CHART NOTES
Bruno Mars hits #1 again with his latest single "Grenade". After holding at #2 for nearly 4 weeks, the track off his debut album Doo Wops and Hooligans, becomes his second consecutive #1 hit on the Weekly Top 20. Late last year he topped the chart with "Just the Way You Are" which this week, moves up a point from #10 to #9.
Fact is several older songs are holding steady or getting a slight bump. Another former #1 song moving up again is "Rhythm of Love" by Plain White T's. It moves from #9 to #8 and was a #1 record more than 2 months ago. Great to hear it is in the top 10. Taylor Swift holds at #3 for another week with her smash country hit, "Back to December", which is our featured video of the week.
Debuting on the Weekly Top 20 is Ke$ha (with a dollar sign for an "S") at #20 with her latest single "We R Who We R". It is the only debut track on the Top 20 this week.

CHART NOTES - January 9
Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup hold on to the #1 spot for the 4th week in a row. Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift hold on to the #2 and #3 spots with their respective hits, "Grenade" and "Back to December." Taylor Swift's hit is the #1 country track on iTunes, while "Grenade" has topped that chart as well as Amazon.com's list of best selling MP3 single tracks.
Nelly moves up 3 from #11 to #8 with "Just a Dream". It's a single track that has been lingering for several weeks below the top 10. This week it finally breaks into the ten with a 3 point jump.
Two new singles debut this week. They are "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons at #19. This song has been lingering on indie and alternative charts for weeks now and is quite a staple on some college and modern rock radio stations/streams. The 80s rock band Duran Duran is back on the chart with "All You Need is Now" which debuts at #20. The track was a freebie download from iTunes a few weeks ago.
