Digital Charts: The Grammy's & Whitney

It'd normally be a post-Grammy frenzy but this past week was marked by the sad news and posterior bittersweet chart comeback of a true legend and one of the greatest female vocalists in contemporary music. Much like with the passing of other musicians including Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse or Etta James, the unexpected death of Whitney Houston has the music world going back to her biggest and most notorious hit songs, which nowadays represents a form of homage to an artist's legacy. So it comes to no surprise that this week's Digital Songs chart is led by one of her most memorable hit songs, I Will Always Love You, which is this week's most downloaded song worldwide according to iTunes. But that's just one of several songs she's being remembered by. The highest new entry this week is I Have Nothing (#17), followed by Greatest Love Of All (#19), Saving All My Love (#29), One Moment In Time (#31), Where Do Broken Hearts Go (#94) and All At Once (#98). Grammy-wise, it was a good week for Katy Perry and her new single Part Of Me entering at #30, followed by Foo Fighters with Walk coming at #55 and Chris Brown's Turn Up The Music at #59. See more...

Not surprisingly, Adele's big night at the Grammy's makes her album 21 take the #1 spot once again while her first album 19 re-enters the top ten at #9. Bon Iver see their self-titled set re-enter at #61 as does Skrillex with Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites re-entering at #86. And there's more Whitney Houston here with two of her compilations, The Ultimate Collection and Greatest Hits, sitting at #3 and #4 respectively, while her last studio album, I Look To You, re-enters the top 100 at #45.

Incubus Ascends

No surprise here, but let's point out the fact that just three weeks is what it took for Incubus' comeback single to top the songs chart! Adolescents is not only this band's 17th chart entry but it becomes their 4th chart-topper, following Dig, Oil And Water and Quicksand, all taken from their 2007 release Light Grenades. Black Heart Inertia was their last chart appearance, which debuted in May of 2009 and peaked at #11.

Foo Fighters is now down one spot but still strong with a bullet for Bridge Burning and Lykke Li's Silent My Song rounds the Top 3.

This week's Greatest Gainer belongs to The Script, a band that scored several hits from their self-titled album the last couple of years but has struggled a little with Science & Faith, their sophomore record. That's all about to change now that Dead Man Walking becomes their 5th Top 10 hit entering at #8 in it's second week; and there's more because Long Gone And Moved On is the Biggest Jump with a leap to #54 from last week's #92.

The Power Play track and Highest Debut of the week goes to the Beastie Boys and their single Make Some Noise, entering at #76 as their first track ever to chart. More new entries from Lupe Fiasco's unreleased version of Airplanes, originally made famous by B.o.B and also featuring Paramore's Hayley Williams, coming at #90; Gossip's Beth Ditto solo adventure pays off and now sees her chart debut with I Wrote The Book at #91; Placebo makes a surprise debut with a live version of Bright Lights at #98; Brandon Boyd's Revenge Of The Spectral Tiger comes in at #99 and The Black Eyed Peas earn their 23rd chart entry with The Best One Yet (The Boy) at #100.

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.

The 100th #1 Milestone

Me not posting anything about last week's chart was crazy, and even though tomorrow's Chart Post Day, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about this week's #1, because there's a lot going on with it: For a start, it ends Lykke Li's consecutive 6-week reign on the Songs Chart; it's the first chart-topper by an American band since Kings Of Leon's Radioactive from October of last year; it marks the band's return to the top, just a little over a year later, since Word Forward spent 3 weeks at #1; along with the aforementioned title and Best Of You, this one becomes their third #1 song so far; and last, but definitely not least, it becomes the 100th #1 in the history of this chart! What song am I talking about? Well, it's none other than Bridge Burning, the opening track from the Foo Fighters' latest studio release, Wasting Light.

