CHART NOTES

This week jazzy songstress Caro Emerald tops the chart for the first time with her hit single "Back It Up." The highly danceable and catchy track should be on everyone's chart the world over. OK... so it may be a little late on this chart (or is it too early?).... The song was released last September. It was through The SixtyOne.com website that I first ran into a Caro Emerald song last month with the track, "A Night Like This", in and of itself another catchy track. I liked Ms. Emerald's laid back and bouncy style that I seeked out more information and music by her hence finding this single as well as her album on iTunes. Bought it all and am a happy listener. So this week "Back It Up" is the new #1 single on Mel's Weekly Top 20.

I hate having to write about Lady GaGa every week but I just can't escape it. This week her latest single "Alejandro" breaks not only into the top 10 but the top 5 this week. The single leaps from #11 last week to #5 this week. Another #1 for the popular diva? Maybe.

The other "Lady" as in Lady Antebellum have two songs crossing each other in the top 10. "Need You Now," a former #1 song on this chart is slowly making its way down dropping another point out of the top 5 from #5 to #6. Meanwhile the group's follow-up single "American Honey" moves up 2 from #9 to #7.

Taio Cruz's rap song "Break Your Heart" is now a top 10 hit, moving up 3 from #13 to #10.

Jack Johnson's got a new single that clocks in at #18. "You and Your Heart" was released this week and has made some serious sales being listed in the top 10 on iTunes. The song is a prelude to an upcoming new album by Mr. Johnson.
