Personal Charts: 12/25/06 - 12/31/06

[mtm4319]

There's no avoiding it -- "Plan B" will probably make it to #1 on either its 2nd or 3rd straight unbulleted week. And after I started a topic with the purpose of saying I wasn't overly impressed with the song, "Welcome to the Black Parade" has to be seen as a #1 dark horse. I still don't think it'll make it, but it could be by default.

28 months after "Pain" entered my top 100, Jimmy Eat World get their 4th top-10 hit from Futures with "Polaris". (Come to think of it... where's the new JEW album?!) By contrast, it took just 17 weeks for Evanescence to get 4 top-10s off The Open Door, but album tracks weren't allowed back in '04 when "Pain" and "Work" charted.

Daughtry looks like a shoo-in for the top 20, and could make the top 10. The same goes for Stone Sour's 2nd single, which wasn't one of the three tracks off Come What(ever) May that I caught onto (and later charted), but is still just fine as a single.

Remember what I said last week about tracks rarely debuting in the top 50? Well... throw everything out the window when it comes to Anberlin. The band that had 5 of my year-end top 20 in 2005 but considerably fewer in 2006 (don't think I'm giving you any clues as to this year's guessing game!) looks like it'll make another slew of chart appearances in '07, with a new album out in February.

01 01 AFI - Love Like Winter (4 wks at #1)

Falling Off:
-- 40 Jojo - Too Little Too Late
-- 35 Flyleaf - Fully Alive
-- 28 Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny

Not too much movement, mainly due to me trying to get back into the habit of doing this every week. The top 3 will likely get detonated next week, but AFI might still be too strong to knock out at this point. I'm sorry the D had to take such a tumble, but it was either that or force out the Goo Goo Dolls, which I wasn't ready to do yet, or exclude one of the debuts, most likely Lily Allen. But I've been hearing "Smile" for too long to continue to deny her from the chart, so there you go. Hopefully the top 100 of 2006 by the end of February, otherwise I'll probably just wing it. See ya in '07.
