KISS. It's essentially a Black Lives Matter anthem, which is interesting to see in Mainstream Rock. The second such hit was his first chart-topper, Mercy. However, his first album signed to a major label is on streaming, and it earned him some big radio hits. Ayron (the letter "a," then "ron," if you need help with pronunciation) released two albums as an independent artist, neither of which are currently on streaming. At any rate, Ayron Jones had been playing small gigs in his native Seattle for years before being noticed by - get this - Sir Mix-A-Lot. Unless you count Slash as black, but that's a conversation we're not having. I think this might have been the first time that, excluding features, we had a black solo artist hit #1 on Mainstream Rock since Lenny Kravitz. #36 on the 2021 Hot Hard Rock Songs Year-End #48 on the 2021 Rock & Alternative Airplay Year-End #16 on the 2021 Mainstream Rock Tracks Year-End Produced by Eric Lilavois, Marti Frederiksen, and Scott Stevens
