TMJ Charts: M83 Here To Stay

Another great week for M83 as it stays at the top spot of the Songs chart for a second week with Midnight City, and once again, as Greatest Gainer. The songs has now exceeded all expectations and has also helped the band get their first #1 on the Albums chart as Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. moves 2-1.

Midnight City (Live on Carson Daly)


Santigold's big hit Disparate Youth stays at #2 while WZRD's Love Hard stays at #3. Lana Del Rey gets her first Top 5 hit with Blue Jeans getting a new peak at #5 in its 23rd week on the chart, while Linkin Park moves up to #7 with Burn It Down. Coldplay and Maroon 5 return to the Top 10 as Princess Of China jumps 8 to #9 and Payphone moves one to #10. Their most recent Top 10 hits were Paradise (#2) and Moves Like Jagger (#6), respectively.

And there's more from Maroon 5 as they also get the Power Play and Highest Debut of the week with One More Night at #34. Other debuts include a chart-first for Garbage whose Blood For Poppies debuts at #35, a chart-return for P!nk with her latest pop anthem Blow Me (One Last Kiss) coming in at #47 and another chart entry for Lana Del Rey with Summertime Sadness debuting at #48. More new entries from Simple Plan, Muse, Linkin Park, Katy Perry and Chris Brown at the lower end of the chart.

The Recurrent Songs chart sees a new #1 song as Chris Brown and Benny Benassi take over with the chart favorite Beautiful People.

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 Breaks #1 Record!

I saw it coming and it's happened. A 7-year-old record has finally been broken and we all have Santigold to turn our heads to. 16 weeks at the top gives Disparate Youth the honor of being the longest stay at the top for any song since I started this little chart back in late 2004. The record was previously held by Mariah Carey whose We Belong Together spent a total of 15 weeks at the top back in 2005. A few years later - six, to be exact - that record was almost broken when Friendly Fires tied at 15 weeks at the top with Hawaiian Air. That was in late 2011, but now the record goes back to one and one woman only. Cheers to that!

Disparate Youth - Live at BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge


Now the thing is how long can she hold on to the top spot. Let's not forget that Disparate Youth had an incredible debut at #2, only to claim the #1 spot the week after. And the thing is that it's still ahead from its closest competitor by quite a decent amount of points. WZRD is getting ready though to claim their first chart-topper with either Love Hard (the week's Greatest Gainer) or Teleport 2 Me, Jamie which finds a new peak at #4. Alex Clare is also headlining the Top 10 with two tracks as Up All Night returns to #7 and Too Close goes single-digit for the first time at #9. And we say good-bye to Adele's Someone Like You as it leaves the Top 10 for the first time since December 23, 2011. The Biggest Jump and Power Play of the week goes to a well-deserved return to the charts to one favorite, Alanis Morissette, as Guardian jumps to #28. Her last chart appearance came in early 2009 when Not As We peaked at #63.

The Recurrent Chart sees Kings Of Leon returning to the #1 spot with Notion for a sixth week, while WZRD returns to the top of the albums chart with their self-titled record for a second week.

TMJ Charts: Santigold Steady at #1

Like there's anything else to say. This past week was the release of one of the most anticipated albums on my list and that means, of course, that Disparate Youth had nothing else to do than stay at the top of the Songs chart. This marks the song's ninth consecutive week at #1, and obviously, Santigold's best charting song to-date. She's about to embark on a serious rampage here on the charts because she also scores four out of the seven new chart entries this week, starting with Look At These Hoes at #76, followed by Pirate In The Water at #93, The Keepers at #94 and God From The Machine at #96.

Disparate Youth (Live at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon)


But the Highest Debut of the week belongs, yet again, to Alex Clare. I told you last week how I've been playing his album almost non-stop. After a few listens, that little gem titled Up All Night stands out, and is this week's Power Play making its debut at #30. But there's also Too Close entering at #97, a song that's making me give dubstep a more serious chance. The seventh song to debut this week is WZRD's High Off Life which enters at #92.

