Incubus Still On Top

With three consecutive weeks at the top with Adolescents, Incubus matches the longest stay at the top of the Songs Chart since March of this year. The longest stay so far is four weeks and it was last achieved in February by Marina & The Diamonds with Obsessions, a song that's still making its rounds on the chart, sitting on the lower half at #49 with 21 weeks charting.

This week's highlight is marked by the return of Outasight with three debuts, starting with Figure 8, debuting strong and highest of the week at #13. Along with Life Or Something Like It at #79 and Maybe Next Time at #96, that's five songs for him since he first showed up on the chart last year with Catch Me If You Can, a song that peaked at #4. Other debuts include Wretch 32 featuring Example with Unorthodox opening at #56 and Bruno Mars' Lazy Song at #97.

Adele is proving to be a strong char contender as well as she gets both the Power Play and Biggest Jump of the week with her hit Rolling In The Deep, now at #27 in its second week. The Greatest Gainer is Beth Ditto with I Wrote The Book jumping to #12 in its third week.

Incubus Stays at #1

Incubus enjoys a second showing at #1 this week with their current single Adolescents. This ties Oil And Water from 2007 with two weeks at the top. Their longest stay at the top was Dig which spent 4 consecutive weeks at #1.

Just like last week, the Greatest Gainer once again belongs to The Script with Dead Man Walking, a song that could very well be entering the race to the top, currently at #4. The Power Play and Biggest Jump goes to Beth Ditto with her song I Wrote The Book, which skyrockets to #35 in its second week. The Highest Debut goes to The Magician's Remix to Yuksek's On A Train, opening at #74. More debuts include Adele's global hit, Rolling In The Deep, which finally makes its way into the chart at #98, and Drake's eighth chart entry as lead artist with Karaoke at #99.

Incubus Ascends

No surprise here, but let's point out the fact that just three weeks is what it took for Incubus' comeback single to top the songs chart! Adolescents is not only this band's 17th chart entry but it becomes their 4th chart-topper, following Dig, Oil And Water and Quicksand, all taken from their 2007 release Light Grenades. Black Heart Inertia was their last chart appearance, which debuted in May of 2009 and peaked at #11.

Foo Fighters is now down one spot but still strong with a bullet for Bridge Burning and Lykke Li's Silent My Song rounds the Top 3.

This week's Greatest Gainer belongs to The Script, a band that scored several hits from their self-titled album the last couple of years but has struggled a little with Science & Faith, their sophomore record. That's all about to change now that Dead Man Walking becomes their 5th Top 10 hit entering at #8 in it's second week; and there's more because Long Gone And Moved On is the Biggest Jump with a leap to #54 from last week's #92.

The Power Play track and Highest Debut of the week goes to the Beastie Boys and their single Make Some Noise, entering at #76 as their first track ever to chart. More new entries from Lupe Fiasco's unreleased version of Airplanes, originally made famous by B.o.B and also featuring Paramore's Hayley Williams, coming at #90; Gossip's Beth Ditto solo adventure pays off and now sees her chart debut with I Wrote The Book at #91; Placebo makes a surprise debut with a live version of Bright Lights at #98; Brandon Boyd's Revenge Of The Spectral Tiger comes in at #99 and The Black Eyed Peas earn their 23rd chart entry with The Best One Yet (The Boy) at #100.
