We’re back with our first official top 21 of 2026. You see, what happens on the Cutting Edge Countdown every weekend is that we countdown the 21 most played rock songs at rock radio from all over the United States. Then we also focus on a special artist by playing a few tunes from them and a conversation with the artist via the podcast Cutter’s Rockcast.
On January 9th, Alter Bridge released their 8th studio album just called Alter Bridge. We caught up with both guitarist Mark Tremonti and singer Myles Kennedy.
Find those conversations, music videos of the songs you heard on the show, and an extended top-50 playlist below.
