"La Grange" and "Sharp Dressed Man" enter Hot Rock Songs.
Two ZZ Top classics reach Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart dated March 21, sparked by a new documentary chronicling the band's half-century history.
"La Grange" leads the way on the streaming-, sales- and airplay-based tally, where older songs are allowed to enter if in the top half and with a meaningful reason for their resurgence. Originally a No. 41 hit for the trio on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1974, it debuts on Hot Rock Songs at No. 12.
In the tracking week running Feb. 28-March 5, the song collected 1.4 million U.S. streams, up 16%, and sold 2,000 downloads, a boost of 85%, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.
