In what seems to be at least a once a year occurance on Rick's chart, we have a song that plummets off the countdown right out of the top 10! This unfortunate distinction goes to the former number one hit by Nickelback, "This Afternoon". I'm not sure whether this reflects accurate chart data or Rick's dartboard working overtime this week, but I guess this would be his way of removing a song to recurrent status!
Otherwise we have a stagnant chart within the top 10 as the top eight songs hold steady from last week, with "If It's Love" by Train holding at the number one spot for a third week in a row. Train also bookends the chart with their previous number one hit "Hey, Soul Sister" inching down to #40, just one week short of hitting the one year mark on the chart. This is still ten weeks short of the record 61 weeks held by "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.
There are some big movers this week by Katy Perry, OneRepublic, Adam Lambert (in both directions) and Enrique Iglesias with Pitbull. However, the biggest jumper of the week goes to newcomer Mike Posner with his current top 3 pop smash "Cooler Than Me", up from #19 to #11.
Finally, we have three debuts for the third week in a row, with new songs by Taylor Swift, Five For Fighting and Michael Franti & Spearhead. Also Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove has this week's Sure Shot with "Kissin' You" (why does this song sound an awful lot like Taylor Swift's "Teardrops On My Guitar" to me, albeit with more positive lyrics?). We'll see if this song charts next week as it had a relatively low peak on Mediabase recently. More likely though, we will see "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars debut or at least achieve Sure Shot status next week.
