Lupe Fiasco & Trey Songz › Out Of My Head

The newest single from Lupe Fiasco's Lasers is probably one of the most mainstream songs included on his album. The song features R&B singer Trey Songz on the hook. This is the third single from the rapper's most recent album release following The Show Goes On and Words I Never Said, the latter featuring singer Skylar Grey.

Lykke Li Owns Top 2

It comes to no surprise that Lykke Li is getting ready to make a big presence in the chart now that she tops the Number 1 and Number 2 positions this week. First, with no signs of slowing down, she scores a second week at the top with I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix), but she's her own competition now that the album track Love Out Of Lust jumps, yet again as Greatest Gainer, to the #2 position in only its third week. And more Lykke Li floods the chart now that Silent My Song and Sadness Is A Blessing debut at #53 and #79 respectively. This of course has propelled Wounded Rhymes to the top of the Albums chart.

And Britney Spears also sets a high note now that her second single Till The World Ends becomes her highest ranking song so far on the chart. The title makes an incredible jump to #11 in its second week. Only her song 3 had charted higher, peaking at #18 back in 2009. But the Highest Jump belongs to The Decemberists and their song This Is Why We Fight, which storms sixty spots to #14 this week.

The Highest Debut belongs to Ke$ha this week and her track The Harold Song which makes a big impression to land at #33. This is her sixth song to chart so far. One spot higher at #34 is Power Play of the week and new entry by Brandon Flowers with his third official single Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts, which adds more momentum to his Flamingo album.

More debuts include I Need A Doctor by Dr. Dre featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey at #70, Lupe Fiasco's All Black Everything at #80 and Snoop Dogg's return to the chart with Wet at #94.

White Lies Takes The Top Spot

A new song reigns this week's chart and it's the band White Lies making a quick landing to the #1 spot with Bigger Than Us. It comes to no surprise because they did have a big debut at #17 just four weeks ago, though it's good to note that this is the first song by the band to chart, so it's quite the good accomplishment. This is also the first song by a band to go all the way since Kings Of Leon made it to the top with Radioactive in late October of last year.

But White Lies gets more than the #1 spot as several songs from their Ritual album also debut this week including Turn The Bells, Peace & Quiet, Strangers, Bad Love and Holy Ghost occupying the #95 through #99 spots.

Another artist to pay attention to is, of course, Lykke Li. If you've been following the blog you would know by now that I'm currently kind of obsessed with her. This week not only her I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix) is a close call by jumping to the #2 spot, repeating as Greatest Gainer, but the release of her Wounded Rhymes album makes several of her songs Hot Shot Debuts including the Highest Debut, Love Out Of Lust (#30), Youth Knows No Pain (#90), Jerome (#92), Unrequited Love (#93) and the original I Follow Rivers (#94).

Also making a big debut is the Chris Brown and Benny Benassi collaboration, Beautiful People, which lands at #34 as Power Play of the week; We Are Tokyo also make their chart debut with The Best In Me (Ninetynine's Nightmare Remix) entering at #55; Neon Trees makes it times three with 1983 leading at #59, Our War at #69 and Love And Affection at #82; also new to the chart is The Radio Dept. who debut at #91 with Never Follow Suit and finally Katy Perry scores a second E.T. remix on the chart as the Tiësto take on her new single enters at #100. The E.T. (Benny Benassi Remix) is so far having the better luck jumping to #26 in it's second week.

The Biggest Jump belongs to the second single by rapper Lupe Fiasco featuring Skylar Grey, Words I Never Said going up 34 spots to land at #12 this week. Expect it to get a boost by next week which coincides with the long-awaited release of his third studio album, Lasers.

3 Weeks Of Obsessions

Not a lot of change for the whole Top 5 as Marina & The Diamonds scores a third week at the top with Obsessions and only Kanye West's All Of The Lights and T.I.'s Poppin Bottles swap the #2 and #3 spots. White Lies score big with Bigger Than Us as the song jumps to #7 in only its second week and Lykke Li is about to become Top 10 royalty with I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix) going to #11 as Greatest Gainer of the week.

The Highest Debut belongs to Nicki Minaj and Eminem with Roman's Revenge entering at #65. Another Minaj collaboration, Moment 4 Life, this time with Drake, enters at #97. More new songs include The Black Eyed Peas' Just Can't Get Enough at #71 as Power Play of the week and Lupe Fiasco & Skylar Grey debut at #79 with Words I Never Said.

This week's Biggest Jump belongs to Jessie J and B.o.B's Price Tag, which rockets 59 spots to #30 in it's second week.

'Words I Never Said' by Lupe Fiasco & Skylar Grey

Take a listen to Lupe Fiasco's second single from his Lasers album (take a peek at the cover art to the right.) Words I Never Said is the title and features a name we've seen a lot lately, Skylar Grey. Although it didn't strike me as an instant hit like The Show Goes On did, I do like the edgy sounds but not so much its political content.
