Mel's Weekly Top 20 - Welcome 2010!

Lady Antebellum CMT Tour 2008, originally uploaded by countrymusictattletale.

Mel's Weekly Top 20 is back after a two week hiatus. This week I've got 2 charts for you. Firs the current chart for the week of January 10, 2010 and next the first chart of the new year, January 3, 2010. On both charts Lady Antebellum tops the peak with their number 1 hit "Need You Now." If Lady Antebellum were not labeled a country band, they'd indeed have a bigger hit with this on the pop charts. Still a great new song to start the new year off.
