CHART NOTES
Train locks on to the #1 spot again for a 7th consecutive week with "Drive By". We've gone without a new #1 song for almost 2 months. This song ties last year's most long stay at #1.... Late last fall Coldplay held on to #1 for 7 straight weeks with "Paradise". That song turned out to be the #1 song of the year on the year end Top 100 of 2011. Can Train accomplish the same feat for 2012?
Holding patterns: At #2 we find Gotye and Kimbra with "Somebody That I Used to Know," now there for the 2nd week in a row. At #3 we see The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and "Heart Attack" for a 2nd consecutive week. The song has compiled at least 4 non-consecutive weeks at the #3 position. Can it go any higher or is it doomed to be a #3 hit forever?
Be sure to check out Katy Perry's latest hit and video above. "Part of Me" moves up 2 from #8 to #6 this week.
Movers: Making some significant headway up the chart we find the following songs: "Glad You Came" by The Wanted moves up from #16 to #9 this week, a 7 point jump. Also jumping up 7 points is Carly Rae Jepsen's single "Call Me Maybe" moving from #17 to #10. Making a 6 point jump from #19 to #13 is Adele and her single "Rumour Has It".
There are no debut songs on the chart. Several songs are headed on a downward spiral and are likely to depart the top 20 by next week. Among them are "Hang It Up" by the Ting Tings at #18, "These Times" by SafetySuitat #19 and "Do It Our Way" by Alesha Dixon. All had good chart runs and should be listed in the year end chart for 2012 come this December.
