CHART NOTES:

Neon Trees tops the chart at #1 with "Animal". The song moves up from #2 of last week. Made its climb in 4 weeks. We got a hit here!

Coming up strong at #3 is Nikki Yanofsky and her hit "Cool My Heels", a contemporary sounding jazz piece off her debut album. The song moves from #9 to #3. Quite a jump.

Also jumping high is Katy Perry. Her hit which is number 1 on numerous charts around the world, moves from last week's #19 spot to #11 this week. Way to go for "California Gurls".

One of my favorite songs from this year has got to be Caro Emerald's "Back It Up." The track went to #1 a few weeks ago on the Weekly Top 20. Two weeks ago it was at #8 and last week dropped to #12. This week the catchy song moves back up to #10. She has issued a new video for the track.

Another song that dropped last week and went back up this week is "Pray For You" by Jaron and The Long Road to Love. The song was at #6 last week, moves back up to #5 this week.

Debuting at #19 this week is Shakira with the African flavored "Waka Waka", which is the theme song for the World Cup Soccer playoffs.

Mel's Weekly Top 20 - Welcome 2010!

Lady Antebellum CMT Tour 2008, originally uploaded by countrymusictattletale.

Mel's Weekly Top 20 is back after a two week hiatus. This week I've got 2 charts for you. Firs the current chart for the week of January 10, 2010 and next the first chart of the new year, January 3, 2010. On both charts Lady Antebellum tops the peak with their number 1 hit "Need You Now." If Lady Antebellum were not labeled a country band, they'd indeed have a bigger hit with this on the pop charts. Still a great new song to start the new year off.
