Hawaiian Air: It's Not Over Yet

Only three other songs have managed to stay on top of the Songs Chart for ten straight weeks or more since I started building the countdown, but now Friendly Fires gets the honor to be the first band to achieve the milestone. It was hard to tell in the beginning if Hawaiian Air had the strength to go as far as spending this many weeks on the chart but it's now proven to be one of the strongest titles in years. And it just goes on, now that this week the song gets the highest point-rank of its chart run. Maybe going for the 15-week record? It doesn't seem impossible at this point, but let's just hope we don't run out of high quality Youtube clips!

Lucky 7 For Friendly Fires

They did it! The fellas from Friendly Fires score their seventh consecutive week at #1 on the Top Songs Chart with that Hawaiian Air number, a song that upon it's debut, 14 weeks ago, didn't seem to have the staying power it's achieved until now. So this means they've taken one step ahead and grabbed the longest-running #1 song of 2011 on the chart so far. And the song keeps growing every week, so there's still time for them to extend their stay at the top, although that's still not guaranteed with Florence + The Machine getting closer and closer to a chart-topper first with the haunting Shake It Out, repeating at #2 in its third week. It won't be till next week's charts that we found out who wins the battle.

Kasabian › Days Are Forgotten

This is the latest single from Kasabian and it might just be my favorite from them so far! Somehow as soon as the songs starts I imagine that it belongs in a movie, probably a late 70's action film or a Tarantino production. Days Are Forgotten is included in their recently released fourth studio album Velociraptor! which just this week became their third consecutive #1 album in the UK charts. I can't say it'll debut at the top of these charts as well, but look out for a debut as soon as next week's issue.
