The Weekly TMJ Charts - March 29, 2014

Another week, another number one. It's the second consecutive week at the top for Flume & Chet Faker with Left Alone, probably one of the most underrated songs on Flume's self-titled debut album. I'm telling you, this pair sounds so good together it's impossible to skip once it starts playing. And they're so good, in fact, that soon after they released the Jocklaw EP, with all of its three songs currently charting on the chart. As for Left Alone, the song was bound to become one of the big songs this year. It debuted at No. 17 on early November of last year, jumped to the top 10 the week after, and has never left the upper range of the chart since then, becoming a chart-topper 20 weeks after its debut. The song is the first No. 1 for both Aussie artists on this chart.

Flume & Chet Faker - Left Alone

No major debuts this week surprisingly, but lots of movement and new peaks for some of the recent chart additions. Can't forget to mention a soon-to-be reign for Tove Lo who currently owns two spots inside the Top 10. Habits seems to be so close to reaching the top but this week tumbles down again to No. 3 in its 12th week, Out Of Mind jumps 18 as Greatest Gainer track of the week all the way to No. 7, Not On Drugs reaches a new peak at No. 16, Love Ballad leaps back to the Top 20 at No. 17, and Stay High (Habits Remix) skyrockets from 59 to 31 in its 2nd week.

Hozier's Take Me To Church bounces back to No. 2, Cherub reaches a No. 4 peak with Doses & Mimosas in its 6th week on the chart, Major Lazer & Pharrell Williams jump 5 to No. 5 with Aerosol Can, Wild Cub enters the Top 10 at No. 8 with Thunder Clatter and The War On Drugs come back for a second shot at the top with Red Eyes at No. 10.

The War On Drugs - Red Eyes

Good moves for Artifice by SOHN at No. 12, Hero by Frank Ocean, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon & Diplo enters the Top 20 at No. 19 in its second week on the chart, Come With Me Now by KONGOS reach a new peak at No. 27, as does Magic by Coldplay at No. 36 this week.

The Biggest Jump and Power Play track of the week belongs to Bastille with the Laura Palmer RAC Remix. The song comes back with a bang leaping from 94 to a new peak at No. 46.

The Weekly TMJ Charts - March 1, 2014

It looks like Vance Joy will not be leaving the top of the charts any time soon as he collects a 4th week at #1 with Riptide. But nothing's written in stone as there's close competition with Left Alone by Flume and Chet Faker returning to its #2 peak after charting for 18 weeks and Cardiac Arrest by Bad Suns being the Greatest Gainer track of week with a jump from #19 to #7. Foster The People also enters the race to the top with Coming Of Age moving up 4 to #8.

The week's highlight in the Songs Chart is also the Highest New entry. Young The Giant makes a strong debut at #14 with Anagram, personally, the best song off their recent release Mind Over Matter. A second album track from the band, Firelight, also enters the chart at #84. Other debuts include Bridges by Broods at #82, Home By Now by Bombay Bicycle Club at #98, Blue Moon by Beck at #99, and Can You Do This by Aloe Blacc at #100.

The Weekly TMJ Charts - February 22, 2014

Another week rolls by and it sees Vance Joy keep the top spot of the Songs chart for a third consecutive round with Riptide. Honestly, this is the kind of song that gets a 'meh!' on a first listen but then gets stuck in your head after the third or fourth. It's also really surprising because it's a style of music that I don't normally listen to, but for some reason it's there, and all that I can do is just hit the replay button time and time again. Just a feel good song I guess..

And what's with all the Aussies taking over the whole chart?! This week's Greatest Gainer is This Song Is Not About A Girl by Flume and Chet Faker, both of whom also take over the top spot of the Albums charts with the amazing collaborative Lockjaw EP. The song gains 75 chart points and makes a jump to #2. They also bounce back one spot to #3 with Left Alone after 17 weeks.

Good moves this week for chart newbies DARKSIDE with Paper Trails and Phantogram with Fall In Love who make their way to the top 10 at #6 and #8, respectively, after only 5 weeks. Foster The People's new single Coming Of Age starts warming up on the ears and jumps 20 to #12 - their third highest chart peak so far after Pumped Up Kicks (#2) and Call It What You Want (#11) from 2011. Bad Suns, which has become a guilty pleasure with their Cardiac Arrest, makes a big jump to #19 this week. But the biggest Jump belongs to Wild Cub with Thunder Clatter moving up 29 spots to #47.

Foster The People - Coming Of Age

Mr. Probz, another artist making its way into the chart for the first time, gets the Highest New Entry with the Robin Schulz Remix to Waves debuting at #34. Chart royalty Mariah Carey makes has a couple of debuts with her new single You're Mine (Eternal) (#96) and it's remix with Trey Songz (#49) - marking her 97th and 98th main chart entries so far! More new songs include Beck's Waking Light (#69), Cherub's Doses & Mimosas (#78), Magic Man's Paris (#80), MØ's Don't Wanna Dance (#81), The National's I Need My Girl (#91), U2's Invisible (#92), N.A.S.A. & Aynzli Jones' Hide (Tropkillaz Remix) (#93), Sam Smith's acoustic version of Disclosure's Latch (#94), and Diplo's Revolution (RUN DMT Remix) (#95).

TMJ Charts: Walk The Moon at #1

Good going for WALK THE MOON this week as the band scores its 4th consecutive week at #1 with Tightrope on the Songs chart and a 2nd week at #1 on the Albums chart with their self-titled release. It is though the first week the song has decreased in points so we'll see now how much longer they can hold on to the top spot. For now, they move ahead as the longest running #1 song of the year.


Swedish House Mafia makes small steps towards the top with Don't You Worry Child featuring John Martin as it remains steady at #2. They also hold the #1 song on the Recurrent Songs chart once again this week with Miami 2 Ibiza. Another contender for top song is the group OneRepublic which scores the Greatest Gainer song of the week with the new single If I Lose Myself as it makes a leap to #4. Paul Banks gets a new peak with Young Again going to #9, while Ra Ra Riot makes a long awaited return to the Top 10 as Beta Love moves seven to #10. Deftones move ahead four spots to #14 with Tempest, YesYou go Top 20 as Frivolous Life jumps to #17, Madness by Muse leaps five to #21, and Alt-J goes to #29 with Breezeblocks. The Biggest Jump of the week belongs to Chet Faker's formidable cover of Blackstreet's No Diggity as it moves 44 spots to #42.

There are six debuts this week starting with Paramore's return to the chart via their new single Now at #67, followed by another chart return by Fall Out Boy with My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up) entering at #79. James Blake makes a chart debut with Retrograde at #80, Kimbra scores the #92 spot with the Mark Foster and A-Track assisted Warrior, Passenger's Let Her Go enters at #94, and A$AP Rocky gets his first chart entry with Fuckin' Problems at #96.
