Katy Perry hangs onto the top spot for a third week in a row with "Firework". Though there are several songs capable of dethroning her next week, don't be surprised to see her hang on to the top for at least a couple of more weeks.
Interestingly, just by coincidence, the entire top 5 has a bit of a Valentine's Day vibe to it, with all songs dealing with relationships and/or romance, which is pretty cool. :)
For the second week in a row, the hottest tune on the chart goes to pink with "Perfect", up another 9 spots from #20 to #11. Avril Lavigne is a close second up 8 spots from #33 to #25 with her latest hit, "What The Hell". Once again this week, there are no real big droppers, but three new songs enter the chart, including the second Hot AC hit for My Chemical Romance with "Sing".
Once again Rick continues to include Bonus Tracks marking number one songs from the past three years. Hence, the repeat airings of songs like "Bubbly" and "Gotta Be Somebody" for the third week in a row! We'll see how long people start tiring of this new feature. Unlike the previous two weeks, Rick only played a snippet of last week's number one song, similar to the early days of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem where he would alternate between playing the previous week's top songs or just snippets of them. Seems like playing the same songs more than once in a week is the new "trend" this year!
Finally, we have a great Sure Shot by Sara Bareilles with her latest hit "Uncharted". This seems like a pretty solid bet that this will become another big hit for her within the next couple of months.
