CHART NOTES:

K-Pop singer/rapper Psy's (real name Park Jae-sang) international smash hit "Gangnam Style" dances up the chart into the #1 spot. Last week "Gangnam Style" made a 16 point leap from its debut position of #19 to #3 and is now at #1. Took the song only 2 weeks to get to the top. Quite possibly a record for this chart.

Now let me say this: "Gangnam Style" is one of those records that is more than just a hit... it's a phenomenon. You will either love it to death or you will hate the song for the rest of your life. Like dance craze songs from years past (think "The Twist", "Mambo #5", "Electric Slide" and "The Macarena"), "Gangman Style" will be one of those songs everyone from 3 year olds to senior citizens will be dancing to for years to come. It'll turn up at weddings, birthday parties, and bar mitzvahs just like the macarena does. Already, many people all over the world know the song and have made knock off and parody videos. Just search YouTube under "Gangnam Style". A few of those videos appear below.

With Psy capturing the #1 slot this week, poor little Taylor Swift lost her grip there as "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" slips a spot and anchors the #2 position this week. Maroon 5 moves down a notch to #3, withNoisettes moving up from #5 to #4 with "That Girl" and Aerosmith moving into the #5 slot from #6 with "What Could Have Been Love".

Cher Lloyd's "Want You Back" moves into the top 10 at #10, up from #13 of last week.

Two songs make their chart debut. At #17 we find Christina Aguilera and her latest "Your Body" with newcomerTristan Prettyman at #20 with "My Oh My".
