Lykke Li & The Magician Go To #1

It was really just a matter of time. I do believe White Lies deserved a couple more weeks at the top with Bigger Than Us because I really like that song, but who knows, they might make a comeback later on. Now that they're down to #3 it means there's a new #1 this week and it belongs to none other than Lykke Li and her I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix). This is the singer's first chart-topper, and not just any chart-topper, because it's only the second remixed song to go all the way to the top in the history of the chart. The first one was the Benny Benassi remix to Available by Flo Rida and Akon, which started its two-week stay at #1 in September of 2009.

Listen & Download: I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix) by Lykke Li


But Lykke Li continues to dominate my music playlist as this week she once again is Greatest Gainer, this time with her song Love Out Of Lust, which goes to #8 in its second week. I Know Places is Power Play of the week at #75 and Get Some, her first charted song, re-enters at #87. The original I Follow Rivers is the Biggest Jump to #47 from last week's #94.

In terms of new entries Britney Spears scores the Hot Shot and Highest Debut this week with her second single off Femme Fatale. Debuting at #51, Till The World Ends proves to be a much better performer than its predecessor Hold It Against Me which only managed to peak at #57 and stay on the chart for 5 weeks. This is only the singer's fourth song to enter the chart.

Many first timers are welcomed to the chart this week starting with The Decemberists and their song This Is Why We Fight, also Power Play of the week, at #74; Mogwai debut at #89 with White Noise; Ryan Adams debuts at #95 with Disappyramid; The Shoes enter at #99 with Wastin' Time and Radiohead start with Lotus Flower and Little By Little at #88 and #100 respectively. More new songs include Cee Lo Green's It's OK at #93 and Usher's More at #97.
