The Weekly TMJ Charts - March 1, 2014

It looks like Vance Joy will not be leaving the top of the charts any time soon as he collects a 4th week at #1 with Riptide. But nothing's written in stone as there's close competition with Left Alone by Flume and Chet Faker returning to its #2 peak after charting for 18 weeks and Cardiac Arrest by Bad Suns being the Greatest Gainer track of week with a jump from #19 to #7. Foster The People also enters the race to the top with Coming Of Age moving up 4 to #8.

The week's highlight in the Songs Chart is also the Highest New entry. Young The Giant makes a strong debut at #14 with Anagram, personally, the best song off their recent release Mind Over Matter. A second album track from the band, Firelight, also enters the chart at #84. Other debuts include Bridges by Broods at #82, Home By Now by Bombay Bicycle Club at #98, Blue Moon by Beck at #99, and Can You Do This by Aloe Blacc at #100.

Young The Giant - Anagram
The Highest Jump of the week belongs to London Grammar whose track Strong moves up 27 spots to #47, while the Power Play track of the week goes to Instant Crush by Daft Punk featuring Julian Casablancas, re-entering to a new peak at #58.

The Weekly TMJ Charts - February 22, 2014

Another week rolls by and it sees Vance Joy keep the top spot of the Songs chart for a third consecutive round with Riptide. Honestly, this is the kind of song that gets a 'meh!' on a first listen but then gets stuck in your head after the third or fourth. It's also really surprising because it's a style of music that I don't normally listen to, but for some reason it's there, and all that I can do is just hit the replay button time and time again. Just a feel good song I guess..

And what's with all the Aussies taking over the whole chart?! This week's Greatest Gainer is This Song Is Not About A Girl by Flume and Chet Faker, both of whom also take over the top spot of the Albums charts with the amazing collaborative Lockjaw EP. The song gains 75 chart points and makes a jump to #2. They also bounce back one spot to #3 with Left Alone after 17 weeks.

Good moves this week for chart newbies DARKSIDE with Paper Trails and Phantogram with Fall In Love who make their way to the top 10 at #6 and #8, respectively, after only 5 weeks. Foster The People's new single Coming Of Age starts warming up on the ears and jumps 20 to #12 - their third highest chart peak so far after Pumped Up Kicks (#2) and Call It What You Want (#11) from 2011. Bad Suns, which has become a guilty pleasure with their Cardiac Arrest, makes a big jump to #19 this week. But the biggest Jump belongs to Wild Cub with Thunder Clatter moving up 29 spots to #47.

Foster The People - Coming Of Age

Mr. Probz, another artist making its way into the chart for the first time, gets the Highest New Entry with the Robin Schulz Remix to Waves debuting at #34. Chart royalty Mariah Carey makes has a couple of debuts with her new single You're Mine (Eternal) (#96) and it's remix with Trey Songz (#49) - marking her 97th and 98th main chart entries so far! More new songs include Beck's Waking Light (#69), Cherub's Doses & Mimosas (#78), Magic Man's Paris (#80), MØ's Don't Wanna Dance (#81), The National's I Need My Girl (#91), U2's Invisible (#92), N.A.S.A. & Aynzli Jones' Hide (Tropkillaz Remix) (#93), Sam Smith's acoustic version of Disclosure's Latch (#94), and Diplo's Revolution (RUN DMT Remix) (#95).
