THO 100 Update for the week ending July 11, 2009

This week on the THO 100, David Guetta holds on to the top position with "When Love Takes Over" (featuring Kelly Rowland). The song has already peaked in Europe, but is still gaining airplay in the United States. The most likely contenders to take over #1 in the coming weeks: Jordin Sparks, Linkin Park, and The Black Eyed Peas. Ciara (pictured) has the highest debut on the new chart, coming in at #65 with "Work." If not for Ciara's new hit, the highest debut would have been "Man In The Mirror" by Michael Jackson. A lot of personal chart-makers have been charting Michael Jackson songs, and "Man" is the most popular. "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" just missed making the chart as well.

THO 100 Update for week ending January 31, 2009

We'll have to check the archives, and probably need to go back a few years, to find the last artist to have four solo hits on the THO 100 at the same time. This week Beyonce accomplishes just that. The biggest hit of the four (so far) is "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," which currently sits at #2. At #15 is "If I Were A Boy," which previously reached a high of #3. Further down the chart are "Halo" at #39 and "Diva" at #86. All four songs are from her recent album "I Am...Sasha Fierce." The album could end up alongside Michael Jackson's "Thriller," Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation," and just a few other albums that had more than five hit songs. Enjoy this week's chart!

Top Songs of 1983

It is easy to see why our 1983 polls and chart are the most popular of the decade. The year was filled with huge hits. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and "Billie Jean," plus hits by The Police, Duran Duran, and Men At Work are just a few. We will soon be publishing our ranked list of the top songs of the entire decade, and the #1 song could very well be from 1983. The only question is which huge hit it will be.

Janet Jackson Continues Chart Success

Janet Jackson first hit the pop charts when she was only 16 years old - a minor hit called "Young Love" in 1982. Since then Janet has charted more than 50 different songs and has collaborated with an all-star list of musicians, including Luther Vandross, Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Shaggy, Joni Mitchell, Nelly, Michael Jackson, and many more. This week Jackson pulls off a rare feat as two songs simultaneously debut on the THO 100: "Rock With U" and "Luv." Both songs recently began receiving radio airplay in different formats and in different countries. In honor of all her accomplishments we created a poll for music fans to select the best Janet Jackson songs of her career. The poll includes all of her major hits: from "What Have You Done For Me Lately" to "Feedback."

Top Songs of 1987

The results of our 1987 poll are filled with the huge artists you would certainly expect from that year: U2, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, etc. With the latest round of votes tallied, U2 barely misses the #1 position, which is still occupied by Madonna. But some other surprises (at least to us) made the top 10, including Whitesnake, Heart and Belinda Carlisle. We invite you to vote on more of these 80s polls and to check out the latest results.
