Ed Sheeran and Arctic Monkeys hang on to their spots in the top 10, but 80% of the chart is new this month, featuring songs by Dire Straits, The Beatles, The White Stripes, Eric Clapton, Phish, and others.

The Arctic Monkeys, Daft Punk and Bob Marley are all back with a vengeance after dropping off the chart for a couple of months, but they couldn't hold back newly added songs from Bôa and Ed Sheeran.

When you put enough guitarists together, classic rock and heavy metal are always well represented. The FATpick chart is no exception: Pink Floyd earned two spots in the top 10 this month; the Swedish power metal act HammerFall made a strong second-place showing; and familiar faces like AC/DC and System of a Down also ranked in the top 10. But it's a pretty eclectic list overall: from America's 1970s folk-rock anthem “Horse With No Name” at the top of the chart to 90s alt-rock staples like Cake and Beck to traditional country songs from the 1930s. There's even a track from the soundtrack to the surrealist rom-com movie Amélie. It's Forrest's box of chocolates in here. You never know what you're going to get.

The Eagles' Hotel California was the most played song in FATpick for May 2021. Other popular songs included Armata by Powerwolf, Beethoven's Für Elise, I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash and Do I Wanna Know by the Arctic Monkeys.
