On today's all new cast, we break down some statistics and records as we go behind the leaderboards on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and talk about who holds the record for most #1 songs, most chart entries, longest time spent on the chart, and longest reign spent on top of the chart. We discuss some of the major record holders including Foo Fighters, Green Day, Linkin Park, and Red Hot Chili Peppers and talk about why these artists are considered to be the "Mount Rushmore" of the chart in terms of their sustained success and longevity, and their ability to have chart toppers over the span of multiple decades, something that is very difficult and rare to do these days for an extended period of time. We also go behind how some more current millennial bands like All Time Low are finding their place on top of the record books and what this signals in terms of the ever changing musical tastes of listeners, and their ability to be a major tastemaker and move up the pedestal of dominant acts.
