Talk:Mainstream Rock (chart)

message: This seems to be the most wanted new article at the moment. But I'm having difficulty understnding what "Mainstream Rock Tracks chart" is supposed to mean. Are people looking for the definition of a Rock Tracks chart, a chart detailing the different genres of Rock? People can't seriously expect Wikipedia to keep a listing of the Billboard Rock Top-40 up to date on here. -SeaFox 19:37, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, Seafox, it's none of those options you mentioned. It's a seperate chart dealing with the modern rock genre. OmegaWikipedia 13:15, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Van Halen number one singles 

message: I kind of like the list format of showing the record stays at number one for songs.  It's simple and tells you exactly what you're looking at.  The table format is a bit obtrusive.  --Wolfer68 (talk) 20:58, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have decided to revert it, and left the creator with a good faith edit, thanks to majority. I for one, thought the table was pretty pointless to begin with.--F-22 Raptor IV 23:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I just checked billboard...all they have know is a chart for rock songs...not 2 specific charts.  It seems both formats have been merged together.  Is this true and should there be a blurb detailing what happened?69.204.9.236 (talk) 18:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Billboard absorbed Radio & Records' charts and now there are several... "Modern Rock Tracks" is now "Alternative"... plus there is "Active Rock" and "Heritage Rock".  The new "Rock Songs" chart is a combination of ALL the rock charts.  So yeah, there's gotta be a lot of cleanup and modification to these Billboard articles. - eo (talk) 18:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

text: In the June 20, 2009 issue of Billboard, a new chart titled Rock Songs was introduced.  This is a new chart, not a new name for the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.  Rock Songs ranks airplay on alternative, rock and triple A radio stations.  The other two new charts, Active Rock and Heritage Rock, are derived from the same panel as the former Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks but are split into two different charts.  These will run every other week alternating with Alternative and Triple A.  I suggest limiting the scope of this article to just one chart—the original chart which ran from March 1981 to July 2009.

text: Have the first new Rock Charts, aside from the normal "Rock" chart, been introduced yet? If so, where can they be accessed? If not, when are they going to be available? I still only see one rock chart on the new website. bob rulz (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They have been in the print editions over the last few weeks, but I haven't seen them yet on Billboard.com or their pay-site Billboard.biz, which is a complete mystery to me. - eo (talk) 19:57, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

text: I hope the two new rock charts come out this week.67.191.60.174 (talk) 21:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately that site is now redirecting to the new Billboard.com. AcousticSynth (talk) 17:29, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

text: THIS IS STUPID! We should leave negative feedback on the billboard site, saying we need the mainstream rock charts because the site is garbage without it.67.191.60.174 (talk) 18:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modern/Mainstream Rock Tracks gone?? 

message: I don't know all the history, but I see in archives that in 2018 the chart was called Mainstream Rock Songs. I also know it was called Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks at some point (before that?) and now I believe it's called Mainstream Rock Airplay. Just in case someone cares to research the sources a little deeper. --Muhandes (talk) 08:57, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
