Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Music Videos, The Charts, Videos, Pop,
“Thriller” may have been the Michael Jackson video most fans wanted to watch, but it surprisingly wasn’t the song most people wanted to play, play, play.
According to Billboard, it was a tune that Jackson did with Paul McCartney that ranks as the late singer’s best hit. “Say, Say, Say” topped a list of 50 tracks followed by “Billie Jean” and “I’ll Be There.”
The list, which was compiled to help commemorate the upcoming anniversary of Michael’s death (June 25), took a number of factors into consideration to determine a track’s performance in the Hot 100. (You can read the full explanation behind the inverse point system here.) Although “Billie Jean” spent more weeks at #1, the Jackson/McCartney collaboration lasted longer on the charts.

Jason Mraz Sets New Billboard Record
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, The Charts, Pop,
Having trouble getting Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” out of your head? It seems you are not the only one.
Despite debuting over a year ago (May 3, 2008) and only peaking at #6 on the Hot 100, the song still has a lot of life. Now, after 70 weeks on that Billboard chart, the Grammy-nominated tune has broken the record previously set by LeAnn Rimes. (“How Do I Live” ended it’s 69-week run in 1998.)
“I’m Yours” is also the first tune to top each of these four radio-based charts: Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs, Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40, and Triple A.

Although she might be so seven seasons ago, Kelly Clarkson is giving the contestants of American Idol 8 something to look up to.
The show’s first-ever winner has just broken a Billboard record recently set by Britney Spears. Clarkson’s new single, “My Life Would Suck Without You,” has just made the biggest leap ever to #1 in the Hot 100’s 50-year history. Tomorrow, the song will have officially jumped from #97 to #1 in just one week of release. (Britney’s “Womanizer” only moved from #96 to #1.)

Twilight Soundtrack Tops Music Charts
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: The Charts, Soundtracks,
The second phase of Twilight domination is officially complete.
Now that we’re just eight days away from the big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel, it’s becoming increasingly impossible to avoid anything with Robert Pattinson’s face on it. The mania over the best-selling book has inspired collector’s edition magazine covers (EW), news packages (Nightline) and sight-seeing tours (Forks, WA). It’s even evolved into a #1 album.
After two turns at the top of the charts, AC/DC’s Black Ice was just dethroned by the soundtrack for the vampire-themed movie. Although Twilight is now the third soundtrack this year to reach #1 (following Juno and Mamma Mia!), it’s the only one since 2006’s Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies for Curious George to debut there.
Twilight - which includes tracks from Linkin Park, Muse and Paramore - sold 165,000 units last week. AC/DC came in second with 160,000 while High School Musical 3 came in third with 110,000.
