The chart is swinging more to independent and alternative hits in recent weeks. Records such as "Natalie" by The NuRu, "Peope Got a Lotta Nerve" by Neko Case, "The Rake Song" by The Decemberists, "Boys with Girlfriends" by Meiko, "The Sun Ain't Shining No More" by The Asteroid Galaxy Tour and "Time Lapse Lifeline" by Maria Taylor are not listed on most mainstream charts. Mainstream hits are still a mainstay of this chart, with U2's "Get on Your Boots" topping the chart for the 2nd consecutive week. My personal chart differs from most charts such as the Billbord Hot 100.

This week's featured video is from Meiko, "Boys with Girlfriends" is a popular track on The Sixty-One website and has been on my chart since late last year. It topped the chart in December 2008 for 2 weeks and then went back up to number one early last month for another week. Currently stopped at #11, this song is a great mainstream sounding track that has yet to be founded by the masses. Enjoy the video:
