TMJ Charts: Santigold Is Not Giving Up Yet

There's no stopping Santigold on the charts as she extends her record-breaking #1 run to 17 consecutive weeks with Disparate Youth. At this point I'm just trying to figure out what other song will be able to stay on top for so long, so what we're talking about here is basically hall-of-fame status. I should move along and try to compile a list of historic events that have left a mark in the charts. In the meantime, it's a good thing we still have new live performances to post from Santigold.

Disparate Youth (Live at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend)


Going back to this week's charts, there's a serious threat of a new #1, probably very soon. WZRD stays at #2 with a bullet with Love Hard, while, out of nowhere, electronic band M83 shoots for the stars as Midnight City raises from the ashes and scores Greatest Gainer honors with a move to #4, this is after lingering up and down the charts for 25 weeks. Friendly Fires is not giving up yet and stays at #3 once again with Chimes, and Lana Del Rey returns for a second round at the Top 10 with Blue Jeans moving to #9.

Strong re-entries for Jay-Z and Kanye West who score Power Play of the week with Niggas In Paris, and Birdy's Without A Word goes all the way to #33. The Biggest Jump of the week is another song that's not ready to lose steam yet: Gym Class Heroes and Neon Hitch scale back to the top half of the chart at #48 with Ass Back Home.

On the Recurrent Charts we see Kings Of Leon once again at the top with Notion for a total of 7 weeks at #1, while Santigold recovers her spot at the throne with Master Of My Make-Believe for a total of five non-consecutive weeks at #1.

TMJ Charts: Santigold Wins the Race

So, who won the 8th week at the top race? Once again it's Santigold holding on to the #1 spot of the Songs chart with Disparate Youth, off her newest album release Master Of My Make-Believe. The song has now spent eight consecutive weeks at the top out of the nine its spent on the chart. Amazing, isn't it? That leaves Gotye and Kimbra waiting in line for a not-unlikely return to the top as Somebody That I Used To Know gets stuck at #2 for yet another week. Both songs see gains this week, but with Santigold as winner you get to enjoy my favorite Disparate Youth remix so far:

Disparate Youth (The 2 Bears Remix) by Santigold


And again, watch out for Friendly Fires as they're coming in with full force and get Greatest Gainers honors again this week as Chimes jumps up five to #3. If it eventually reaches the top, it'll become their third #1 single off Pala.

A new addiction and a new addition to the charts is Alex Clare, whose The Lateness Of The Hour album has got me on a loop for this past week. And he's coming with a bang, reaching the Hot Shot and Highest Debut as Humming Bird enters directly at #22. Expect other songs from Alex Clare's album to enter the charts in the coming weeks.

Other chart entries this week include Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull's Dance Again debuting at #92; Drake, Lil Wayne and Tyga debut at #95 with a remix to The Motto; and another chart first for Birdy, making her debut at #96 with the song Without A Word. Lana Del Rey's Off To The Races is the Biggest Jump at #39 this week, while David Guetta, Taio Cruz and Ludacris resurface at #80 as Power Play of the week with Little Bad Girl. Good moves as well for Justin Bieber's Boyfriend (lol!) with a new peak at #36, while Gym Class Heroes and Neon Hitch rebound to #43 with Ass Back Home.

Marina & The Diamonds stays at the #1 spot of the Recurrent Songs charts with Obsessions, while Friendly Fires' Pala returns to the top of the Albums chart for a total of sixteen weeks at #1.

Gotye Scores 5th Week at #1

It's week number five at the top of the Songs chart for the Gotye and Kimbra collaboration, Somebody That I Used To Know, and even though it's lost its bullet for the first time since it entered the chart eleven weeks ago, it still has potential to stay on top for several more as it's still ahead of Lana Del Rey, who settles for #2 once again with Video Games, by 200 points. Friendly Fires' former #1, Blue Cassette, rebounds to #3 in its seventeenth week on the chart.

More songs shake up the Top Ten this time starting with Bon Iver who score their first top 5 song as Towers moves up to #4 as Greatest Gainer track in its sixth week on the chart. Their biggest song so far had been Calgary which managed to peak at #24 by the end of last year. Another artist returning to the Top Ten is Santigold, who manages to get her new single Big Mouth to #6, which is also the peak of her previous chart entry Go! featuring Karen O. Santigold's biggest hit so far is 2008's I'm A Lady which peaked at #5. And Gym Class Heroes get their second Top Ten song from The Papercut Chronicles II with Ass Back Home featuring Neon Hitch moving to #7 this week. Their previous chart entry, Stereo Hearts featuring Adam Levine, peaked at #10 and sits currently at #32 in its 33rd week on the chart.

The chart's new entries this week includes more Gotye with Smoke And Mirrors getting the Highest Debut at #70, followed by Lana Del Rey's National Anthem at #84, Sean Paul's She Doesn't Mind at #85 and Vetiver's first chart entry with Can't You Tell at #98.

Gotye Hits #1

I didn't post a chart update last week so I should make up for it now. Not many chart newcomers have had the success that Gotye is most likely going to achieve with Somebody That I Used To Know. It had a rocky start, but last week it finally knocked Rihanna's We Found Love from the top spot with Greatest Gainer honors. Not surprisingly, and with eight weeks on the chart, the Gotye/Kimbra collaboration is once again Greatest Gainer track of the week, scoring now a massive lead. That means, +130 points more than the #2 song on the chart. So, unless something extraordinary happens or I stop hitting the replay button, expect it to stay on top for many more weeks to come.
