TMJ Charts: Walk The Moon to the Top

It's turning out to be a varied start of the year as a fourth title is crowned at #1. It's also the return of the bands now that chart newbies WALK THE MOON climb that last step to the top with Tightrope, getting their first chart-topper after 10 weeks on the countdown, with the last six being inside the top 4. And things look good for this band as it scores a notable second chart entry this week with anywayican being the Highest Debut at #76.


The fall is not too steep for last week's #1. Scream & Shout by will.i.am and Britney Spears is down only to #2 this week. Chances of returning to the top are likely, I might add. The Lumineers score a new #3 peak with Ho Hey after 15 weeks on the chart and Swedish House Mafia fight a second round in the race for the top as Don't You Worry Child bounces back to #4. Mumford & Sons get their first Top 10 with I Will Wait jumping to #5, but Macklemore & Ryan Lewis get their second now that Thrift Shop finally breaks in and leaps to #8.

Phillip Phillips gets the Greatest Gainer title with Home making a big jump to #13, with the Biggest Jump belonging to Public Enemy's Harder Than You Think which is up 36 spots to #64. A few chart entries include the return of The Airborne Toxic Event (last charted in 2009) with Timeless at #77. Fabolous and Chris Brown debut at #78 with Ready, while Bat For Lashes scores her first entry with Lilies at #79. Last but not least is Asaf Avidan & The Mojos who come in with One Day / Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Rmx) at #82.

A notable mention goes out to Hawaiian Air by Friendly Fires which officially leaves the Songs chart as of this week. The song debuted at the #61 position on July 16, 2011 and became one of the biggest songs ever with 15 consecutive weeks (from September 9 to December 23) at #1, making it the second title with the most weeks at the top (tied with Mariah Carey's We Belong Together), and surpassed only by last year's Disparate Youth by Santigold which ranks first with 19 weeks at #1. In total, Hawaiian Air spent 81 uninterrupted weeks on the countdown. The feat makes it the third longest running title on the Songs chart after Florence + The Machine' Cosmic Love (86 weeks) and The Script's Before The Worst (97 weeks). It also ranked as the #2 song on the year-end charts of 2011. That being said, the oldest song currently charting is now Friendly Fires' Blue Cassette which is up to its 67th week on the chart so far.

The Recurrent Songs chart has Swedish House Mafia returning to the top with Miami 2 Ibiza, while Lana Del Rey's Born To Die spends its first anniversary on the Albums chart once again at #1.
