It's 3 weeks at #1 for the trio Lady Antebellum as "Just A Kiss" increases its lead this week. OneRepublic inch closer to the #2 spot with "Good Life." Could they end up with their first #1?

Nothing new in the top 10 this week, but Pink slides in her 51st week and it's looking like any of those bottom 3 can go anytime now. Fresh from her Grammy sweep, Adele moves 10-6 with "Set Fire to the Rain" giving her the leap of the week.

Fresh from his Grammy performance and making everyone under the age of 16 tweet "who?" Paul McCartney enters the top 20 with "My Valentine." Between his solo and Wings work, this is Paul's 22nd top 20 hit. His last top 20 was "Ever Present Past" peaking at #16 in September 2007. The song also ties the peak position of "Freedom" from January 2002 for second place for his biggest hits in the 2000's.

The only actual debut this week comes from Train. "Drive By" is the first single off their forthcoming album "California 37" which drops in April. "Drive By" is Train's 10th AC hit. Their last single "Save Me, San Francisco" peaked at #15 in October.

After a 1-week hiatus, Foster the People return at #30 thanks to Daryl Hall going recurrent.

Thanks, johnm. :)

On Mediabase's 7-day-rolling chart, "My Valentine" is up just seven spins from a week ago. The holiday has come and gone, so will it fall off next week? That, or maybe just drop to the bottom.

It could go either way. The last "Valentine" song to hit the AC chart was Martina McBride's "Valentine" and it peaked at #3 at the end of March.
