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.

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's Weekly Chart: Big re-entry by Kings Of Leon

It's week number 6 for Mariah Carey as she sits at the top once again with "Obsessed," matching the success she had last year when "Touch My Body" also spent six weeks at #1. It seems like "Obsessed" is on its way to become her longest stay at the top of the chart so far. But the competition is starting to catch up as Sharam moves up a spot with "She Came Along (Feat. Kid Cudi)," trading places with last week's runner-up "The One (Feat. Drake)" by Mary J. Blige which backs down to #3. Bigger news for Drake's solo single which is not only the biggest gainer of the week but also moves up four places to land inside the Top 10 with "Best I Ever Had," (#9).

Three new tracks, "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas and "The World We Live In" by The Killers, enter the Top 20. The third song to make it also stands out as the biggest news this week and is the hot shot re-entry of "Notion" by Kings Of Leon which lands directly at #19 after making a one-week appearance back in October of last year. This is the band's 10th top 20 hit on the chart and, even though I'm not keeping the stats, it's certainly one of the biggest song re-entries so far (that I can remember).

The highest debut goes to the mega-collaboration track "Run This Town" by Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna. New entries also for Jesse McCartney ("How Do You Sleep? (Feat. Ludacris)"), Metallica ("All Nightmare Long"), Depeche Mode ("Peace"), Snow Patrol ("The Planets Between Us") and Pearl Jam ("Brother"), all within the 90-100 range.

The biggest jump title is "Gimme Sympathy" by Metric, which after almost falling off the chart rebounds to #72. Big jumps also for Placebo ("Kitty Litter") and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs ("Heads Will Roll").

Two more songs fall into retirement this week: former #1 song "Swing Ya Rag (Feat. Swizz Beatz)" by T.I. and one of the longest-running songs on the chart "Heat" by Mariah Carey.

It's 90's throwback at the recurrent chart as Blackstreet shoots right up to the top with one of the biggest pop and R&B hits to-date: "No Diggity (Feat. Dr. Dre)," from the 1996 release Another Level.
