All but one of the MCR and RATM songs survived this week, to my surprise. I really hope November 23, 2019 is counted to the 2019 year-end because the window just opened up for Welcome to the Black Parade to make the year-end!

The 2019 year-end has arrived with a whopping 11 retro Queen songs (not counting the newly commercially released Live Aid versions), and with it a finality on where the chart year lies. 11/24/18 has been moved to the 2019 chart year section and 11/23/19 now starts the 2020 section.

The Wonder Woman 1984 trailer featuring Blue Monday drew proxy attention that sent the song to the top 10 of Hot Rock!

Thanks to performances at the Grammys, Prince's When Doves Cry and Little Red Corvette and Aerosmith's Walk This Way make their way to Hot Rock this week, taking the baton from Tom Sawyer, which lasted a second frame past the other Rush songs.

All 3 of the songs from last week stick around, most notably with When Doves Cry staying put at the #5 spot.

Last week, thanks to an Amazon Prime ad placement, Ace's How Long debuted at #19. This week, it climbs to #8, joined by ZZ Top's La Grange (#12) and Sharp Dressed Man (#14) thanks to a new documentary released on Netflix.

I'm half expecting something like "Down With The Sickness" to make an appearance due to the pandemic.

La Grange and Sharp Dressed Man entered the chart due to this:

One consequence of the rock chart being so exclusionary as to what counts is that weeks like this can spawn chaos in regards to oldies: we've got the lingering effects of the Amazon ad, the less lingering effects of the ZZ Top documentary, and now we've got 2 separate Coronavirus events (one being the virus itself and its major effects on lifestyle getting people in a darkly humorously apocalyptic mood, the other being a group-singing of the song in question by celebrities that attracted controversy) that jolted two classics back onto the list.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) entered at #4 which is not a re-entry, but the chart didn't exist when it first came out. Imagine re-enters at #15 and Pneuma at #46.

Not quite re-entries, but the chart didn't exist when the songs were first released: Boulevard of Broken Dreams #7, Keep on Loving You #10, Stacy's Mom#12, Can't Fight This Feeling #13, Time for Me to Fly #15, Take It on the Run #16 and My Hero #18.

Pneuma's not an old track, it's actually from Fear Inoculum and is the band's current radio single.
Anyway, the ZZ Top and Ace songs dropped off and the Coronavirus songs hung out in the top 10 together, with Imagine surging to #6 and ItEotWaWKI(&IFF) dipping to #8, now both are gone this week to make way for more death and disease related songs. The passing of Adam Schlesinger brings his band's, Fountains of Wayne, most beloved hit, Stacy's Mom, back at #12. The Living Room Concert for America arranged by Elton John brings attention to 2 songs making their debut on Hot Rock this week: Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams at #7 (along with lead member Billie Joe Armstrong's cover of I Think We're Alone Now, but that's a current song so out of this thread's scope) and Foo Fighter's My Hero at #18. Finally, on a less morbid note (or at least, merely fictionally morbid one), Netflix crime drama show Ozark provides a big bump to the band REO Speedwagon after featuring them on the show, with Keep on Loving You (10), Can't Fight This Feeling (13), Time for Me to Fly (15), and Take It on the Run (16) all making a splash.
