CHART NOTES

Foo Fighters stay at #1 for a second week in a row with "Rope". I am loving their album Wasting Light which came out earlier this year. Only got hold of it about 6 weeks ago. The album has grown on me to the fact that two tracks are featured on the top 20. The other one is "Walk" which holds at #16. Another great track from that album is "Dear Rosemary" which could be a future single.

Anggun holds at #2 with her hit "Only Love" while Maroon 5 with Christina Aguilera moves back up from #4 to #3 with "Moves Like Jagger". Breaking into the top 5 we find Red Hot Chili Peppers with their latest single "The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie" coming in at #5 up from #7 of last week.

OneRepublic's "Good Life" moves up 4 from #10 to #6. Will probably be in the top 5 next week.

Lady Antebellum scores another country crossover hit with their latest "We Owned the Night" making its debut at #18. It's off their latest album Own the Night that also features their last single hit "Just a Kiss". The other debut song is "Drown" by Carolina Liar coming in at #20. They hit #1 back in 2009 with "I'm Not Over".

CHART NOTES

The Foo Fighters top the chart this week with "Rope". The track which was released this past February and only showed up on my chart in August. It's taken from the Foo Fighters' latest album Wasting Light. This is probably the best rock song released this year. Great to see it at #1.

Following the Foo Fighters at #2 we find Anggun, an Indonesian born French singer whose real name is Anggun Cipta Sasmi. Her latest single "Only Love" is from her upcoming album Echoes, which may already be out in other countries. The single has been released in English, French and Indonesian languages. It's gone to #1 in Indonesia. "Only Love" moves up from #3 to #2 this week.

New to the top 10 this week is OneRepublic. Their latest single "Good Life" moves 5 points up from #15 to #10. It is taken from their 2009 album release Waking Up. They've only charted once here, going to #4 in 2009 with "All The Right Moves".

Only one song makes a debut to the chart this week. Coming in at #20 is the latest single from Coldplay. "Paradise" is the title of the track and it's the second release from their soon to be released new album Mylo Xyloto. Their last single "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" peaked at #2 for 3 weeks earlier this summer.
