Charts for This Week

Photo: Black Eyed Peas' "Fergie".

Nothing significantly new except that on my Weekly Top 20 we got the Black Eyed Peas making some serious inroads into the chart. Their latest track "I Gotta Feeling" makes its debut at position #7. This is the highest debut position of any song to the weekly top 20 since I brought the chart back in 2006. Their earlier hit "Boom Boom Pow" is a late addition to the chart climbing to #12 this week. Both were #1 tracks on other charts such as iTunes, Amazon.com and maybe even Billboard. I'm not that big on this group, but they do have their moments.

Back at #1 is Green Day with "Know Your Enemy." It was #1 2 weeks ago before being replaced by Shiny Toy Guns' cover of "Major Tom" for the time.

Here are the charts....
