I have so far not heard James Blunt. I am sure I have a treat in store.

Young Jeezy "Trap Star" number 11 ringtone, peaked number 6! Holy fucking shit! "My Humps" still ringing at number 2; "Candy Shop" in top ten. Mancini at 15 and Lynyrd Skynyrd at 21. Ash not top 40 in the phones but big advertising push to give the gift of "L.O.V.E." on Valentine's Day, which is ironic given that in the lyrics girl friendship love trumps failure of girl-boy thing. That part won't make it to ringtone, however.

Also, not to get self-righteous or anything, but the Grammys don't seem to get it, do they?

I'm always mystified by the success of songs like Cascada's "Everytime We Touch." It's like there's a quota that a song with that generic pulsation has to have a radio presence every few months, so we get pointless stuff like that, the "Listen to Your Heart" and "Heaven" covers, and worst of all, that one about the girl who hits or hates the treadmill every day.
Kelly Clarkson scores her fifth Top 40 hit from Breakaway; I don't think anyone else but Usher's done that this decade, so accolades.
And YAY, Dolly Parton's back in the Top 40 for the first time since the ealy '80s. But alas, no new Grammy-related entries (though Madonna experiences a slight rebound with "Hung Up," perhaps aided by the exposure).

Cascada still don't make any sense in there, do they? Glee.
Pink debuts at #24. I can think of two or three songs that have debuted inside the 50 since I've been paying attention to it - that Gavin DeGraw thing, POD, and... possibly one of the High School Musical ones. They've all vamoosed rather rapidly - will this do any better? Does this kind of thing happen often?

I'd assume that the video for "Stupid Girls" is stoking the song's (and track's) downloads.

It happens a lot more now that the charts have been adjusgted to include digital songs. Other examples from the last year or so include Weezer's "Beverly Hills," The Foo Fighters' "Best of You," Coldplay's "Speed of Sound," The White Stripes' "Blue Orchid," and a few others--basically highly anticipated tracks by previously established artists. In the case of all but The White Stripes, the songs dipped slightly after their high debut and rebounded back afterwards.

Aly & AJ's "Rush" was played 74 times on the CHR Pop stations reporting to Mediabase; given that it was also played 71 times on Radio Disney (which is way more if you multiply it by each station in the chain), it's pretty much only the kids who are hearing it (and whoever is driving them to and from school).
Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" was played 371 times on the CHR Pop stations, 36 times on the rock stations. Probably also got some mainstream AC and Hot AC action, but I couldn't find my way into the long versions of those charts.
Blunt is getting a lot of his airplay on the AC stations, and is also number one for downloads. Beyoncé is clobbering him on "mainstream hit" radio plays: 10,145 to his 3,890.

By the way, is "Since U Been Gone" generally perceived as a rock song? To me, the sound is overwhelmingly and obviously rock, but I get the feeling that many listeners simply won't count it as rock, because it's too melodic and too pop and because it's Kelly. Did it get much play on the rock stations? It's getting absolutely none right now on the active rock and alternative rock stations. Compare to System of a Down's "B.Y.O.B." which has also been around for a while and over the last week got 344 plays on alternative and 281 on active rock, putting it in 63rd place on alternative and 38th on active rock. "B.Y.O.B." got 1 play total on a CHR Pop station last week, while "Since U Been Gone" got 901 plays, placing it 57th. (These are of the stations reporting to Mediabase, that is.)

Schoolboy error, really.
It does really suit her quite well, though.
