  • 2021 in rock music
    • For the first time, in the 2021 iteration of the chart, no rock albums released in 2021 make the top 200 best performing albums of the year in the US all-format Billboard 200 chart, nor do any rock albums top the chart over the course of the year.[7] While the genre is noted to generally be in a state of decline, publications also note a resurgence in pop punk music. Part of this is due to rap and pop musicians; interest in the genre, including popular songs in the genre by Machine Gun Kelly, Olivia Rodrigo, and The Kid Laroi.[8][9][10][11]
    • The COVID-19 pandemic delays many rock albums and tours originally meant for 2020 into 2021, and then some again into 2022.[12]
