Nick's Notes:
I can't believe that "Stricken" and "Not Now" aren't even done yet. I just keep on hearing 'em. There's a chance that one or the other could slip into #4 at some point at this rate, however the Top 3 is pretty solid and will be for some time, regardless of order.

I imagine all things Bleeding Through will do swift business on next week's chart, as I am seeing them again on Tuesday. "Save Me" rebounds with a little fire. "Helena"-'s slip is slighter than the physical numbers indicate, and it's the first time the song has been out of the Top 20 in over a year. "Get Together" should rebound next week, seeing as I listened to the album again earlier today.

I didn't hear "Cash Machine" last week, so it increases one measly spot. "Jesus of Suburbia" is freefalling. And it's one thing for an old song to debut that was previously unfamiliar, as was the case with Pink Floyd doing well on my chart with Dark Side of the Moon songs 4 years ago. Yet, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed that I've been familiar with and really liked Metallica's "King Nothing" ever since it was a single, and yet it's only a Top 40 hit now, nine years later.

Anyway, so much for "Touch It" and "Be Without You" already. Ouch. But that just means that other urban songs need to step up and right now, none have. PATD would do better if I heard them regularly. I have a feeling that "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance is going to be a smash on my chart, once I start hearing it more. Thanks for reading.

01 01 (21) The White Stripes - "The Denial Twist" (3 weeks @ #1)

The dinosaurs of the chart are descending a little faster. I say it's more accurate because it's been longer since I've heard most of those anyway. Besdies, that Unicorns song is approaching three years in age now.
Speaking of that, I never would've known three years ago that a Fall Out Boy song would end up in my top ten. Not that it'll be there that long, with what else is gaining in the next range of ten songs. Matisyahu has probably peaked.
The new DM and Madonna singles do a lot of damage this week and will probably continue the direction that they're going.
Part of how LCD and Sleater-Kinney slowed down was actually hearing their songs on the radio. Besides, "Tribulations" was one track that actually did live up to the hype.
Prince would've actually entered last week had it not been for those older songs I tried giving more justice to for the past few weeks. All for now...

[a Nick O!]

Funny you mention "Black Sweat" debuting this week, because I could've sworn I saw it debut on your chart a week or two ago.

[halo19]

I thought so too, that might have been like three weeks ago if so. Because I looked at docs. of the past two and it wasn't there & decided maybe my thinking was wrong.

[Pipa]

Plus, you have Feel Good Inc. twice.