Gotye scores the week's biggest jump with I Feel Better moving up 52 spots to #38 while achieving a new peak after 15 weeks on the chart. The Greatest Gainer is Calvin Harris whose Feel So Close gets closer to the top as it jumps three to #5 this week.

The Recurrent Songs chart sees a new queen as the late Amy Winehouse dethrones Marina & The Diamonds with He Can Only Hold Her from her album Back To Black.

Speaking of albums, that chart gets some much needed action with Santigold's Master Of My Make-Believe debuting at #2, an almost clean and never-before-seen debut at #1 if it weren't for Friendly Fires' Pala which holds steady and scores an incredible 17th week at the top.

TMJ Charts: Queen Santigold + WZRD Takeover

Santigold sits comfortably at the top spot of the songs chart for a second week with Disparate Youth, the latest from her upcoming Master Of My Make-Believe album. The song is, once again, the greatest gainer track of the week with a +70 point-move from last week. At this pace, you should expect it to stay on top for many more weeks to come.

Disparate Youth (Live at the FADER FORT)

But things are looking very interesting with both Gotye and Adele making gains for Somebody That I Used To Know (#2) and Someone Like You (#3) respectively, while WZRD score their first top ten with Teleport 2 Me, Jamie rocketing all the way to #6 in its second week. We Are Young by fun. featuring Janelle Monáe moves up one to #7 and Lana Del Rey closes at #10 with Born To Die.

Much more chart action for WZRD scoring the biggest jump with Live & Learn making a leap from #73 all the way to #20, while Love Hard enters at #32 as power play and highest debut of the week. WZRD also score a new chart entry with The Dream Time Machine debuting at #92. Other debuts this week include Shock by Ana Tijoux (#43), Easy Way Out by Gotye (#77), Turn Up The Music by Chris Brown (#85), Glad You Came by The Wanted (#93), Sorry For Party Rocking by LMFAO (#94), Breathing by Jason Derülo (#96), Live My Life by Far East Movement and Justin Bieber (#97), Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen (#98) and Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair by Arctic Monkeys (#100).

And there's no stopping Adele on the other charts as she keeps dominating both Recurrent Songs and Albums for another week. Rolling In The Deep spends its tenth week at #1 while her album 21 scores a twelfth week at the top.

TMJ Charts: Santigold Conquers

After scoring one of the highest debuts ever on the charts, it's no surprise that Santigold reigns supreme as she moves 2-1 this week with Disparate Youth, the official first single of her upcoming sophomore album Master Of My Make-Believe. And her first #1 single on the Songs charts proves to be a force to be reckoned with considering Disparate Youth also gets greatest gainer honors this week on its move to the pole position. A recent proof of this is Somebody That I Used To Know, which after multiple and consecutive greatest gainer honors racked up a total seven weeks at #1. The Gotye and Kimbra duet is now down to #2 in its 14th week on the chart along with a triple-platinum status.



Elsewhere on the Top Ten things are mostly static, except for a jump to #8 by fun.'s We Are Young featuring Janelle Monáe and LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem returning to #9 in the song's 33rd week on the chart. Avicii also gets a high score with Levels moving up to #10.

The week's Highest Debut comes courtesy of WZRD's first single from their self-titled debut album. Teleport 2 Me, Jamie enters the Songs chart at #14. But this isn't the only WZRD track making it into the charts as Where Did You Sleep Last Night?, Dr. Pill and Live & Learn also debut at #70, #72 and #73 respectively. Other new entries include Arctic Monkeys with R U Mine? debuting at #71, Train's Drive By at #99 and Skrillex featuring Sirah at #100 with Bangarang.

WZRD Live On 'Conan'

Fresh off the release of their self-titled album, WZRD, consisting of rapper Kid Cudi and producer Dot Da Genius, perform one of the stand-out tracks and first single Teleport 2 Me, Jamie. WZRD scored a #3 debut on the latest edition of the Billboard 200 charts.
