“Use Somebody” holds at the top of the chart for a tenth week this week. It’s still in 2nd place for longest run at the top of the chart this year, trailing the Fray. Thanks in part to a change in the station panel, Colbie Caillat gets a surge and moves up to #2 with “Fallin’ for You”. However, she still is an underdog to reach the top spot. Although Kelly Clarkson holds at #4 with “Already Gone”, her bullet is almost 3 times the size of Colbie’s. If her bullet can stay the same, Kelly could reach #1 before December.
No songs move into the top 10 this week, and one song moves into the top 20, “Paparazzi” by Lady GaGa. The biggest mover of the week will be in the top 20 soon, “Halfway Gone” by Lifehouse. The song sees a spin increase of over 600 and leaps 8 notches to to #21 in its 2nd week on the chart. Relatively small differences in spins along with the panel change allow other songs to make big moves up the chart this week: “Haven’t Met You Yet” moves 34-27, “Sex on Fire” moves 35-28, and “Sweet Dreams” moves 37-31.
Less than 300 spins separate #40 from #30, and a little over 500 spins separate #30 from #21. Thus the potential for big moves still exists for any song that can get a strong bullet.
Moving in the opposite direction from the big movers is the Howie Day’s “Be There”. The song falls 6 spots to #33.
Debuting this week are the latest songs from Parachute, Black Eyed Peas, Eric Hutchinson, and Jason Derulo.
Idol Watch: Daughtry holds at #5, Kris Allen moves up 3 to #23, and Jordin falls 3 to #34.
