TMJ Charts: Santigold Still On Top

I guess I take it seriously when it comes to taking a "small break" because it's been too long since I last posted a chart commentary. Not that I was asked for a reason, but I just needed to come clean in case you were wondering. Anyway, I can't remember exactly what the last post was about but I'm guessing Santigold was topping the songs chart when that happened. And if you were expecting any type of changes there, well, it's not your lucky day. Seven weeks have gone by and she still rocks the top with her Disparate Youth. Wait, what? You have not listened to this amazing song yet? Well I suggest you do, like, right now:



And with Santigold not wanting to leave the throne any time soon, so do Gotye and Kimbra. Their chart, and now worldwide hit Somebody That I Used To Know, is back at #2. Let's remember that they also spent 7 weeks at the top before Santigold took over. So, who will get the eighth? A return to the top for Gotye would be quite a feat and a chart first. Santigold, Gotye. Gotye, Santigold. Is anybody else trying to push ahead of these two? Actually, there is. This past week I re-discovered some Friendly Fires songs (yes, again!) and Chimes gets the ticket! The song is Greatest Gainer and Jump with an incredible 77 spot move to #8 this week. Show Me Lights is another winner as Power Play of the week, rebounding all the way to #25 in its 18th week on the chart. Both songs score new chart peaks, by the way. If you can recall, Friendly Fires scored two #1 songs: the record-breaking Hawaiian Air, followed by Blue Cassette.

Other big movers include Calvin Harris with a song that past me by last year and is just starting to get the regular plays. Feel So Close is the title and jumps this week to #21. LMFAO and Natalia Kills get a second chance with Champagne Showers getting a new peak at #28, while Chris Brown and Benny Benassi rebound and place themselves at #30 with Beautiful People.

An oddly slow-paced chart this week for some other peeps. Adele is still hanging in there with two of the oldest charting songs in the Top 10: Set Fire To The Rain gets a new peak at #6 in its 35th week while Someone Like You loses momentum and falls to #7 in its 38th week. 21, on the other hand scores it's 15th week at the top of the Albums chart! KT Tunstall scores a new chart entry with The Punk as Highest Debut of the week while Drake and Rihanna round it up with Take Care making its entrance at #88.

And speaking of Marina & The Diamonds... Actually, in reference to all the videos posted for her new upcoming release, Electra Heart, she scores the #1 spot of the Recurrent Songs Chart with Obsessions.
