After moving up to #2 and then dropping, Amaranthe makes a surprise move and takes the #1 position.

Of the three new rips this week, we have new stuff from veterans Shinedown and Xandria, and a very regonizable newcomer: Scarlett Johansson, the actress, makes her Rock Rips debut with her performance from the animated musical, Sing. She plays the prickly rocker-girl porcupine character that amused us with "Set it All Free." This week, the song enters our chart at #19.

We're still working on a series of playlists at our Youtube account. The first that we're pleased to present is the Rock Rips #1s of 2000 and 2001, in order from our very first chart of September 23, 2000. Step back in time and see what made us happy years ago!

You've been patient - now here's what you've been waiting for. It's the top 50 artists from our charts between 2000 and 2010. The last time we published this chart was 2007 and lots has changed. Bands that slid down the chart for years, such as Default, experienced career success in recent years, and they're stronger than ever. Come look for your faves by clicking on the title above.
