The UK Rock Chart is a UK chart that ranks the biggest-selling singles that are released through the genre of rock and heavy metal in the United Kingdom. The chart is compiled by The Official UK Charts Company,[1] and is based on both physical and digital single sales.

Summary

The first number-one single of 2011 was Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer", a single which has previously reached the top spot; the most recent of which was 6 November 2010 where the single remained at the peak for a single week. The single was then followed by Muse's return to the top spot with "Feeling Good", a single which has previously topped the charts for 2 weeks in October 2010; where it spent two consecutive weeks. On 23 January 2011, Paramore's "The Only Exception" returned to the number-one spot on the chart following the song's cover by Lea Michele on the Glee episode 'Britney/Brittany'; which originally aired in the United Kingdom on 17 January. The return to the peak brought the single's total weeks at number-one to seven; after it reigned the chart from 4 April until 9 May during 2010.

Having only spent a week at the peak, Paramore were placed at the number-one spot by Muse on 30 January 2011, with frequent number-one single "Feeling Good". The single spent a total of five consecutive weeks at the peak, bringing its overall total to 11 weeks (7 of those being in 2011 alone). On 6 March, "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses returned to the top spot, where it spent two consecutive weeks; having already peaked at number-one on two separate occasions during 2010 bringing its total weeks at the peak to 5 to date (2 of these from 2011).

April 3 saw rock band My Chemical Romance claim a second number-one rock single from their fourth studio album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys when "Planetary (Go!)" climbed a single place to the peak. The following week saw the band claim a third consecutive number-one from the album when "SING" shot up the chart to the number-one spot following the song's cover by New Directions on the Glee episode 'Comeback'; which originally aired in the United Kingdom on 4 April. The single remained at the peak for four consecutive weeks, having been replaced by Avenged Sevenfold's "Not Ready to Die"; the lead single from their upcoming sixth studio album.

15 May saw frequent rock chart-toppers Goo Goo Dolls return to the number-one spot with "Iris". The climb marked the single's fifth non-consecutive week at number-one, with its last appearance at the peak being 21 March 2010. The following week saw Foo Fighters claim the number-one spot with 2008 single "Best of You" following a performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. On 29 May, Tenacious D returned to the number-one spot with single "Tribute". It was replaced the following week by band Evanescence and the single "Bring Me to Life"; which also reclaimed a moderate singles chart position following an inclusion on iTunes 59p songs promotion.
