[mtm4319]

Time for some long-overdue chart commentary:

lw tw wk pp ARTIST - Title	Comment
01 01 10 01 ZAC BROWN BAND - Free	Yes, it's the first country song on my chart to ever hit #1.
02 02 15 01 ANBERLIN - Impossible	It's not their strongest leadoff but still hung on for 4 weeks.
05 03 09 03 PARAMORE - Careful	Their 5th straight top 6 hit, it could surprise and go all the way.
03 04 12 03 KATY PERRY - Teenage Dream	It slammed the brakes really quickly, but it's not freefalling.
06 05 10 05 JIMMY EAT WORLD - My Best Theory	Still a longshot for giving JEW a #1 for 4 straight albums.
04 06 16 01 EMINEM - Not Afraid	Already a top 10 rap song since '00, but behind "Lose Yourself".
07 07 24 01 FLORENCE & THE MACHINE - Dog Days Are Over	Resurged after a VMA performance. Several parallels to "Maps".
09 08 13 08 THE TEMPER TRAP - Fader	Approaching the "Sweet Disposition" peak of #6.
11 09 11 09 TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - I Can Talk	3rd top-10 hit this year that hasn't hit a Mediabase chart.
08 10 17 08 30 SECONDS TO MARS - Night of the Hunter	…and here was the 2nd. ("Hello Seattle" was the first.)
13 11 13 11 MUMFORD & SONS - Little Lion Man	I won't complain that this hit #1, but let's get Anberlin there now.
14 12 09 12 TRAIN - If It's Love	Now *this* is a feel-good Train song I can get behind.
15 13 13 13 NEON TREES - Animal	Nearing its peak. Helped in Sept by JetBlue in-flight ad plays.
17 14 08 14 CEE-LO GREEN - f*** You	I'm sad that this appears to be out of gas nationally.
10 15 12 10 EMINEM f/Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie	A month ago, Em had 3 of the top 11 (this, Not Afraid, Airplanes).
21 16 07 16 ARCADE FIRE - We Used to Wait	The Suburbs is the first Arcade Fire disc I've purchased.
20 17 09 17 PAPER TONGUES - Trinity	How did this peak lower than the annoying "Ride to California"?
22 18 04 18 ONE ESKIMO - Amazing	Took off like a rocket; should give the band a second top 10.
18 19 09 18 JAY-Z - On to the Next One	4th top-25 hit from The Blueprint 3. It took long enough.
12 20 21 07 AGAINST ME! - I Was a Teenage Anarchist	Their first top-10 hit, and impressive longevity to boot.
16 21 24 04 ONE ESKIMO - Kandi	Its first 6 weeks were spent at #48 and #49. Persistence paid off.
26 22 05 22 ARCADE FIRE - Ready to Start	Won't match their 4 best tracks, which all hit my decade 400.
27 23 12 23 METRIC - Eclipse (All Yours)	The vacuum effect helps their chances to eke out a 3rd top 20.
25 24 11 24 JOHN MAYER f/Taylor Swift - Half of My Heart	Chug chug chug… Chart run: 48-44-41-39-37-34-31-28-26-25-24.
19 25 21 05 PHOENIX - Lisztomania	Chart run will end very similar to "1901" but a bit lower at its peak.
23 26 09 23 CIVIL TWILIGHT - Letters From the Sky	Right up my alley on paper, but I just couldn't get fully behind it.
30 27 05 27 FAR EAST MOVEMENT f/Cataracs & Dev - Like a G6	Would've been much better for summer, but why not for fall?
31 28 13 28 MAYDAY PARADE - Kids In Love	Resilient! Chart run: 41-37-30-29-30-33-32-35-33-34-36-31-28.
32 29 04 29 ZAC BROWN BAND f/Alan Jackson - As She's Walking Away	Another first: a country artist charting 2 songs at once here.
35 30 04 30 RAY LAMONTAGNE & THE PARIAH DOGS - Beg Steal or Borrow	Yet another first: an alt-country artist charting at all, really.
24 31 22 09 DRAKE - Over	Its longevity can't be overstated, with 3 months in the top 20.
34 32 08 32 THE SCRIPT - I'm Yours	Lost its bullet this week, maybe falling short of "TMWCBM"'s peak.
41 33 04 33 THE XX - Crystalised	No huge movers this week, so this is the closest to a breakout.
37 34 05 34 LINKIN PARK - The Catalyst	Chart gets a little weak around here. I caught on too late.
38 35 06 35 BRUNO MARS - Just the Way You Are	To be clear, I'm disappointed by this effort, but it's decent.
28 36 26 01 B.O.B f/Hayley Williams & Eminem - Airplanes, Pt. II	Heading toward a top-5 year-end finish, at least.
29 37 11 14 B.O.B f/Rivers Cuomo - Magic	This did just about as much here as it did nationally.
39 38 10 36 WEEZER - Memories	Showing flickering signs of life, but this came out too quickly.
40 39 05 39 30 SECONDS TO MARS - Closer to the Edge	In danger of their poorest chart showing, competing w/"NOTH".
49 40 02 40 LINKIN PARK - Waiting for the End	This is the LP song to watch. Top 20 a very good bet.
de 41 01 41 MY DARKEST DAYS f/Zakk Wylde & Ludacris - Porn Star Dancing	Don't shoot me. No, seriously, don't.
44 42 03 42 JIMMY EAT WORLD - Evidence	JEW album track serves as a reminder to finish listening to the CD.
33 43 16 08 ENRIQUE IGLESIAS f/Pitbull - I Like It	The unlikeliest top-10 hit of the year if ZBB doesn't qualify.
36 44 13 24 STONE SOUR - Say You'll Haunt Me	Great compromise between "30/30-150" & "Through Glass", but…
48 45 02 45 NEON TREES - 1983	Doing its part to keep "Animal" out of my top 10.
45 46 03 45 ONE ESKIMO - Balloons	I streamed this album on a whim one day and this track stuck out.
de 47 01 47 NELLY - Just a Dream	Anyone with Nelly in their "Improbable Comeback" pool, congrats.
47 48 09 43 KE$HA - Take It Off	Not hanging around much longer, but she's 4 for 4 in top 50 hits.
50 49 02 49 KINGS OF LEON - Radioactive	See the comment on Bruno Mars, but I was hoping for even more.
de 50 01 50 DISTURBED - Another Way to Die	Edged Sick Puppies "Maybe" & 3OH!3 "Double Vision" for #50.
42 -- 19 18 BROKEN BELLS - The High Road
43 -- 07 33 MAROON 5 - Misery
46 -- 08 32 BRANDON FLOWERS - Crossfire

Nick's Notes:
"Intervention" reappears in 2010 because I had Neon Bible on the iPod for a couple weeks during work. Same thing with "On the Arrow," "Pony," and even "End Transmission." "Angel" on the iPod was the Dillinger Escape Plan version, but The Girl loves Massive Attack (Mezzanine is one of her favorite albums and was actually one of her first), so I was hearing their version just as much, if not more.
