Caught bits of this so far, could be quite interesting although we don't know how reliable the figures are. Given it's Kerrang I'd imagine their definition of a "rock hit" won't be as loose as the OCC's, I can't see "Hey, Soul Sister" featuring for example
59. Kings of Leon - Radioactive (2010) #7, 150,000 60. Feeder - Buck Rogers (2001) #5, 145,000 61. Lostprophets - Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast) (2006) #8, 145,000 62.

Decode sold more than Ignorance? Woah.
I think I was on Compare My Radio the other day. And it's not surprising to see that The Only Exception is top (apart from Monster of course. ) followed by Brick By Boring Brick and Playing God. What I was surprised most about though is that Decode had just 1 play in the last month (even That's What You Get and Careful had more...)...which I think is a bit strage considerring it's possibly one of the most well-liked and biggest selling songs. Prize on offer if you can guess what #1 is! (Though Ive already seen the contdown before...) |

I assumed "Decode" would get more airplay, where was "Misery Business"? I do hope it's sold more than "The Only Exception", I'm assuming nothing from 2011 will make the list given I can't see "Rope" having crossed 100k. |

Just A Day #74. Not bad. Just awaiting Buck Rogers, I'm confident that will be their only other entry in the Top 100.

Wow at a song that's never charted selling 20k more than a #2 from the same year

BOLLOCKS, "The Only Exception" outsold "Misery Business". Not cool, I just hope they come back with something next time that sells better. Should be a given if the lead single goes top 10.

Shocked Ignorance has sold less than Decode! Do you have any idea what the cutoff point for this was?
Also, great sales for Tribute Was that never released here or did it just flop? That's one of my mum's favourite songs (my mum also likes Eminem, she doesn't really have typical 'mum' tastes ) and I used to see the video all the time. And that was a while after 2002 as well, since I was 6 in 2002. |

01 Sex On Fire (~1,100,000) 02 Use Somebody (~850,000) 03 Killing In The Name (~700,000) 04 Teenage Dirtbag (~685,000) 05 Rock Star (~650,000) |

Pretty Reckless -- Make Me Wanna Die [2010] :: 95k 100 .. Paramore -- Ignorance [2009] :: 90k Positions in brackets are where the songs were when Kerrang! last did this countdown at the beginning of 2009. There are a lot of older songs that are new purely because they would never have been played on Kerrang! three years ago but they've sinced widened their playlist so the likes of Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, Uncle Cracker, Bon Jovi etc. They would never have been played on the station three years ago. |

Seven Nation Army, Numb, In The End, Uprising, Feeling Good and Club Foot amongst others have sold very well considering their initial relatively unspectacular peak (and in the White Stripes case, chart run), download sales must've had quite an effect on them

I'm fairly sure that Manic Street Preachers - Masses Against the Classes was played on Kerrang so I dont know why they excluded it. It sold 75,000 in week one so it must have surely made 90,000 before the end of the decade, even taking into account that it was deleted in week 1.
