TMJ Charts: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Move to #1

This was really a no-brainer. Chart newcomers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis may have gotten a good start with the growing worldwide hit Thrift Shop four weeks ago, but when their track Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton started off at lucky #7 a week later, the road to the top was paved and they're now crowned kings of the Songs chart for the first time, and with good chances of staying there for what's left of 2012. As for Thrift Shop, the song was just shy of breaking the Top 10, and jumps to #11 this time around.

A lot has been going on in the Top 10 as of late, and this week is no exception. M83 score the greatest gainer song with Steve McQueen moving up a notch to #2. A great follow-up to their former #1 song Midnight City, which by the way spends its 50th week on the chart at #4. Icona Pop is also closer to the top as Manners gains a new peak at #3, Lana Del Rey's Ride moves up two spots to #7 and Imagine Dragons finally jumps the border with It's Time moving up to #9.

This week brings another big debut as well. Rudimental score their second chart entry at #16 with Not Giving In featuring John Newman and Alex Clare. Their song Feel The Love, which also features John Newman on vocals, is up to #50 this week. There are four other debuts, all in the 90-100 range. First up is Aussie duo YesYou featuring Marcus Azon with their first chart entry, Frivolous Life, at #93. Chart veterans The Killers score their 60th entry on the Songs chart with Miss Atomic Bomb debuting at #97, also the third song from the Battle Born era to make the countdown. Lana Del Rey also scores another chart entry, this time with Gods & Monsters making its way to #99. She now has 7 active songs on the chart. And at the very end of the list sits Garbage with Control making its debut at #100.

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.
