But with a few weeks left for 2012, another song is seriously making its way to the top and will, most likely, be the last chart-topper of the year. I'm talking about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton, which after a strong debut at #7 last week, jumps all the way to #2 as Greatest Gainer. Steve McQueen by M83 scores a new peak at #3; and so does Placebo, whose B3 goes up two notches to #4. Lana Del Rey scores her fifth top ten hit with Ride jumping six spots to #9.
The Biggest Jump goes to Mumford & Sons' Babel which is up 35 spots to #55. Honorable mentions as well for Sky Ferreira who is up to #39 with Everything Is Embarrassing, Linkin Park's Lost In The Echo which is up 28 spots to #54, The Script & will.i.am are up 24 to #69, and Lana Del Rey's American is up to #46.
We have six new entries this week, the first three being chart newbies. First off is AWOLNATION's Sail which scores the highest debut at #56, followed by Walk The Moon's Tightrope at #77, and Tuka's Die A Happy Man featuring Jane Tyrrell at #82. The other three debuts are all by returning female artists. First is Ellie Goulding who we last saw in mid 2011 with Lights. She's back now with Figure 8 at #86. Christina Aguilera sees a second song from her Lotus album debut as Empty Words enters at #87. And last but not least, Kelly Clarkson returns to the chart with Catch My Breath at #97.
The Recurrent Songs chart has Young Blood by The Naked And Famous at #1 for a third consecutive week, while M83 reconquers the top spot of the Album charts with Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. for a total of 6 weeks at #1.
