On what chart?? I have the new Billboard in front of me, looking at the Hot 100 chart,and I don't see any of those songs. Not noticing them on the Hot Digitial Songs chart either; where are you looking?
Latin chart "My Humps" fell to 49, still no other English language tunes. Album chart Matisyahu's live album jumps from 44 to 32, and it's been out a year; is his *real* album, which comes out next month I think, going to enter at #1? That will be so weird. Also on album chart Morningwood drops 102 to 169 after heavily promoted on TV first week; is "Nth Degree" actually gettting airply anywhere? It's not on a single singles chart in Billboard so -- maybe not a hit after all?

Just a guess, though. In the meantime, this is one of the more interesting singles charts I've seen in a while, s'far as big movements; and I like it.

I don't pay attention to the British charts, but since when don't novelty songs make pop charts *more* fun? Seems to me like something to stive for!

But my guess is that not enough people are using iTunes to download whole albums -- which is why I speculated that this was sort of an anomalous case: a soundtrack that has gotten huge TV exposure among a young audience but lacks a specific single, so kids are downloading everything. They've already seen all of the songs performed on TV, anyway, so they know what they're getting when they download what might be considered a deep cut on any other pop album.

As I predicted, all the High School Musical songs take a big tumble this week.

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).

Gwen Stefani is SO CLOSE:

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.
