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: 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.

TMJ Charts: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Move to #1

This was really a no-brainer. Chart newcomers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis may have gotten a good start with the growing worldwide hit Thrift Shop four weeks ago, but when their track Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton started off at lucky #7 a week later, the road to the top was paved and they're now crowned kings of the Songs chart for the first time, and with good chances of staying there for what's left of 2012. As for Thrift Shop, the song was just shy of breaking the Top 10, and jumps to #11 this time around.

Can't Hold Us (Live on KEXP)

A lot has been going on in the Top 10 as of late, and this week is no exception. M83 score the greatest gainer song with Steve McQueen moving up a notch to #2. A great follow-up to their former #1 song Midnight City, which by the way spends its 50th week on the chart at #4. Icona Pop is also closer to the top as Manners gains a new peak at #3, Lana Del Rey's Ride moves up two spots to #7 and Imagine Dragons finally jumps the border with It's Time moving up to #9.

This week brings another big debut as well. Rudimental score their second chart entry at #16 with Not Giving In featuring John Newman and Alex Clare. Their song Feel The Love, which also features John Newman on vocals, is up to #50 this week. There are four other debuts, all in the 90-100 range. First up is Aussie duo YesYou featuring Marcus Azon with their first chart entry, Frivolous Life, at #93. Chart veterans The Killers score their 60th entry on the Songs chart with Miss Atomic Bomb debuting at #97, also the third song from the Battle Born era to make the countdown. Lana Del Rey also scores another chart entry, this time with Gods & Monsters making its way to #99. She now has 7 active songs on the chart. And at the very end of the list sits Garbage with Control making its debut at #100.

WZRD scores the biggest jump and power play of the week with Teleport To Me, Jamie making a huge rebound to #45. Other big movers include AWOLNATION's Sail (#28), Willy Moon's Yeah Yeah (#32), Mumford & Sons' Babel (#39), The Script's Six Degrees Of Separation (#40), Lana Del Rey's American (#46), WALK THE MOON's Tightrope (#51), P!nk's Try (#55), The All-American Rejects' Heartbeat Slowing Down (#57), and Opus Orange's When I Look In Your Eyes featuring Chelsea Williams (#77).

The Recurrent Songs chart has The Naked And Famous' Young Blood locked at #1 for the 4th week in a row. On the Albums chart Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. by M83 scores its 7th non-consecutive week at the top.

TMJ Charts: Calvin Harris & Florence Welch at #1

Things keep looking good for Calvin Harris who sees his Florence Welch collaboration, Sweet Nothing, steady at #1 for a third consecutive week. The song is included in his newest album release 18 Months. It has become the sixth #1 song this year to spend 3 weeks or more at the top.

Sweet Nothing video

But with a few weeks left for 2012, another song is seriously making its way to the top and will, most likely, be the last chart-topper of the year. I'm talking about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton, which after a strong debut at #7 last week, jumps all the way to #2 as Greatest Gainer. Steve McQueen by M83 scores a new peak at #3; and so does Placebo, whose B3 goes up two notches to #4. Lana Del Rey scores her fifth top ten hit with Ride jumping six spots to #9.

The Biggest Jump goes to Mumford & Sons' Babel which is up 35 spots to #55. Honorable mentions as well for Sky Ferreira who is up to #39 with Everything Is Embarrassing, Linkin Park's Lost In The Echo which is up 28 spots to #54, The Script & will.i.am are up 24 to #69, and Lana Del Rey's American is up to #46.

We have six new entries this week, the first three being chart newbies. First off is AWOLNATION's Sail which scores the highest debut at #56, followed by Walk The Moon's Tightrope at #77, and Tuka's Die A Happy Man featuring Jane Tyrrell at #82. The other three debuts are all by returning female artists. First is Ellie Goulding who we last saw in mid 2011 with Lights. She's back now with Figure 8 at #86. Christina Aguilera sees a second song from her Lotus album debut as Empty Words enters at #87. And last but not least, Kelly Clarkson returns to the chart with Catch My Breath at #97.

