THO 100 Update for the week ending September 20, 2008

For the third week in a row Rihanna claims the #1 position on the THO 100 with "Disturbia," holding off Katy Perry's former #1 "I Kissed A Girl." Once again this week, a bigger story is further down the chart where a female artist collaboration have the chart's largest point gain and largest chart move. The song is called "Just Stand Up!" and it is credited to Artists Stand Up To Cancer. It is one of the most superstar-filled collaborations for a song since "We Are The World." Leading the track is Beyonce (pictured), and also includes Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Ashanti, Mary J. Blige, Natasha Bedingfield, Rihanna, LeAnn Rimes, Carrie Underwood, Melissa Etheridge, Keyshia Cole, Sheryl Crow, Leona Lewis, Ciara, and Fergie. How will this song fair on the radio and on personal charts? We didn't think it had top 10 potential, but so far so good... it moves from #66 to #26 this week.

THO 100 Update for week ending May 10, 2008

No big surprise this week as Madonna extends her lead over the THO 100 at #1 with "4 Minutes" (featuring Justin Timberlake). The song is the largest point gainer and has one of the highest point totals in THO's history, which dates back over 15 years. Another big story is the unusually high number of song debuts this week. We didn't change our chart methodology, so it is just coincidence that there are 14 songs debuting. They are led by Nelly's "Party People" (featuring Fergie) which lands at #57. Given Nelly and Fergie's superstar status, top ten placement is almost guarranteed for this one.
