CHART NOTES
Dengue Fever moves into the #1 spot with their lead off single from their forthcoming album Cannibal Courtship called "Cement Slippers". The song has been a free download off the Dengue Fever website for weeks now and precludes the April 19 release of the new album. Listening to the sample tracks off the new album has me excited about getting it on the first day out. I've become a fan of Dengue Fever since I was made aware of them late last summer. Saw them in concert on October 30, 2010. Love their music. "Cement Slippers" could be their big breakout single. Reminds me somewhat of the old "Rock Lobster" song from the B-52s.
Elsewhere on the chart: Not much upward movement in most of the songs this week. Foster the People break into the top 5 this week with their hit "Pumped Up Kicks". The song moves up 2 from #7 to #5. Most of the other songs on the top 20 make small incremental moves up by 1 or 2 notches.
Songs taking signifcant falls this week include The Decemberists' "Down By the Water" dropping from #5 to #10. This was a former #1 record. Also dropping big is "Hands" by The Ting Tings. They drop 5 from #10 to #15. The Ting Tings have been on this chart with "Hands" since the fall of 2010. Looks like this could be their last week on.
The two debut songs for the week are "I Do" by Colbie Caillat at #19 and "Machu Picchu" by The Strokes at #20.