The Recurrent Songs chart has Young Blood by The Naked And Famous at #1 for a third consecutive week, while M83 reconquers the top spot of the Album charts with Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. for a total of 6 weeks at #1.

'Ride (SOHN Remix)' by Lana Del Rey

This is definitely my favorite remix for this track so far. Simple, yet still capable of maintaining the melancholic essence of the original. Ride is one of the new tracks included in Lana Del Rey's recent re-release of her album Born To Die.

TMJ Charts: No Doubt Returns to #1

A great week for No Doubt who score their second #1 song from their new album Push And Shove. The title song inches up one spot to take the crown while Lana Del Rey's Radio falls to #3 after just one week on top. No Doubt is now the second act to score more than one #1 song on the chart during 2012 after Gotye. Their song Settle Down, went on to spend 5 weeks at the top and currently stands at #19.

Push And Shove music video

And speaking of Gotye, he's actually about to score a third chart-topper this year now that Save Me moves up to #2 in its 15th week on the chart. It's currently a strong contender and the only song gaining points inside the Top 10 besides Clique by Kanye West, Jay-Z and Big Sean which is up to #7 and Young The Giant's surprising move to #9 with God Made Man. Good moves as well for The Gaslight Anthem who see "45" leap to #15, Sloom by Of Monsters And Men which is up to #16, Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven is up to #24, Imagine Dragons jump big to #25 with It's Time and Metric's Youth Without Youth which jumps 55 to #32. But the Biggest move, as well as Greatest Gainer of the week, belongs to Nelly Furtado whose Spirit Indestructible is up 59 spots to #33.

The week's Highest Debut is also this week's Power Play track, and it goes to Rihanna, scoring her 16th chart entry as lead artist with Diamonds. The song debuts at #65. Kid Cudi also returns to the chart with Just What I Am featuring King Chip at #82, and so does Ke$ha who scores her 7th chart entry with Die Young debuting at #99.

The Recurrent Songs chart has a new song at the top and it's Swedish House Mafia's Miami 2 Ibiza making a big jump to #1 from last week's #40 position. And the Albums chart celebrates its 300th issue with a first for Lana Del Rey who finally reaches the top with Born To Die after 38 weeks on the chart, most of them inside the Top 5.

TMJ Charts: Lana Del Rey Gets Her #1

A very busy week on the charts as we have many debuts, chart returns and a new #1 on the Songs tally with Lana Del Rey finally reaching the top for the very first time since her chart debut with the song Radio. Having debuted at the #100 position in late April of this year and bouncing out after only one week, the song finally picked up a really good pace when it re-entered at #62 in mid-August. By early this month it was already inside the Top 10 and has now won the battle against Gotye's Eyes Wide Open, which is down to #3 this week.


And watch out for this week's #2 where we have No Doubt picking up as Greatest Gainer with Push And Shove jumping from 17 with only 3 weeks on the chart, and now most likely to follow the steps of their previous chart-topper Settle Down. There's also The Killers, who jump 4 to #4 with Flesh And Bone, a new Top 10 hit for Gotye as Save Me rockets from #27 to #6, P!nk reaches a new peak of 7 in the second round of Blow Me (One Last Kiss) for the top, and the return of Santigold with The Keepers at #10.

The week's biggest jump belongs to Kanye West, Jay-Z and Big Sean as Clique leaps 42 spots all the way to #14. And making up for last week's drought, there are plenty of new songs this time around starting with the Highest Debut at #72 where Bruno Mars returns to the chart with his new single Locked Out Of Heaven. His most recent chart entry was It Will Rain which peaked at #26 earlier this year. There's also Imagine Dragons making a double chart debut with It's Time at #74 and Radioactive at #100. Chris Brown crowns a new chart entry with Turn Up The Music at #81. Metric returns to the chart since 2009's Gimme Sympathy, this time with Youth Without Youth entering at #87, and so does Nelly Furtado whose last chart entry came in 2009 with Manos Al Aire, but now returns with Spirit Indestructible as Power Play of the week at #92. Lana Del Rey scores a new chart entry at #94 with Ride, and Christina Aguilera's Your Body at #98 is her first solo track in two years.

