TMJ Charts: Walk The Moon at #1

Good going for WALK THE MOON this week as the band scores its 4th consecutive week at #1 with Tightrope on the Songs chart and a 2nd week at #1 on the Albums chart with their self-titled release. It is though the first week the song has decreased in points so we'll see now how much longer they can hold on to the top spot. For now, they move ahead as the longest running #1 song of the year.


Swedish House Mafia makes small steps towards the top with Don't You Worry Child featuring John Martin as it remains steady at #2. They also hold the #1 song on the Recurrent Songs chart once again this week with Miami 2 Ibiza. Another contender for top song is the group OneRepublic which scores the Greatest Gainer song of the week with the new single If I Lose Myself as it makes a leap to #4. Paul Banks gets a new peak with Young Again going to #9, while Ra Ra Riot makes a long awaited return to the Top 10 as Beta Love moves seven to #10. Deftones move ahead four spots to #14 with Tempest, YesYou go Top 20 as Frivolous Life jumps to #17, Madness by Muse leaps five to #21, and Alt-J goes to #29 with Breezeblocks. The Biggest Jump of the week belongs to Chet Faker's formidable cover of Blackstreet's No Diggity as it moves 44 spots to #42.

There are six debuts this week starting with Paramore's return to the chart via their new single Now at #67, followed by another chart return by Fall Out Boy with My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up) entering at #79. James Blake makes a chart debut with Retrograde at #80, Kimbra scores the #92 spot with the Mark Foster and A-Track assisted Warrior, Passenger's Let Her Go enters at #94, and A$AP Rocky gets his first chart entry with Fuckin' Problems at #96.

TMJ Charts: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Move to #1

This was really a no-brainer. Chart newcomers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis may have gotten a good start with the growing worldwide hit Thrift Shop four weeks ago, but when their track Can't Hold Us featuring Ray Dalton started off at lucky #7 a week later, the road to the top was paved and they're now crowned kings of the Songs chart for the first time, and with good chances of staying there for what's left of 2012. As for Thrift Shop, the song was just shy of breaking the Top 10, and jumps to #11 this time around.

Can't Hold Us (Live on KEXP)

A lot has been going on in the Top 10 as of late, and this week is no exception. M83 score the greatest gainer song with Steve McQueen moving up a notch to #2. A great follow-up to their former #1 song Midnight City, which by the way spends its 50th week on the chart at #4. Icona Pop is also closer to the top as Manners gains a new peak at #3, Lana Del Rey's Ride moves up two spots to #7 and Imagine Dragons finally jumps the border with It's Time moving up to #9.

This week brings another big debut as well. Rudimental score their second chart entry at #16 with Not Giving In featuring John Newman and Alex Clare. Their song Feel The Love, which also features John Newman on vocals, is up to #50 this week. There are four other debuts, all in the 90-100 range. First up is Aussie duo YesYou featuring Marcus Azon with their first chart entry, Frivolous Life, at #93. Chart veterans The Killers score their 60th entry on the Songs chart with Miss Atomic Bomb debuting at #97, also the third song from the Battle Born era to make the countdown. Lana Del Rey also scores another chart entry, this time with Gods & Monsters making its way to #99. She now has 7 active songs on the chart. And at the very end of the list sits Garbage with Control making its debut at #100.

WZRD scores the biggest jump and power play of the week with Teleport To Me, Jamie making a huge rebound to #45. Other big movers include AWOLNATION's Sail (#28), Willy Moon's Yeah Yeah (#32), Mumford & Sons' Babel (#39), The Script's Six Degrees Of Separation (#40), Lana Del Rey's American (#46), WALK THE MOON's Tightrope (#51), P!nk's Try (#55), The All-American Rejects' Heartbeat Slowing Down (#57), and Opus Orange's When I Look In Your Eyes featuring Chelsea Williams (#77).
