CHART NOTES

Jessie J holds on to the #1 spot for the second week in a row with her big hit, "Price Tag". Dengue Fever climbs 2 points moving from #4 to #2 with their single "Cement Slippers". Lady GaGa moves up 1 point from #5 to #4 with "Born This Way".

New to the top 10 is "On the Floor" by Jennifer Lopez, up 2 points from #11 to #9. This is the first time a record by Ms. Lopez has even hit the Weekly Top 20.

Debuting this week is Noah and the Whale with their latest single "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." coming in at #19. They hit the chart big in 2008 with "5 Years Time" taking that single to #1 for a few weeks.

Rihanna also debuts this week with a second single, "S&M" at #20. Last week she debut with "Who's That Chick" at #20 which this week moves up to 17. Kind of unusual to have an artist with 2 relatively new songs chart at the same time on the WT20.

This song should be a bigger hit. Currently at #12 on the WT20.


This song grows on me. Debuts at #19 this week.

CHART NOTES

Jessie J, who hails from England tops this week's chart with her debut hit single, "Price Tag". The song has been steadily climbing he chart and this week, nudges in from #2 to #1. It's a great pop song with a tasteful rap thrown in by rapper B.o.B. who I have been told is known for his radio friendly hits. You can listen to this song and check the video out below.

Dengue Fever and Lady Ga Ga make new entries into the top 5 with their respective singles, "Cement Slippers" and "Born This Way", checking in at #4 and #5, up 3 points each. I really love "Cement Slippers". I'm not too cool about "Born This Way". Lady Ga Ga has made better records.

New songs making it to the top 20 this week include "From a Table Away" by new country artist Sunny Sweeney. That record checks in at #19. At number 20 is Rihanna with a dance track called "Who's That Chick".

Fastest rising song this week is Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull's single "On the Floor" moving up from #18 to #11. Certainly this song will be in the top 10 by next week. It already topped the digital singles chart at both iTunes and Amazon.com.

CHART NOTES

The Decemberists hold at #1 for a third week with their hit single, "Down By The Water". The track is taken from their latest album, The King Is Dead.

Adele moves up 1 from #3 to #2 with "Rolling in the Deep". This is the singer's first song to chart on the Weekly Top 20. Also charting for the first time is Jessie J. She leaps moves up 2 from #5 to #3 with her song "Price Tag".

Lady Ga Ga moves into the top 10 going from #12 to #10 with "Born This Way".

Dengue Fever and Group 1 Crew have the fastest moving singles on the chart. Their songs "Cement Slippers" and "Let's Go" (featuring TobyMac) move 8 points from #19 and #20 last week, to #11 and #12 this week. Both songs are certainly top 10 material.

Three former #1 songs are probably spending their last week on the chart. All moving downward, Taylor Swift's "Back to December" slides from #10 to #16; Bruno Mars tumbles from #11 to #17 with "Grenade" and Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup falls from #13 to #18 with "We No Speak Americano". All were #1 songs from earlier this year.

Two debut tracks this week: Contemporary Christian singer Francesca Battistelli checks in at #19 with "This is the Stuff" and Fitz & the Tantrums enter at #20 with a reworked version of "L.O.V."

CHART NOTES

The Decemberists hold at #1 for a second week with their hit single, "Down By The Water". The track is taken from their latest album, The King Is Dead.

The dance track "Stereo Love" from Edward Maya ft. Vika Jigulina climbs a spot from #3 to #2 this week. It has been a top dance track on iTunes for several weeks now. Could it go to #1?

Adele follows at #3 with "Rolling in the Deep", up 3 points from #6. This is the singer's first song to chart on the Weekly Top 20. Also charting for the first time is Jessie J. She leaps up 7 spots from last week's #12 to #5 with her song "Price Tag". I like songs about money, even if it is sort of anti-money in this case. Catchy song and video.

Lady Ga Ga climbs from #19 to #12 with her latest single, "Born This Way". The L.A. rock band Dengue Fever, which does Cambodian rock songs break into the top 20 for the first time with their new single "Cement Slippers" debuting at #19. They're followed by the Christian Alt Rock/Rap singers Group 1 Crew and their latest track "Let's Go" which debuts at #20. Group 1 Crew hit the chart a few weeks ago with their top 20 hit "Live It Up".
