CHART NOTES

Matt Cardle holds on to the #1 spot with "Run For Your Life" for a 3rd week in a row. Bruno Mars holds at #2 with "It Will Rain" for another week. Moving up to #3 we find Adele with "Someone Like You". Coldplay holds down the #4 song with their former #1 "Paradise," which also turned out to be the #1 song of the year on Mel's Weekly Top 20 Top 100 Hits of 2011 chart. Check it out.

Dev creeps into the top 5 with "In the Dark", up from last week's #6.

Most of the other songs on the chart notched small one or two point gains from the previous week.

The song that moves the most is "Red Solo Cup" by Toby Keith, a country song that moves from #20 to #17 this week. It's a fun song that crossed over from the country side.

Two debut songs include Katy's Perry's "The One That Got Away" at #19 while Nickelback bows in at #20 with "When We Stand Together".
