TMJ Charts: M83 Dethrones Santigold

A record-breaking streak of 17 weeks at #1 for Santigold's Disparate Youth has finally come to and end as we now turn our heads to M83 whose Midnight City reigns as the new #1 on the Songs chart. And it comes as big feat, not only because it's the electronic band's first chart-topper but it's a song that has been all over the chart since its debut. It first appeared in early November of last year where it bowed at #74 only to climb to #66 four weeks later before experiencing a brief absence starting early December. By February of this year the song re-enters at #97 and goes up to #42 by late March, before hovering around the lower parts of the chart once again. But it wasn't until early May that the song picks up a steady pace and finally breaks the Top 40. And steady ever since, it's now reached the top as Greatest Gainer in its 27th week on the chart. I can only remember one song that's taken longer to reach the summit and it's Kings Of Leon's Closer which back in 2009 conquered the top in its 37th week.

In other chart news, it's a good week for Flo Rida who sees Wild Ones featuring Sia pick up once again and is the week's Power Play at #18. There's also two debuts from his new album: I Cry is the week's Highest Debut at #29 followed by Run featuring RedFoo at #42. Howler's Black Lagoon is the week's other debut entering at #87. The week's Biggest Jump is Benny Benassi's Close To Me featuring Gary Go, a song that refuses to leave the chart and goes up 45 places to #55.

And a couple of names are also news. First off, Alanis Morissette gets her best chart peak so far as her newest single, Guardian, stands at #7 this week. Her best effort had been Incomplete which went as high as #9 in 2008. Another return to the top belongs to Linkin Park with Burn It Down standing at #10. This is their best chart position since Waiting For The End reached #6 in October of 2010.
