So I'm scanning your chart and everything's all fine and good with no huge surprises. Then I see that "Rocketeer," of all songs, is not only on your chart, but it's way up at #2, long after its national lifespan has ended. And then "Not in Love" is having a #1 run longer than most of Avenged Sevenfold's biggest singles top my chart. Wow.

Gonna need some explanation for these. (I haven't heard the 3DD song, but they're so done that even I don't seek out their songs anymore.)

"Kill" is one of many JEW songs that I love now more than ever, due to revisiting their "important" catalog for a couple weeks leading up to their show at the end of May. This also explains "23" and why "My Best Theory" was still up at #16 last week, when it otherwise would've left my chart a couple months ago. The fact that "Kill" rebounded this week is because it's one of a few songs of theirs I still have on my iPod because I'm not tired of it yet. It came up on shuffle the morning I made this chart and there's hardly been any competition on my chart this year. ("Whirring"'s 25-11 jump isn't as impressive as it seems, by the same token.)

"Every Time You Go" was a little surprising to me too. It's nothing amazing, but I happened to hear it on the radio on my "secondary Alt" station I used to refer to that I can't get in town. I was driving across the state last weekend and caught it. Unlikely to have staying power.

Meanwhile, your chart:

"Punching in a Dream" was/is a free download on Amazon. I really like that one, but haven't heard it enough to make my chart quite yet. It likely will in the next week or two.

I really dug "Black and Yellow," but "Roll Up" was always too calculatedly commercial for me to swallow. Kinda like when Lil' Flip followed up "Game Over" with "Sunshine," off the top of my head. "On My Level" with Too $hort, however, I really like. It actually made my "contender" list last week.

Why did "Take Me Out" hit your chart so late?

Glad it's "Fast Lane" on your chart and not the nauseating, radio-pandering "Lighters."

What's your excuse for charting "Who Dat Girl" (esp. this late) and "Coming Back Down"?

I didn't seek out "Sad Song," but have caught it a couple times on my "secondary Alt" station. Made me wish I hadn't been sleeping on it. Still, though, I haven't heard it enough to dent my chart. Maybe I oughta fix that.

Good call on "Did It On'em," probably the best of all the 7 or so singles released from Pink Friday to date.

[mtm4319]

"Kill" is most certainly a kick-ass song. (#231 of the last decade for me.)

That one's got a video already - I think it was a single in New Zealand, but the US hasn't gotten around to it yet (if they're in fact releasing it over here). I'm surprised that "Young Blood" has some life left in it, then again maybe I shouldn't be considering the average longevity of the Alternative chart the past year or two.

It never caught on with me that much until I saw this video, of them purportedly playing the song live on a subway using iPhone instruments.

I sometimes tend to group songs together in my head, whether I heard them around the same time, and/or they were both on the same chart around the same time. That happened for me with this and "My Body" by Young the Giant. Looking back, they were rising on Alt nearly in tandem until "TMO" petered out at #17 at the end of January (wow, that was a while back) and was gone 6 weeks later. (Meanwhile, "My Body" somehow lasted until June.) I never liked "MB" that much, and I guess by subconscious proxy I didn't give "TMO" a fair enough shake. But I kept them both on my Grooveshark playlist that I refresh every couple months, and by April "TMO" had carved out enough of a foothold in my head that I started to intentionally play the song more.

I'll chalk this one up to the iGoogle widget on my home page at work that gives me the top 9 iTunes songs every day. This one made it fairly quickly (albeit not for long), and the unfamiliar artist name led me to seek it out. Otherwise, I might just now be taking a listen to "Lighters" (indeed, sub-par) and may have passed over "Fast Lane" entirely. It's got a pretty entertaining video, too.

I have no idea on Flo Rida. All through its Pop run, I considered it "standard mediocre second Flo Rida single". Then... something. I can see myself dancing to it. I dunno. And "Coming Back Down" is your "Hear Me Now".

My favorite part of the song is the guy losing his shit in the chorus over Nicki's raps.

"That was an earthquake, bitch! You got the ground shaking! You bitches ain't fuckin' with her!"

You'd think she was 2pac or Biggie or something.
