As a result, “Time Of My Life” tops the Alternative, Rock, and Hard Rock Albums Charts for the second week in a row.
for the second consecutive week, the Red Hot Chili Peppers top the Rock Songs Chart with “The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie,” Foo Fighters top the Alternative Songs Chart with their single “Walk” and Mumford & Sons top the Folk Albums Chart with “Sigh No More.”

But, in a recent tweet from brother and group’s bassist Jared, there’s more than meets the eye as he tweeted “There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed.” Hours later, he added, “I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren’t stupid. I can’t lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade.” The band isn’t breaking up, but here’s hoping to the brothers overcoming their problems.
