TMJ Charts: A Late Welcome to 2013

Time to get back to business! First of all, I hope everyone got to have a good time during the holidays. It's kind of late to still be talking about that, I know, but since I disappeared for most of December I figured I'd start with that. Second, I'm trying to get the stats for my 'Best of 2012' countdowns, so that should be out shortly. It's also late for that, but whatever. It's coming.

Now onto our current charts! Little has changed at the top of the charts since the last commentary. No way, right? Macklemore & Ryan Lewis still dominate the Songs chart with Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton. That's week number five at the top for them. But aha! It should be six if you were keeping track. Actually no, because Rudimental, John Newman and Alex Clare managed to sneak in to #1 for the last chart week of December with Not Giving In. They're now down to #6 for the current chart.

Lana Del Rey battles herself and now reaches a new peak of 4 with her track Blue Jeans, which is now the oldest song in the Top 10 with 42 weeks on the chart, while Ride sits at #5. And some fresh new music is coming along the way. Walk The Moon's Tightrope starts the new year with a #3 peak so far, Angel's Wonderful is stuck at #7 and Bruno Mars skyrockets to #9 with Gorilla. Speaking of fresh new music, new entries this week include Lana Del Rey's Blue Velvet at #81, the Lazy Rich Remix of Avicii's Silhouettes at #83, Kid Cudi's King Wizard at #93, and a triple-combo from Bruno Mars with Moonshine at #98, Money Make Her Smile at #99 and If I Knew at #100.

Also, will.i.am is finally on his way to scoring his first big hit on the chart, as a solo artist that is, with the catchy Britney Spears duet, Scream And Shout, being this week's everything at #19. The song is Power Play track of the week, the Greatest Gainer, and the Biggest Jump with a 26-spot leap in only its second week.

On the Recurrent Songs chart we have the should-have-been-#1-on-the-main-chart Chimes by Friendly Fires at the top for the second week in a row, while Lana Del Rey dominates on the Albums chart with Born To Die, currently in its 7th non-consecutive week at #1.