One hundred number one songs is way more than I ever expected considering I started with a much more reduced Top 10 version of my favorite songs. That was about 6 and a half years ago. Who would've thought I'd be this consistent?! If you wanna go back in time, get some of that nostalgia and, why not, be shocked, here's a rundown of The TMJ Charts' history of Number One songs, in reverse chronological order:

Incubus Returns to Challenge Lykke Li

If you've been following the chart these past few weeks you surely noticed how Lykke Li has gotten all the attention, and she continues to do so this week with yet another #1 - #2 charting. First, it's the 3rd consecutive week at the top, and sixth overall, for her with Love Out Of Lust while Silent My Song goes to #2. Rounding up the Top 3 is Brandon Flowers who holds steady one spot lower with Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts, a song that still has got potential to become his first solo #1.

But it's hard to tell if Lykke Li will replace herself again at the top or if Brandon Flowers sneaks in for at least a week. The reason, that you should all know, is the triumphant return to the chart of another favorite band, Incubus, which scores the Highest Debut at #6 with Adolescents, their 17th chart entry and new single from their upcoming studio album. They last charted in 2009 with Black Heart Inertia, off their Monuments & Melodies compilation album. That song managed to peak at #11 in August of that year and spent a total of 35 weeks on the chart. With three chart-toppers (Dig, Oil And Water, and Quicksand) this one is most likely to follow.

Last week also marked the return of the Foo Fighters with Bridge Burning, becoming Greatest Gainer this week at #7, but it all consolidates now with eight Wasting Light tracks debuting from the #85 to #92 positions. Apart from the Foos, there's a couple of new, first entries: Bear Mountain with Swim at #65 and Olly Murs, with Heart On My Sleeve, as Power Play of the week, at #82.

Foo Fighters Live on 'SNL'

Last night's episode of Saturday Night Live had the incredible Foo Fighters singing live on stage. Dave & Co. performed two songs from their upcoming new album, Wasting Light, to be released next Tuesday.

Foo Fighters scored this week's Highest Debut on the Songs Chart with Bridge Burning (#39), their return since last year's #1 song, Word Forward.

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.

New Foo Fighters Teaser

I don't know about you, but I'm really excited for some new Foo Fighters. Their last studio album, the personal favorite Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, came out in 2007. Many songs from that album ended on my personal chart. And I'll be honest, I didn't really pay attention to them until Best Of You came out. That was some time in the year 2005. To this day, I consider myself to be a big fan of this band. I have charted 19 of their songs, two of which went to No. 1: the aforementioned Best Of You stayed on top for 4 weeks and their most recent Word Forward, from their Greatest Hits compilation, spent 3 weeks at the top. Word Forward also ended up at No. 40 on my 'Best of 2010 Songs List'.

Dave Grohl and company recently twitted that they were done recording the new album, which is still yet untitled, but they've put a 30-second teaser on their website of what should be the first single. Listen here for an energetic "these are my famous last words" from Grohl.

Year-End Top Songs 50 - 26

A little delayed today, but the third chapter of this year's Top 100 Songs of 2010 Countdown is ready! Lots of surprises here as we see many recent songs make it in the 50 - 26 range including P!nk's Raise Your Glass, Ke$ha's We R Who We R, Brandon Flowers' Only The Young and Kid Cudi's REVOFEV, to name a few. Another highlight? La Vida Bohème gets 4 spots out of these 25 (that's already 6 songs in the Top 100 and we're not even done!)

In case you've missed it... Here's songs 100 through 76 and 75 through 51.

Foo Fighters: "Let It Die" Billboard review

In the 13 years since Foo Fighters' self-titled debut, frontman Dave Grohl has quietly made the transition from celebrated drummer to arena rock heir apparent, taking part in collaborations with John Paul Jones, Brian May and rock'n'roll cheerleader Jack Black. With sixth album "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace," Grohl and his fellow Foos again demonstrate reliability as hitmakers. The disc has already produced two modern rock No. 1s: "The Pretender" and "Long Road to Ruin." Third single "Let It Die" is more visceral and frenzied than either, suggesting a band wary of complacency. The song alternates between muted acoustic guitars and an explosive wall of sound, and culminates in screams worthy of Grohl's punk past. The track, which also features Pat Smear on guitar, is one of few safe bets for programmers in the topsy-turvy world of rock.
