Katy Perry’s “Firework” holds at the top of the chart for a second week, but it continues to lose triple digit spins. The next song with a spin increase is Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts” at #5. That song is nearly a thousand spins behind #1, so it looks like Katy will hang on top for a while. Pink’s former #1, “Raise Your Glass”, has more audience impressions than Katy though. Pink is getting closer to having 2 songs in the top 5. “Glass” holds at #2, while “Perfect” climbs 2 to #8.
No songs enter or exit the top 10 this week. The only song to enter the top 20 this week is the song that makes a big move up the chart: “Born This Way” by Lady GaGa. That song vaults up 13 notches to #17 in its second week on the chart. The song has a spin increase of over 1000 spins! It’s still shy of the record spin increase though, which is held by “The Game of Love” by Santana f/ Michelle Branch. Their song had a bullet of over 1100 spins. Lady GaGa has some tough competition in the top 15, so don’t look for a giant move next week. On the Pop chart, “Born This Way” reaches #6 in its 2nd week on that chart. The song debuts on the Hot 100 chart at #1.
There are a lot of songs this week that move down the chart despite having spin increases (backward bullets). There are 8 songs that do this, and some move down more than a couple of notches. Here are a sampling of them: “Marry Me” (5-6), “What the Hell” (16-18), “Little Lion Man” (17-20), and “Stuck Like Glue” (24-27).
The only song to enter the top 30 is Colbie Caillat’s “I Do”, up 3 to #29.
Debuting this week are: “Something to Believe in” – Parachute, “1901″ – Phoenix, “Yeah 3x” – Chris Brown, and “Hesitate” by Stone Sour. Stone Sour return after about 4 years away from the chart.
