CHART HIGHLIGHT:

The odd one out of last week's 3-songs-for-2-spots fight is the one that exploded out of the gate and seemed sure to supplant Rob Thomas at #1: "The Ignorance". 311 held up just fine and still appear to be on track to get a second top-5 hit from Uplifter, while Third Eye Blind kept just enough steam to deny Paramore a top-10 spot for one more week.

But none of these look to be the next #1. "Spotlight" didn't just hold strong after last week's listening party; it even accelerated this week. Whether it holds a bullet next week or not, it looks likely to mark its 3rd different stint at #1 and 7th week overall.

And speaking of Mute Math, "The Nerve" might have turned the corner. Their +9 is good for the second biggest gain this week, and now has the look and feel of a top-5 hit. (Was there ever really any doubt?)

Tough break for Disturbed, who narrowly miss tying the record for biggest fall from a top-10 peak position. Like Mandy Moore's "Crush" before it, "The Night" falls to #20, but "Crush" did it from its #8 peak.

The top-50 threshold is increased again by 3 points, and I have to believe we're approaching a record for chart strength at the #50 entry position. Some of these songs have to fall soon, though. My guess is the Cage the Elephant group will start to show weakness first. I'm really glad I started assigning points, though; we could find ourselves in 3 months with 25 points being enough for a top-30 spot, and I'll be able to say "Well, look; 'Bury Me Alive' couldn't even get into the top 50 the first week of August and it could have made the top 30 now." I do need to throw some newer tunes into the mix, though; there were a grand total of 0 debuts this week.

Finally, an interesting tidbit that applies to last week that I didn't notice until now: the only 4 songs out of the top 100 ever to hit #1 were sitting at #1 ("Her Diamonds"), #2 ("Breaking"), #3 ("Spotlight"), and #4 ("Panic Switch"). I can't say this week because "Panic Switch" fell to #7 and "Zero" re-entered.

Nick's Notes:
1-10:
"Poker Face" rebounds and "Kids" storms the Top 10 thanks to hearing both loud on good speakers at the bar last week.

11-20:
Obviously, "Lost!" and the 3 other Coldplay songs further down the chart are affected by seeing them live last week.

21-30:
I totally called the meteoric rise of "Help, I'm Alive" in last week's notes. "Magnificent" rebounds because Coldplay used it as one of 3 or 4 pre-show warm-up songs on the PA. "Afterlife" sits tight after hearing it again on the radio. HD Radio airplay also explains "Up to No Good" doing an about face and crashing the chart higher than its original peak as an album cut. It's weird that the biggest jumper on the chart is a 7 year-old CKY song.

31-40:
Eminem's album has had no staying power. Not with America, nor with me, but I'm not fickle, my attention is just divided too many ways. "Crushcrushcrush" takes the fall I would've expected last week.

Contenders:
"Starting Over" needs help in, dare I say it, getting restarted. Airplay for "This Is It" and "All Nightmare Long" has totally dried up. Unexpectedly hearing part of "Already Gone" on the Hot AC station (I had no idea what Kelly's next single was going to be, but that song's my favorite on the album and already placed on the list earlier this year) causes it to quickly emerge again. I already like "It's Alright" more than "Hey You." The proof is right here. Thanks for reading.
