THO 100 Update for week ending April 18, 2009

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.

2008 Brit Awards

Although most of our readers are from the US, Top Hits Online is not just about the US music scene. You'll notice that the THO 100 has many UK and Australian hits. On February 20th the 2008 Brit Awards will be held in London. This is one of our favorite awards shows, because there are only 10 awards handed out, rather than the 100+ awards given at the US Grammys. We've created polls for the best British this-and-that. See the links below:
British Group
British Albums
British Single
British Breakthrough Act
British Male Solo Artist
British Female Solo Artist

Tomorrow we'll have polls for the four international Brit awards.

2008 Grammy Awards

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Grammy Awards, which will be televised on February 10th. Kanye West leads all artists with eight nominations. Let's hope he keeps his cool this year if he doesn't win. With six nominations is troubled sensation Amy Winehouse. We know that sometimes the "best" artists don't seem to win the awards, so as usual we've created a few polls for you to vote for your favorites. Just look for the Grammy Polls at the top of our polls page, and while you are there also check out the winners from previous Grammy Awards.
