THO's Top Hits Of 2009

It should come as no surprise that 2009's biggest hit, according to our calculations, comes from the artist who probably made the biggest splash in 2009. "Poker Face" from Lady GaGa was #1 for seven weeks, and spent 23 weeks in the top 10 of the THO 100, seven weeks more than any other song. It spent 33 weeks inside the top 40, five weeks more than any other song. Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" spent the most weeks on the THO 100 in 2009, with 47, and finished at #4 on the year-end chart. The Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift all had two songs in the top 20, but it was once again Lady GaGa leading with three songs in the top 10. When we compile the Top Artists of 2009 chart in the next few days, should we expect anyone else to come out on top?

Top Songs of 2009... at the halfway point

We are halfway through the calendar year, so we thought it would be fun to see what the top songs of 2009 are up to this point. Our rankings are based on performance on the THO 100 only. It is probably no surprise that "Poker Face" is #1, having spent seven weeks atop the chart. Lady GaGa has two songs in the top five, the other being "Just Dance" which has been around since June of 2008. Several other songs on the list are 2008 hits that extended their chart run well into 2009. Britney Spears, Beyonce, The Killers, and Pink are the other artists to have two songs in the top 20. And as it often is with the THO 100, which is based on individual personal charts published on the web, women rule the list, leading each of the top 10 tracks.
