Nick's Notes:
1-10:
All things Paramore get a boost this week from playing the record shuffled in my car. I really wish something could take out "Afterlife" and threaten #1, but 3 & 4 still aren't there yet (and 3 may never be). And nothing else comes close right now. Honestly, I haven't listened to the remix of "Paper Planes" since the original became a hit. I just assume it's still better, though, and that whatever M.I.A. verse(s) omitted (if any) is inferior to whatever Bun B and/or Rich Boy contribute. It's almost weird that "Pocketful of Sunshine" is a Top 10 hit for me. Especially now. And unfortunate if last Sunday ends up being its final week in AT40. Because then what? I'm minus the good Hot AC station now, so chances of hearing it more will be diminished exponentially.

11-20:
I think "Hearts Burst Into Fire" got a radio spin this past week. So it only falls 1 spot. On the other hand, I didn't hear "Summer Love" on the radio this past week and it rises a spot, so you never know with these things.

21-30:
Similarly, I didn't hear "You Are the One" whatsoever and it goes back into the Top 20, whereas I watched the video for "Ricochet" and it actually (and surprisingly) falls a spot this week. Significant radio play with snowballing interest causes "Whatever You Like" to blast aboard my chart at #22. Did an album ranker for Bleeding Through's new record, so those songs rise, generally.

31-40:
"The Day That Never Comes" falls more than I was expecting. "Let It Happen" is already falling again because I didn't hear it on the radio this week. Listening to my recently acquired copy of Tha Carter III a bit, so those songs make my Top 40 after weeks (months?) of being absent from my contender list. That Mudvayne single probably would've taken off by now if it was ever going to.

Contenders:
"Womanizer" will likely hit the Top 40 as soon as I hear it more often. "Human" will probably hit the Top 40, but likely won't get far. "Live Your Life" I didn't hear this past week, but it may scrape the chart at some point. I think "Never Wanted to Dance" is done. "Dead Memories" appears due to new light radio play and starting to familiarize myself with the album simultaneously. Thanks for reading.

So obviously, the Anberlin show was this week, Tuesday to be exact. And since they didn't do "Breaking" or "Haight Street"...

• "The Resistance", which did get played, grabs an unexpected #1.
• "Feel Good Drag" follows it back up to #2 since they, of course, played it as well.
• "Haight Street" continues to have a sizable bullet, though, so expect it to be the 4th #1 hit off New Surrender next week.
• The reign of "Breaking" appears to be over at "just" 5 weeks with "Live Your Life" likely closing off any chance at a return engagement, but it hangs onto the bullet due to general increased Anberlin play (and anticipation that they'd play it at the show).
• "Disappear" was the set opener.
• But the clear beneficiary of this week is "Retrace". My original album review placed this song 9th out of 12, but late last week, something clicked and I started to love it. I listened to it 5 or 6 times in a row, and its 37-27* jump last week was almost solely on the strength of that day. And at the concert, they played it. My good friend and former roommate went with me -- the first time out of 3 that I haven't gone to see them alone -- and it seemed to be her favorite of what they played. It was just all-around a really great night, and whenever I hear "Retrace", I'll think of that night and the concert.

In non-Anberlin chart commentary: In my post in its thread, I should have said "Live Your Life" might be the next non-Anberlin #1. It's already the highest non-Anberlin song, in fact. "Homecoming" refuses to go away, while "Take Back the City" gets shunted all the way down to #10. Its #1 chances are shot.

The rest of the chart is uneventful by comparison. Rihanna should get her first main-artist top 10 with "Disturbia", but it still probably won't end up as my favorite track by her. ("Umbrella" was definitely top-5 caliber but it only peaked at #19 or something.) Britney Spears is in the top 20 for the first time since "Toxic", but it would take a minor miracle to approach "Toxic"'s #5 peak. Framing Hanley grabs the top debut with their "Lollipop" remake, while Anberlin's "Breathe" (another one of my friend's favorites) gives them their 34th (estimated) top 50 hit.

30 --- Santogold (vs. Switch and Fred Nasty) - "Creator" [14]
31 --- Thrice - "The Earth Isn't Humming" [21]
38 --- Jupiter One - "Countdown" [30]

I saw Weezer but that didn't necessarily boost their two main singles. "Greatest Man" was played and worthy of its inclusion. I also saw Thrice who performed both songs on the current chart.
"Stork & Owl" is a song that I've finally realized how much I enjoy now. Sure, the top songs are pretty dull and steady but the newer songs are what to look for, including Kaiser Chiefs and Kanye.
I finally listed peaks, but keep in mind this thing got re-started a few weeks ago. Some songs would otherwise have different peaks.
