TMJ Charts: Walk The Moon to the Top

It's turning out to be a varied start of the year as a fourth title is crowned at #1. It's also the return of the bands now that chart newbies WALK THE MOON climb that last step to the top with Tightrope, getting their first chart-topper after 10 weeks on the countdown, with the last six being inside the top 4. And things look good for this band as it scores a notable second chart entry this week with anywayican being the Highest Debut at #76.


The fall is not too steep for last week's #1. Scream & Shout by will.i.am and Britney Spears is down only to #2 this week. Chances of returning to the top are likely, I might add. The Lumineers score a new #3 peak with Ho Hey after 15 weeks on the chart and Swedish House Mafia fight a second round in the race for the top as Don't You Worry Child bounces back to #4. Mumford & Sons get their first Top 10 with I Will Wait jumping to #5, but Macklemore & Ryan Lewis get their second now that Thrift Shop finally breaks in and leaps to #8.

Phillip Phillips gets the Greatest Gainer title with Home making a big jump to #13, with the Biggest Jump belonging to Public Enemy's Harder Than You Think which is up 36 spots to #64. A few chart entries include the return of The Airborne Toxic Event (last charted in 2009) with Timeless at #77. Fabolous and Chris Brown debut at #78 with Ready, while Bat For Lashes scores her first entry with Lilies at #79. Last but not least is Asaf Avidan & The Mojos who come in with One Day / Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Rmx) at #82.

A notable mention goes out to Hawaiian Air by Friendly Fires which officially leaves the Songs chart as of this week. The song debuted at the #61 position on July 16, 2011 and became one of the biggest songs ever with 15 consecutive weeks (from September 9 to December 23) at #1, making it the second title with the most weeks at the top (tied with Mariah Carey's We Belong Together), and surpassed only by last year's Disparate Youth by Santigold which ranks first with 19 weeks at #1. In total, Hawaiian Air spent 81 uninterrupted weeks on the countdown. The feat makes it the third longest running title on the Songs chart after Florence + The Machine' Cosmic Love (86 weeks) and The Script's Before The Worst (97 weeks). It also ranked as the #2 song on the year-end charts of 2011. That being said, the oldest song currently charting is now Friendly Fires' Blue Cassette which is up to its 67th week on the chart so far.

The Recurrent Songs chart has Swedish House Mafia returning to the top with Miami 2 Ibiza, while Lana Del Rey's Born To Die spends its first anniversary on the Albums chart once again at #1.

TMJ Charts: Time to Scream... and Shout

It's good, once in a while, to take some time and indulge in some guilty pleasures. I admit this is not the best song out there at the moment, but I just can't seem to escape it. At the same time, both will.i.am and Britney Spears score their first chart-topper ever with this collaboration titled Scream And Shout. The song made steady gains since its debut four weeks ago and reaches the summit as the Greatest Gainer track of the week. It's the best chart position for will.i.am as a main artist after This Is Love, which has, so far, peaked at #36. As a featured artist he's reached #1 twice with Usher's OMG and Flo Rida's In The Ayer. For Britney, it's her best chart position after Till The World Ends, which managed to reach the #7 position. The pair's other collaboration, Big Fat Bass, reached #15 and charted for 29 weeks.


But will it just be a short-lived moment, like last week's #1 Steve McQueen by M83? Closing in on the action is Walk The Moon which is now up to #2 with Tightrope. The band has slowly and steady been climbing up the chart for the past 9 weeks. The Lumineers score a new chart high as well with Ho Hey jumping to #4, No Doubt's Looking Hot looks also good at #8 and The Wallflowers get their first Top 10 hit with Reboot The Mission.

Ra Ra Riot makes a big comeback to the charts with Beta Love scoring the Highest Debut at #76. The band had not seen any action since 2008/2009 when Too Too Too Fast became one of the top songs ever on the chart with a 66-week run and a #4 peak. Another return includes the band Muse which has not seen any song chart since 2010's Undisclosed Desires. The band gets a new debut with Madness at #93. The Cataracs score their first chart entry with Alcohol Remix at #97, and so does Tame Impala with the double take Feels Like We Only Go Backwards at #98 and Be Above It at #99. Public Enemy also sees its first chart entry now that Harder Than You Think debuts at #100.

