THO 100 Update for the week ending June 13, 2009

2009-06-17T21:30:00.004-04:00

Just when you thought she might go away... back comes Lady GaGa with another hit. This week on the THO 100, her new single "Paparazzi" is the largest mover on the chart and has the largest point gain. Meanwhile, "Poker Face" still sits at #2 and "LoveGame" inches up from #15 to #12. Last week "Just Dance" exited the chart after a 49-week run. The Black Eyed Peas still hold the top spot, and there doesn't appear to be any competition in the next few weeks for them. The highest debut belongs to Linkin Park with "New Divide," a song taken from the upcoming "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" soundtrack.

THO 100 Update for the week ending June 6, 2009

2009-06-11T20:35:00.002-04:00

It's not everyday that a female-led rock band reaches the upper regions of the THO 100. But this week the Yeah Yeah Yeahs break into the top 10 with their hit "Zero." It is actually their fourth THO hit, following "Maps" (2004), "Gold Lion" (2006) and "Turn Into" (2006). "Gold Lion" was their previous highest-charting song, reaching #15. Female solo artists usually reach much higher levels of overall popularity, and this weeks' chart is a shining example of that. Seven of the top 10 singles are from female solo artists. Green Day's "Know Your Enemy" is the only band/artist in the top 10 with a male singer.

THO 100 Update for week ending May 23, 2009

2009-05-28T12:37:00.003-04:00

There is a full slate of new entries on this week's THO 100, and most of them are from international stars outside the U.S. One reason for this is the recent Eurovision competition from which several hit songs have come. Another reason is the relative stagnation on U.S. radio stations at the moment. Jade Ewen's Eurovision-winning song "It's My Time" is the highest debut on the chart at #63. At the top, it is a three-way battle for #1 between Lady GaGa, Britney Spears, and The Black Eyed Peas. It is anyone's guess who will be at #1 after the dust settles next week.

THO 100 Update for the week ending May 16, 2009

2009-05-22T11:03:00.004-04:00

Make it six weeks in a row at #1 for Lady GaGa's "Poker Face." But the end of its run is near, as Britney Spears closes the gap at #2 with "If U Seek Amy." Also closing in fast is "Boom Boom Pow," the latest single from The Black Eyed Peas. This week it moves from #9 to #4 and is the largest point gainer on the chart. The Peas have never had a THO #1 before. Their highest-charting singles stalled at #3: 2003's "Where Is The Love" and 2005's "My Humps." Enjoy the chart this week!

THO 100 Update for week ending May 9, 2009

2009-05-14T19:58:00.003-04:00

The same song is both the largest point gainer and the largest chart mover on the latest THO 100 chart. It is Green Day's "Know Your Enemy" from their upcoming album "21st Century Breakdown." It is their 24th chart entry on the THO 100 and looks to possibly become their fourth #1 hit. But for now that distinction still belongs to Lady GaGa and her "Poker Face." The Black Eyed Peas and Girls Aloud both enter the top 10 with their latest singles, plus there are 10 new entries on the new chart.

THO 100 Update for week ending May 2, 2009

2009-05-05T16:10:00.003-04:00

Earlier this year Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" (featuring Colby O'Donis) spent four weeks atop the THO 100. But now it is GaGa's "Poker Face" spending a fourth week at #1, easily holding off Kelly Clarkson (#2) and Beyonce (#3). The next new number one song may very well come from another artist with #1 experience. Late last year Pink was #1 for six weeks with "So What," the lead single from her Funhouse album. This week "Please Don't Leave Me" creeps into the top 10 and appears destined to climb even higher. Pink has now had 15 top 10 hits in her career, starting with "Most Girls" in 2000 which went to #1. Enjoy the chart this week!

THO 100 Update for week ending April 18, 2009

2009-04-22T18:26:00.003-04:00

This week "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz falls off the THO 100. It is the first time since the May 3, 2008 chart the song has been missing, which amounts to 49 weeks. It becomes one of many songs to fall just shy of one full year (52 weeks) on the chart. In the last two years several songs have suffered the same fate, including "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse (51 weeks), "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood (51 weeks), "How To Save A Life" by The Fray (50 weeks), "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles (49 weeks), "U + Ur Hand" by Pink (49 weeks), and "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by The Fray (49 weeks). The last song to visit the chart for a full year was "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter (52 weeks). The all-time record (starting with THO's first chart in 1993) belongs to Alanis Morissette's "You Learn," which spent a remarkable 85 weeks on the chart.

Oh and by the way, Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" spends a second week at #1 on this week's chart.

THO 100 Update for week ending April 4, 2009

2009-04-09T12:28:00.002-04:00

We profiled the Pet Shop Boys a few weeks ago when their latest single "Love Etc." was the highest debut on the THO 100. But now the song has moved inside the top 10, which makes it their highest-charting song since the TopHitsOnline chart began in 1993. Of course that is after their huge worldwide hits "West End Girls," "What Have I Done To Deserve This," and others. But "Love Etc." is their 18th THO chart hit and might make a move even higher than #8 where it sits this week. It is doubtful it will have enough steam to overcome current #1 "My Life Would Suck Without You," nor #2 "Poker Face" by Lady GaGa. "Poker Face" might topple Clarkson next week, or else "My Life..." will top the chart for the eighth consecutive week.
