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.

UK Charts: Adele Returns to #1 with 21

From NME.com:

Adele has reclaimed the Number One spot in the Official UK Albums Chart today (January 8) with her '21' LP.

The London-songstress has now spent 19 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the charts with the album, according to data from the Official Charts Company, making it the UK's longest-topping album in over 40 years.

Adele beat competition from Bruno Mars, whose 'Doo Wops And Hooligans' album held onto the Number Two spot, and last week's Number One album '+-' by Ed Sheeran, which dropped down to Number Three. Elsewhere, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Beyonce and Rihanna all had albums charting in the Top 10.

Meanwhile, Flo Rida nabbed the Number One spot in the Official UK Singles Chart with his track 'Good Feeling' coming out on top in the battle with last week's biggest-seller, Coldplay's 'Paradise'.

Taio Cruz went in at the Number Three position with 'Troublemaker', while Avicii's 'Levels' and Rizzle Kicks' 'Mama Do The Hump' claimed the Number Four and Five spots respectively. Olly Murs, Labrinth featuring Tinie Tempah and Jessie J were amongst the other acts to make up the rest of the Top Five.

Mas Friendly Fires... (+ Big Announcement!)

We may be ready to say goodbye to this year, but that doesn't mean there's a lot of change on the charts, or at least the top of the charts, that is. In the second to last chart issue of 2011, Friendly Fires still dominates both the Top Songs and Top Albums charts with Blue Cassette and Pala, respectively. Blue Cassette stays on top for a second week in a row, extending the group's consecutive stay at the top to 17 weeks while Pala, on the other hand, enjoys its fifteenth week at the top of the Albums chart.


Get more music by Friendly Fires

Some unexpected jumps include Fedde le Grand storming up to #3 as Greatest Gainer with So Much Love, while Benny Benassi and Gary Go return to #2 with Close To Me. Rihanna and Calvin Harris enter the Top Ten at #5 with We Found Love, Adele returns at #6 with Someone Like You and LMFAO recovers and closes at #10 with Party Rock Anthem. Lots of new entries this week including new songs by Pitbull, Taio Cruz, Avicii, Nickelback, Flo Rida, Lana Del Rey, Bruno Mars and... Justin Bieber!?

And with those names comes the big announcement! Starting this week, and with the help of the new digital charts I'm compiling, the worldwide top selling singles are incorporated to the formula for building my personal Songs chart. That basically means more mainstream songs in there than the ones I'd never - or would eventually - listen to. Creepy, I know, but the reason for this decision, after going back and forth for a while, is that with less available time in my hands I find myself listening to less music than what I'd actually like to. With that said, the chart gets a little more action while not completely affecting its outcome, after all, my tastes will still play a big part of each week's chart. Hopefully we won't get too much of Glee Cast, or the likes, in there lol. The merging of current and recurrent songs is also a big possibility in the near future, but I haven't made a decision about that... yet.

David Guetta, Taio Cruz & Ludacris › Little Bad Girl

Get Little Bad Girl | More music by David Guetta | More music by Taio Cruz | More music by Ludacris

'Little Bad Girl' by David Guetta feat. Taio Cruz & Ludacris

The newest song by David Guetta doesn't really bring anything new to the table in my opinion, but is by far more enjoyable than his previous two or three singles. I think I'm just over the fact that all his releases sound like Sexy Bitch from his album One Love, and that's from two years ago. Change it up a bit and give us another The World Is Mine, please. Little Bad Girl is the first official single from his upcoming album Nothing But The Beat, which comes out at the end of August.

Taio Cruz › Telling The World

Get Telling The World | More music by Taio Cruz

'Party Forever' by Mateo Amarei

Like me, you've probably never heard of Mateo Amarei. Well, he's one of the many independent artists that you can find through the social networks and he so happened to tweet today about one of his songs titled Party Forever, a very nice pop/dance song with a great hook. I'd say the style would be in the same vein as Jason Derülo or Taio Cruz. I'm not sure if the "party all the time" part was influenced by Sharam's Party All The Time, but it works. It's a catchy song so I say DOPE.

Jessie J Tops UK Songs Chart

If anything, I'm just glad she's gone to the top with this Price Tag song because I happen to like it a lot more than her previous single. By the way, I just realized today it sounds like the type of song Natasha Bedingfield would sing. Maybe that's what it is.

From NME.com:

Jessie J has scored her first UK Number One single tonight (February 6).

The Brits Critics' Choice Award and BBC Sound Of 2011 poll-winner hit the top spot with her second single 'Price Tag' after holding off competition from Bruno Mars' 'Grenade', which stayed at Number 2.

The Essex singer's debut single 'Do It Like A Dude' peaked at Number Two last month - and is still in the chart at Number 7 this week.

Other singles chart new entries included Enrique Iglesias at Number 5 with 'Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)' and Taio Cruz featuring Kylie Minogue and Travie McCoy at Number 8 with 'Higher'.

In the albums chart, Adele held onto the top spot for a second week with '21', while Chase & Status' second album 'No More Idols' went in at Number 2.

The Top Ten UK singles are:

1. Jessie J - 'Price Tag'
2. Bruno Mars - 'Grenade'
3. Ke$ha - 'We R Who We R'
4. Adele - 'Rolling In The Deep'
5. Enrique Iglesias feat. Ludacris - 'Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)'
6. Diddy Dirty Money - 'Coming Home'
7. Jessie J - 'Do It Like A Dude'

10. Cee Lo Green - 'The Lady Killer'

Kings Of Leon Stay On Top

Radioactive leads the chart for a second week, matching the success of Kings Of Leon's previous chart-toppers. The title also reaches Platinum status this week for surpassing the 1000-point mark. It was a very close race for the top now that B.o.B's Magic, which stays bulleted at No. 2, was only ten points behind Radioactive and Marina & The Diamonds makes a big jump to No. 3 as Greatest Gainer of the week with Shampain, her third Top 10 hit following I Am Not A Robot and Oh No!.
