I love Iris. It's a great song but the fact it's number 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles chart in 2022 is a big problem in terms of the appeal of rock music in streaming. The 2000's and heck even the early 2010's was a LOT better than this.The average age of Top 10 alone is 29 years old. Something has to change in how new rock music is marketed on social media and streaming services. I do not want to see the same Queen, Goo Goo Dolls or Guns' N Roses songs at number 1 each week. When they came out? Yes! They are excellent songs but newer rock songs barely get any recognition in the UK charts. Heck, the US Rock & Alternative Songs charts are a LOT better off when it comes to this. We here in the UK need to fix the big gaping issue that is consistently shown in the charts. If it wasn't for MCR's newest single, Maneskin's song which is a YEAR OLD at this point is the newest song to chart. Gutted about MCR not retaining their number 1.
