CHART NOTES

Martin Solveig & Dragonette has the #1 song again, for the 5th consecutive week in a row. Yes, "Hello" is once again on top of the charts.

Holding at #2 is Dengue Fever with "Cement Slippers". This song also held the #1 spot earlier this spring for 5 weeks in a row. It is still holding on strong in the top 5 having teetered between #2 and #3 for more than a month now. It's a great song from my favorite album so far of 2011, Cannibal Courtship.

Springing up 5 points from #8 to #3 this week are The Cars, with their comeback single "Sad Song". Not very sad for them with the original line-up and a possible chart topper here on the Weekly Top 20!

Moving up another point is Lady GaGa. "Judas" moves up from #5 to #4 this week. This is one of two songs she has on the top 20. Lady GaGa also debuts this week at #18 with her latest single, "The Edge of Glory". Both tracks are from her just issued album Born This Way.

Further down the chart we see Lady Antebellum breaking into the top 10 with their latest country crooner, "Just a Kiss". The single moves from #13 to #9 this week.

Also breaking into the top 10 is Jessica Lea Mayfield. Her indie single "Blue Skies Again" moves up a point from #11 to #10 this week. It's been a slow but steady climb for the record.

CHART NOTES

Martin Solveig & Dragonette holds the #1 spot again for the 2nd week in a row with "Hello". The song has been an international dance hit since last year and is only now making it onto mainstream top 40 charts and niche ones such as this.

Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull inch their way back into the #2 spot with "On the Floor" which dropped to #3 last week.

New in the top 10 is "Judas" by Lady GaGa, moving up from #12 to #8.

Debut singles: Katy Perry returns to the chart with her first week debut "E.T." coming in at #19. The Eli Young Band checks in at #20 with their country crossover hit, "Crazy Girl" coming in at #20.

CHART NOTES

In only 2 short weeks Martin Solveig & Dragonette's international dance track moves from #19 to #7 to this week's new #1 song. The song has been a regular mainstay of the dance chart for several months and is now a hit on this chart. The single replaces Dengue Fever's "Cement Slippers" which slip from #1 to #2 after a five week stay at the top.

Breaking into the top 5 is "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." by Noah & the Whale, moving from #6 to #5. It's a great little song from the same people that brought you "5 Years Time" back in 2008. They took that to #1 on this chart.

Elsewhere, Lady GaGa moves from #19 to #12 with her latest, "Judas".

The only debut song this week is "Sad Song" by The Cars, a comeback single featuring most of the original line-up of the hot 1980s group. They are well known for the hits "Just What I Needed," "You Might Think," "Magic", "Shake It Up" and "You Are The Girl" from the late 1970s and 1980s. Good to see them on the chart again.
