White Lies Takes The Top Spot

A new song reigns this week's chart and it's the band White Lies making a quick landing to the #1 spot with Bigger Than Us. It comes to no surprise because they did have a big debut at #17 just four weeks ago, though it's good to note that this is the first song by the band to chart, so it's quite the good accomplishment. This is also the first song by a band to go all the way since Kings Of Leon made it to the top with Radioactive in late October of last year.

But White Lies gets more than the #1 spot as several songs from their Ritual album also debut this week including Turn The Bells, Peace & Quiet, Strangers, Bad Love and Holy Ghost occupying the #95 through #99 spots.

Another artist to pay attention to is, of course, Lykke Li. If you've been following the blog you would know by now that I'm currently kind of obsessed with her. This week not only her I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix) is a close call by jumping to the #2 spot, repeating as Greatest Gainer, but the release of her Wounded Rhymes album makes several of her songs Hot Shot Debuts including the Highest Debut, Love Out Of Lust (#30), Youth Knows No Pain (#90), Jerome (#92), Unrequited Love (#93) and the original I Follow Rivers (#94).

Also making a big debut is the Chris Brown and Benny Benassi collaboration, Beautiful People, which lands at #34 as Power Play of the week; We Are Tokyo also make their chart debut with The Best In Me (Ninetynine's Nightmare Remix) entering at #55; Neon Trees makes it times three with 1983 leading at #59, Our War at #69 and Love And Affection at #82; also new to the chart is The Radio Dept. who debut at #91 with Never Follow Suit and finally Katy Perry scores a second E.T. remix on the chart as the Tiësto take on her new single enters at #100. The E.T. (Benny Benassi Remix) is so far having the better luck jumping to #26 in it's second week.

The Biggest Jump belongs to the second single by rapper Lupe Fiasco featuring Skylar Grey, Words I Never Said going up 34 spots to land at #12 this week. Expect it to get a boost by next week which coincides with the long-awaited release of his third studio album, Lasers.
