Crossover music

Crossover is a term applied to musical works or performers appearing on two or more of the record charts which track differing musical tastes, or genres. If the second chart combines genres, such as a "Hot 100" list, the work is not a crossover.

In some contexts the term "crossover" can have negative connotations associated with cultural appropriation, implying the dilution of a music's distinctive qualities to appeal to mass tastes. For example, in the early years of rock and roll, many songs originally recorded by African-American musicians were re-recorded by white artists such as Pat Boone in a more toned-down style, often with changed lyrics, that lacked the hard edge of the original versions. These covers were popular with a much broader audience.

In practice crossover frequently results from the appearance of the music in question in a film soundtrack. For instance, Sacred Harp music experienced a spurt of crossover popularity as a result of its appearance in the 2003 film Cold Mountain, and bluegrass music experienced a revival due to the reception of 2000's O Brother, Where Art Thou?. Even atonal music, which tends to be less popular among classical enthusiasts, has a kind of crossover niche, since it is widely used in film-making and television production scores "to depict an approaching menace", as noted by Charles Rosen.

List of number-one Billboard Rock Songs

Hot Rock Songs is a record chart published by Billboard magazine. From its debut on June 20, 2009, through October 13, 2012, the chart ranked the airplay of songs across alternative, mainstream rock, and triple A radio stations in the United States. However, since the chart dated October 20, 2012, the Hot Rock Songs chart has followed the methodology of the Billboard Hot 100 by incorporating digital download sales, streaming data, and radio airplay of rock songs over all formats. Before that date the chart was ranked by overall audience impressions (the approximate number of audience impressions made for each play, as determined by BDS data cross-referenced with Arbitron listener information).

Since its introduction, thirty-nine singles have reached the number-one position on the Rock Songs chart. Foo Fighters and Linkin Park have been the most successful groups, with each having three singles to top the chart. Walk the Moon's "Shut Up and Dance" is the longest running number-one single, having spent a total of twenty-seven consecutive weeks atop the chart. Foo Fighters have spent the longest time atop the chart, as their three number-one singles have spent a combined thirty weeks at the summit. Out of the thirty-nine singles that hit the number-one position, ten singles spent two separate runs atop the chart. Coldplay's "A Sky Full of Stars" is the only single to have returned to the top position for three distinct runs. Thirty artists have recorded number-one singles. The first number-one single on the chart was Green Day's "Know Your Enemy", which led the chart's debut week. The most recent number-one single is Twenty One Pilots's "Stressed Out".
