CHART NOTES

Train holds on to the #1 spot for a 4th consecutive week with their latest hit "Drive By". Madonna holds at #2 for a 3rd consecutive week with "Give Me All Your Luvin'".

Breaking into the top 10 we find Olly Murs at #9 with "Dance The Night Away" while Alesha Dixon moves up to #10 with her Weightwatchers promotional song and video "Do It Our Way (Play)". Both songs make 2 point moves into the top 10.

Quick movers below the top 10 we find SafetySuit at #12 with "These Times" up 5 from #17 of last week. Following them is Katy Perry with her latest, "Part of Me" moving up 5 from #18 to #13 this week. Just a few notches behind we find Outasight movin up 5 from #20 last week to #15 and their hit "Tonight is the Night". It would be safe to say that all 3 tracks are headed for top 10 land.

Droppers this week include Katy Perry's former #1 record "The One That Got Away" plunging from #8 last week to #16 this week. Another plunger is Kelly Clarkson whose hit "Stronger" peaked at #9 last week. This week it fell to #17. Looks like the outs for both of these as well as Nickelback's "When We Stand Together" at #18.

Two songs make their debut. Check out the chart above.

CHART NOTES

Train holds on to the #1 spot for a 3rd consecutive week with their latest hit "Drive By".

The top 4 stays exactly the same as last week with positions #2, #3 and #4 holding the same with Madonna, The Ting Tings and Asteroids Galaxy Tour maintaining their status quo. The new entry into the top 5 is The Shins and their latest "Simple Song".

In an amzing leap, Matt Cardle moves up 6 points to claim the #10 spot with his single, "Amazing". Wow!

Two debuts this week... Katy Perry is at #18 with "Part of Me". Her recent #1 single "The One That Got Away" is still in the top 10 at #8 this week.

The other debut is "Tonight is the Night" by Outasight at #20. It's their first single to chart here. Don't know much about the artist, but the song is decent enough to be listed.

Songs That Went to #1 in 2012

CHART NOTES

The question of the week is will Madonna be taking the #1 spot next week with her hit "Give Me All Your Luvin'"? The record has sprung into the top 5 fairly quickly going from its debut position of #20 three weeks ago to #9, to last week's #4 and this week at #2. The other question s whether or not Train can hold on to #1 for a 3rd week next week? Train is currently at #1 for the second week in a row with their latest hit "Drive By". Care to venture an answer? Email me!

Elsewhere on the top 20 we see some movement in the lower rungs of the chart. Gotye breaks into the top 10 with "Somebody I used to Know" moving up from #12 to #9. Kelly Clarkson finally makes it into the top 10 at #10 with "Stronger". She hasn't been all that successful on this chart. We'll see if this song will have any further upward movement.

Speaking of upward: Fun springs from #18 of last week to #11 this week with their single "We Are Young". Matt Cardle moves up from #19 to #16 this week with his latest, "Amazing". Meanwhile his second hit to make it to this top 20 falls from #10 to #17. That would be "Starlight". Kind of an abbreviated run for this song. Sorry.

Only one debut this week and that goes to Safetysuit. They check in at #20 with "These Times".

Toby Keith's former #1 record "Red Solo Cup" is on the wane and may be out of here by next week. His record drops from #8 to #14. Was a good run considering the track went to #1 and made its debut on the last week of 2011. "Cup" is still a fun song and hilarious video.

Songs That Went to #1 in 2012

The One That Got Away - Katy Perry
