TMJ Charts: Santigold Is Not Giving Up Yet

There's no stopping Santigold on the charts as she extends her record-breaking #1 run to 17 consecutive weeks with Disparate Youth. At this point I'm just trying to figure out what other song will be able to stay on top for so long, so what we're talking about here is basically hall-of-fame status. I should move along and try to compile a list of historic events that have left a mark in the charts. In the meantime, it's a good thing we still have new live performances to post from Santigold.

Disparate Youth (Live at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend)


Going back to this week's charts, there's a serious threat of a new #1, probably very soon. WZRD stays at #2 with a bullet with Love Hard, while, out of nowhere, electronic band M83 shoots for the stars as Midnight City raises from the ashes and scores Greatest Gainer honors with a move to #4, this is after lingering up and down the charts for 25 weeks. Friendly Fires is not giving up yet and stays at #3 once again with Chimes, and Lana Del Rey returns for a second round at the Top 10 with Blue Jeans moving to #9.

Strong re-entries for Jay-Z and Kanye West who score Power Play of the week with Niggas In Paris, and Birdy's Without A Word goes all the way to #33. The Biggest Jump of the week is another song that's not ready to lose steam yet: Gym Class Heroes and Neon Hitch scale back to the top half of the chart at #48 with Ass Back Home.

On the Recurrent Charts we see Kings Of Leon once again at the top with Notion for a total of 7 weeks at #1, while Santigold recovers her spot at the throne with Master Of My Make-Believe for a total of five non-consecutive weeks at #1.

TMJ Charts: Santigold Wins the Race

So, who won the 8th week at the top race? Once again it's Santigold holding on to the #1 spot of the Songs chart with Disparate Youth, off her newest album release Master Of My Make-Believe. The song has now spent eight consecutive weeks at the top out of the nine its spent on the chart. Amazing, isn't it? That leaves Gotye and Kimbra waiting in line for a not-unlikely return to the top as Somebody That I Used To Know gets stuck at #2 for yet another week. Both songs see gains this week, but with Santigold as winner you get to enjoy my favorite Disparate Youth remix so far:

Disparate Youth (The 2 Bears Remix) by Santigold


And again, watch out for Friendly Fires as they're coming in with full force and get Greatest Gainers honors again this week as Chimes jumps up five to #3. If it eventually reaches the top, it'll become their third #1 single off Pala.

A new addiction and a new addition to the charts is Alex Clare, whose The Lateness Of The Hour album has got me on a loop for this past week. And he's coming with a bang, reaching the Hot Shot and Highest Debut as Humming Bird enters directly at #22. Expect other songs from Alex Clare's album to enter the charts in the coming weeks.

Other chart entries this week include Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull's Dance Again debuting at #92; Drake, Lil Wayne and Tyga debut at #95 with a remix to The Motto; and another chart first for Birdy, making her debut at #96 with the song Without A Word. Lana Del Rey's Off To The Races is the Biggest Jump at #39 this week, while David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris resurface at #80 as Power Play of the week with Little Bad Girl. Good moves as well for Justin Bieber's Boyfriend (lol!) with a new peak at #36, while Gym Class Heroes and Neon Hitch rebound to #43 with Ass Back Home.

Marina & The Diamonds stays at the #1 spot of the Recurrent Songs charts with Obsessions, while Friendly Fires' Pala returns to the top of the Albums chart for a total of sixteen weeks at #1.
