19	Drummer Boy	Debi Nova	--
20	Come Over Love	Anuhea	--

CHART NOTES:

Nikki Yanofsky tops the chart for a second consecutive week with her single "Cool My Heels". It's a great AC/jazz track. Should be #1 on everyone's chart.

"My First Kiss" by 3OH!3 moves from #10 to #6. Definitely will be a top 5 hit. Number 1?

Fast mover: "Misery" by Maroon 5. Up 8 points from #18 to #10 in only the track's second week. I don't really care for the track's mildly violent video.

Three songs debut: At #18 is the latest hit by Carrie Underwood, "Undo It". Debi Nova's "Drummer Boy" comes in at #19; and all the way from Hawaii, it's Anuhea with her latest single "Come Over Love" at #20.

Like old music? Got several audio channel tracks at the new Super Oldies Page.

CHART NOTES:

Nikki Yanofsky tops the chart this week with her single "Cool My Heels". The young singer is popular in Canada. This song should be getting more airplay in the U.S. Fits perfectly on a soft AC / light rock format.

Katy Perry's "California Gurls" (featuring Snoop Dog) moves up 1 from #3 to #2 this week. Could number 1 not be too far away? The song tops many other charts.

Two records make their debut on the top 20. They are "Misery" by Maroon 5 at #18 and "Jar of Hearts" at #19 by Christina Perri "Misery" is this week's featured video clip.

CHART NOTES:

"Animal" is a huge hit on Mel's Weekly Top 20. The debut single from Neon Trees holds on to the #1 spot for the 4th week in a row. Other than "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum and "Bad Romance" by Lady Ga Ga from earlier this year, this record is the only one to hold the top spot for 4 weeks. Will it be around for a 5th?

Jaron and The Long Road to Love have a big hit on their hands with "Pray For You". The song has been inching its way up the top 5 for weeks now, this week settling in at #2 up from #3 of last week. Nikki Yanofsky's "Cool My Heels" slips a point from #2 to #3. Katy Perry moves into the top 5 to claim the #4 spot with her hit "California Gurls" (featuring Snoop Dog), up form #6 while Barenaked Ladies hold at #5 for the 3rd week in a row with "Every Subway Car."

Sharkira's "Waka Waka" song moves from #10 to #7 this week. La Roux moves up 2 form #13 to #11 with "Bulletproof," Caro Emerald close behind with "A Night Like This" up form #14 to #12 while her former number 1 hit "Back it Up" drops 2 from #8 to #10. She has a new video for "Back it Up" (see video above).

Two songs debut this week: "My First Kiss" featuring Kesha by 3OH3 comes in at #18, and "Like We Used To" by A Rocket to the Moon comes in at #20. Both songs are popular on the alt rock charts.

Waka Waka for Shakira

Yep, Shakira, colorful, lively video for the World Football (Soccer) Cup.

CHART NOTES

Neon Trees hold the #1 spot for the third week in a row with "Animal". The video sold me on this song when I saw it about 6 weeks ago on YouTube. It's still great today.

Shakira breaks into the top 10 with "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" which is the theme for the 2010 World Cup of Soccer. The song moves up from #12 of last week.

Five point risers this week include "Bulletproof" by LaRoux up from #18 to #13, and "A Night Like This" by Caro Emerald up from #19 to #14. LaRoux is enjoying a second go-round with this song.

Debuts this week include "The Finish Line" by Train at #19 and "24 Hours" by Noisettes at #20. The latter song is the 4th track by Noisettes from their album The Wild Heart to be listed on the Weekly Top 20. They scored a huge #1 hit last year with "Never Forget You" and the top 10 "Don't Upset the Rhythm" also from 2009. Earlier this year they charted again with "Every Now and Then".