The track with the Biggest Jump this week is Temper Trap's Never Again which leaps 43 spots to #50.

TMJ Charts: A Late Welcome to 2013

Time to get back to business! First of all, I hope everyone got to have a good time during the holidays. It's kind of late to still be talking about that, I know, but since I disappeared for most of December I figured I'd start with that. Second, I'm trying to get the stats for my 'Best of 2012' countdowns, so that should be out shortly. It's also late for that, but whatever. It's coming.

Now onto our current charts! Little has changed at the top of the charts since the last commentary. No way, right? Macklemore & Ryan Lewis still dominate the Songs chart with Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton. That's week number five at the top for them. But aha! It should be six if you were keeping track. Actually no, because Rudimental, John Newman and Alex Clare managed to sneak in to #1 for the last chart week of December with Not Giving In. They're now down to #6 for the current chart.

Lana Del Rey battles herself and now reaches a new peak of 4 with her track Blue Jeans, which is now the oldest song in the Top 10 with 42 weeks on the chart, while Ride sits at #5. And some fresh new music is coming along the way. Walk The Moon's Tightrope starts the new year with a #3 peak so far, Angel's Wonderful is stuck at #7 and Bruno Mars skyrockets to #9 with Gorilla. Speaking of fresh new music, new entries this week include Lana Del Rey's Blue Velvet at #81, the Lazy Rich Remix of Avicii's Silhouettes at #83, Kid Cudi's King Wizard at #93, and a triple-combo from Bruno Mars with Moonshine at #98, Money Make Her Smile at #99 and If I Knew at #100.

Also, will.i.am is finally on his way to scoring his first big hit on the chart, as a solo artist that is, with the catchy Britney Spears duet, Scream And Shout, being this week's everything at #19. The song is Power Play track of the week, the Greatest Gainer, and the Biggest Jump with a 26-spot leap in only its second week.

On the Recurrent Songs chart we have the should-have-been-#1-on-the-main-chart Chimes by Friendly Fires at the top for the second week in a row, while Lana Del Rey dominates on the Albums chart with Born To Die, currently in its 7th non-consecutive week at #1.

'Scream And Shout' by will.i.am feat. Britney Spears

Scream And Shout is the newest promotional single from will.i.am's upcoming, and quite delayed studio album #willpower, which is now set for an early December release. This new collaboration features vocals from pop star Britney Spears. The pair worked previously on a song called Big Fat Bass which was then included in Spears' 2011 album release Femme Fatale.

DJ Earworm › World Go Boom (United State Of Pop 2011 Mash-Up)

I had completely forgotten about this, which is not a good look since these are about the only mash-ups I listen to, ever. Once again DJ Earworm brings us the top Billboard hits of the year all rolled into one big production, both sonically and visually. World Go Boom is the title for this year's mash-up.

More Friendly Fires

It's safe to say that one of the the biggest surprises this year has been Friendly Fires' consistency and longevity at the top of the charts, both on Songs and Albums. With 12 weeks at #1, Hawaiian Air is now the third tune to stay the longest at the pole position of the Songs chart, only three weeks away from the record held by Mariah Carey's We Belong Together back in 2005. Meanwhile, Pala proves to be a strong contender in the albums of the year category now that it spends its tenth week at #1, thanks of course to Hawaiian Air's chart history and others like Live Those Days Tonight and Show Me Lights.

So for now, Paradise by Coldplay has to settle once again with the #2 position, while White Lies surprises as Greatest Gainer with The Power & The Glory which jumps to #9 in its fourth week. With 20 weeks on the chart, Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine rebounds as Biggest Jump to the #24 position and Incubus returns with Friends And Lovers as both Power Play and Highest Debut this week at #43.

No Match For Friendly Fires

Another week comes, a few things don't change. That is Friendly Fires still ruling the Top Songs and Top Albums charts. Moving closer to the record, Hawaiian Air stands now at 11 consecutive weeks at the #1 position while, once again, besting the point rank of its chart run. Three closest competitors have come and gone and a fourth one comes with Coldplay's Paradise moving up five to #2. There's still no giving up with Florence + The Machine's Shake It Out, Foster The People's Pumped Up Kicks and Young The Giant's My Body rounding up the top five.

