The return of Africa -- stagnation

THe charts must be desparate -- Toto's quirky but earnest #1 song from 1982, "Africa," has found a new life.  No one would've called it a rock song then, but now it sits at #2 on Rock Airplay in a remake by Weezer.  Hard to call it a rock song now either since it's a virtual note-for-note remake. 

But over on Rock Songs, which also wraps in sales, streams, and the like, the top 3 are all by Imagine Dragons, all dating from their album from 80 weeks ago.  Talk about stagnant!