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane and Making Mirrors by Gotye repeat at #1 on the Recurrent Songs chart and Albums chart this week, respectively.

TMJ Charts: Gotye Still On Top

It's week number 3 for Gotye's Eyes Wide Open atop the Songs chart. And same luck for its parent album, Making Mirrors, which notches its 12th week at the top of the Albums chart. Following closely is Lana Del Rey with Radio which is up 4 this week to #2, her highest position on the chart so far along with Video Games. With Eyes Wide Open already losing steam, it seems Lana Del Rey could get her first #1 song by next week.

Or will Childish Gambino let that happen? This week his song Heartbeat jumps all the way to the Top 5 in its 4th week on the chart. Another contender could be The Killers now that Flesh And Bone jumps to #8, marking the band's 16th top ten hit so far on the Songs chart. No Doubt pushes to #17 with Push And Shove, and Gotye paves his way for another chart success as Save Me leaps 45-27.

It doesn't happen too often, but it happened this week as there are no debuts to talk about. There are only 4 re-entries at the very bottom of the chart starting with Flo Rida's I Cry, Young The Giant's Strings, The Lumineers' Ho Hey, and Nas' No Introduction.

The Recurrent Songs chart has Keane with the classic Somewhere Only We Know going all the way to #1 this week.

TMJ Charts: Gotye Stays at #1

This week brings us Gotye spending a second week at #1 with the song Eyes Wide Open, from his album Making Mirrors. With his previous hit Somebody That I Used To Know, he's the only artist this year to have scored two #1 songs on the Songs Chart, and he comes at second place as the artist with the most weeks at the top this year with 8, so far. Only Santigold has spent more at the top with record-breaking 19 weeks.

Eyes Wide Open (Live at David Letterman)

More on the Songs charts with Lana Del Rey scoring her fourth Top 10 hit so far with Radio jumping eight to #6. Her previous hits include Summertime Sadness (#5), Blue Jeans (#4), and Video Games (#2). Meanwhile, Santigold returns to the Top 5 with Disparate Youth and Gotye's second song in the Top 10, Giving Me A Chance, remains steady at #8. The week's Hot Shot and Highest Debut belongs to No Doubt whose Push And Shove featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer starts at #30. There's only a couple more debuts this week with Kanye West, Big Sean and Jay-Z's Clique entering at #75, and Power Play track of the week, Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin, entering at #97. The Highest Jump is Gotye's Save Me which leaps 44 spots this week to #45.

The Recurrent Songs chart has Friendly Fires spending a second week at the top with Jump In The Pool, while Making Mirrors by Gotye spends its 11th week at the top of the Albums chart.

Digital Charts: PSY & David Guetta at #1

A look at the most downloaded songs worldwide this past week has PSY repeating at #1 for a second week with Gangnam Style, the viral hit that has taken everyone by surprise. The song's score is actually slightly higher than last week, so that means it has potential for staying on top for a few more rounds. That's if Rihanna's Diamonds, which is this week's highest debut at #2, ends that streak. Other big debuts include Taylor Swift's Begin Again, which starts at #8 and Ke$ha's comeback single Die Young, which bows at #33. There's also Finally Found You (#36) by Enrique Iglesias featuring Sammy Adams, Ride (#79) by Lana Del Rey, and Live While You're Young (#90) by One Direction. Go to this chart...

The top downloaded Albums chart brings back David Guetta's Nothing But The Beat 2.0 at #1 for a second non-consecutive week, sending Battle Born by The Killers down to #2. Mumford & Sons' Babel official album release brings it at #3 as Greatest Gainer of the week. album title goes here by Deadmau5 scores a big jump to #14, up 67 from last week's position. New album entries include Hello. Love. Heartbreak. - EP (#63) by Tyler Ward, The Origin Of Love (#70) by MIKA, and Until Now (#96) by Swedish House Mafia. Go to this chart...