On the other charts, Pala enjoys a 9th week on the top of the Albums Chart while Domestic Scene by The Radio Dept. also spends its 11th week on the top of the Recurrent Songs Chart. A new #1 song mixes it up on the Shared Top 50 Songs chart as Britney Spears jumps 16 spots to lead with her latest single Criminal.

Britney Spears › Criminal

I'm not a huge fan but if I had to choose one song from Britney Spears' latest album Femme Fatale, it'd have to be this one, so it was a nice surprise to find out that a video for Criminal was in the works and it was an even bigger surprise seeing the final result. Maybe a little over the top story-wise, but her best one so far for this release.



Criminal debuted on the Top Songs Chart last April and reached a #11 peak. The video release can definitely put it back on the charts.

Pepsi 'Music Icons' Ad

The soft drink brand recently premiered their latest TV ad which pays homage to some of our favorite Music Icons. These stars have, of course, participated in the past with their own Pepsi ads and the result is a montage of nostalgic images of some of our generation's biggest stars. To top it off, one of my favorite up and coming artists, Outasight, lends the song Tonight Is The Night to put the musical touch. Watch, in order of appearance, spots by Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Britney Spears, Kanye West and Mariah Carey.



Let's revisit these stars' past Pepsi commercials:

Michael Jackson (1987)


Ray Charles (1990)


Britney Spears (1999)


Kanye West (2005)


Mariah Carey (2006)

The 'I Wanna Go' Remixes by Britney Spears

Britney Spears, Rihanna Kick Off Billboard Music Awards

From Billboard.com:

Britney Spears and Rihanna kicked off the Billboard Music Awards in head-turning fashion Sunday night (May 22), with a racy live performance of their "S&M" remix complete with bejeweled handcuffs, pole dancing and a playful pillow fight.

Rihanna, whose "S&M" single shot up to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 after she teamed up with Spears for the remix, led the duet in an all-white, bondage-inspired outfit, as silver gloved hands emerged from the floor and dancers surrounded her.

Watch the performance below:

All About Adele

From Billboard.com:

As Adele spends a seventh week atop the Billboard 200 with her sophomore set "21," the album's lead single, "Rolling in the Deep," becomes the singer/songwriter's first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1.

(As for the title's meaning, Adele describes it as an "adaptation of a kind of slang, slur phrase in the UK called 'roll deep,' which means to ... always have someone that has your back, and you're never on your own. I thought that's what I was always going to have, and, um, it ended up not being the case").

Since the Hot 100 adopted Nielsen BDS and SoundScan airplay and sales data, respectively, the week of Nov. 30, 1991 (after the Billboard 200 had converted to SoundScan-fueled figures in the May 25, 1991, issue), Adele is the 14th woman to command each chart simultaneously. (The fairer sex wins bragging rights: 12 solo males have accomplished the feat in that span).

Among the exclusive club, Whitney Houston has spent the most weeks (12) concurrently in charge of each chart, with "I Will Always Love You" from "The Bodyguard" (Dec. 12, 1992-Feb. 27, 1993), while Mariah Carey (three) and Janet Jackson (two) are the only artists to so doubly dominate with multiple albums.

Carey is also the only woman in that stretch to simultaneously rule the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 with two singles from the same set; "Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day," with Boyz II Men, each fronted the Hot 100 while "Daydream" dominated the Billboard 200.

Here is a look at the who's-who of female stars who have topped the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 in the same week in the charts' Nielsen data eras:

Artist, Billboard 200 No. 1, Hot 100 No. 1(s), Year(s)
Adele, "21," "Rolling in the Deep," 2011
Ke$ha, "Animal," "TiK ToK," 2010
Leona Lewis, "Spirit," "Bleeding Love," 2008
Alicia Keys, "As I Am," "No One," 2007
Avril Lavigne, "The Best Damn Thing," "Girlfriend," 2007
Nelly Furtado, "Loose," "Promiscuous" (featuring Timbaland), 2006
Mariah Carey, "The Emancipation of Mimi," "We Belong Together," 2005
Beyonce, "Dangerously in Love," "Crazy in Love" (featuring Jay-Z), 2003
Ashanti, "Ashanti," "Foolish," 2002
Jennifer Lopez, "J to Tha L-O! The Remixes," "Ain't It Funny" (featuring Ja Rule), 2002
Janet Jackson, "All for You," "All for You," 2001
Madonna, "Music," "Music," 2000
Britney Spears, "...Baby One More Time," ...Baby One More Time," 1999
Mariah Carey, "Daydream," "Fantasy"/"One Sweet Day" (with Boyz II Men), 1995-96
Mariah Carey, "Music Box," "Hero," 1993-94
Janet Jackson, "janet.," "That's the Way Love Goes," 1993
Whitney Houston, "The Bodyguard" (soundtrack), "I Will Always Love You," 1992-93

