Employing a homotopy argument and the Leray-Schauder degree theory, we show the existence of rotating modes for the Frenkel-Kontorova model with periodic interaction potential. The solutions describing rotating modes are periodic and called rotating oscillating solutions, in which the phase of a fixed rotator increases by $2\pi$ per period, while its neighbors oscillate with small amplitudes around their equilibrium positions. We also discuss a fundamental difference between the Frenkel-Kontorova model with periodic interaction potential and that with convex interaction potential by demonstrating the nonexistence of the rotating modes for the latter case.