US Charts: Adele Continues To Dominate

From Rolling Stone:

WINNER OF THE WEEK: Adele. In an era when the record business is severely handicapped from breaking new stars, with certain crucial exceptions such as Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, the British singer-songwriter has sold roughly 1.2 million copies of her album 21. Plus, she's establishing a rare quality – staying power on the pop charts. She returns to Number One this week, selling 153,000 copies, after giving ground to the Foo Fighters last week. So far, she's doing everything right, particularly building buzz with a concert tour by "underplaying" venues, such as the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, rather than abruptly jumping to summer amphitheatres that she probably is still too new to sell out. Easter Weekend helped her sales, as did Haley Reinhart's red-polka-dotted-dress version of her unstoppable single "Rolling in the Deep" on American Idol last week. (The single also hit Number One on iTunes' weekly chart.) In addition to being pretty great, Adele fits snugly into the void Amy Winehouse left when she disappeared to do her drugs or what-not – tough, soulful singer with a killer, Motown-style, R&B band.

LOSER OF THE WEEK: Lady Gaga, whose second single "Judas" dropped from Number Four to Number Six on Billboard's Hot 100, and from Number Four to Number Five on iTunes' Songs chart. Our feeling about this song is pretty much summed up in the following YouTube comment: "TUNA TUN-NA-NA, TUNA TUN-NA-NA, TUNA TUN-GA-GA, TUNA TUN-NA-NA She likes tuna's lots!!!_" Nonetheless, it's up to more than 11 million views, and could easily reverse direction on the charts as soon as Gaga emerges from her bunker to do more aggressive promotion in her new, improved meat dress. The current leg of her long-running Monster Ball tour concluded Wednesday in Cleveland, just in time for Gaga to shift focus to Born this Way, due May 27th.

A WORD ABOUT THE BIEBS: The traditional charts (and we include iTunes in this description) may be all about Adele, Glee, and Alison Krauss and Union Station, but Justin Bieber is clearly still King of the Internet. Billboard's Social50 chart – which uses technology by Boulder, Colorado, startup Next Big Sound to determine the top artists on social networks such as Facebook, YouTube and MySpace – ranks the Biebs Number One for the second week in a row. (He displaced Gaga from the top slot last week.) Sales aside, which means not taking account geezers who still, you know, buy units of music at stores, this chart is a pretty good estimation of what artists are truly popular with the kids. The top 10: Bieber, Gaga, Rihanna, Eminem, Shakira, Katy Perry, Lil Wayne, Black Eyed Peas and Britney Spears.

Lykke Li Still on Top, Foo Fighters Return

That's now two weeks at the top spot of the Songs Chart for Lykke Li with Love Out Of Lust and five consecutive for a female artist - the most so far in 2011 and the longest stay since last year's Teenage Dream by Katy Perry which spent seven weeks at #1.

As this week's Highest Debut we see Foo Fighters with Bridge Burning at #39, the beast opening track to their upcoming new album Wasting Light (coming out next week). This song marks a welcome return for the band to the chart since Word Forward went on to spend three weeks on top at exactly this time last year. More new entries include the Britney Spears / will.i.am collaboration Big Fat Bass at #66, a first for The Vaccines with Post Break-Up Sex at #70, also a first for Jim Jones and Clinton Sparks with Perfect Day debuting at #92, Call Me Back by The Strokes at #98 and two more entries for Lupe Fiasco with State Run Radio and Break The Chain at #69 and #95 respectively.

This week's Greatest Gainer track belongs to Brandon Flowers' Jilted Love & Broken Heart which reaches a new peak at #3 and also becomes his third Top 10 hit on the chart. Only The Young also reached #3 and more recently Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas went to #5. The Biggest Jump goes to Criminal by Britney Spears, which leaps 55 spots to #41 this week.
