THO 100 for week ending March 27, 2010

Despite some adjustments to the THO 100 chart compilation formula, the top 5 songs remain in the same order. However, 11 songs enter the chart for the first time, led by Paramore's "The Only Exception." The second-highest new entry is Shakira's "Gypsy" (or "Gitana," the spanish version). This marks Shakira's 14 song on the THO 100 since her first single "Whenever, Wherever" charted in late 2001. It went to #1. She has had chart hits in every year since, except for 2004 and 2008, racking up three #1 songs along the way. The other two number ones were "Hips Don't Lie" and "She Wolf." We've created a poll for Shakira's top 10 hits so far.

THO 100 for week ending March 20, 2010

Lady GaGa's record-breaking run at the #1 position on the THO 100 comes to an end... sort of. Her single "Bad Romance" falls to #2 after 18 weeks at the summit, and was replaced by yet another GaGa hit: "Telephone" (featuring Beyonce). It is Lady GaGa's fourth #1 song on the THO 100 and Beyonce's third, not counting her three #1 songs as part of Destiny's Child. "Romance's" 18 weeks at #1 was three weeks longer than the previous record of 15 by Cher's "Believe" and Madonna's "You'll See." But will it go down as the #1 song in THO history, based on chart points? To earn that distinction it will need to best Alanis Morissette's "You Learn" which spent 85 weeks on the chart in 1996 and 1997.

THO 100 for week ending March 13, 2010

The Courteeners are an indie rock band from England who recently released their second album, "Falcon." Their first single from Falcon is "You Overdid It Doll," which becomes THO's largest point gainer and biggest chart mover this week. On the UK chart "Overdid It" reached #28, but it hasn't received enough airplay in the U.S. to chart yet. Nothing new to report at the top of the Top Hits Online weekly chart, as "Bad Romance" extends its record for weeks at #1 to 18 weeks. The #2 song, "Telephone" actually lost points this week, so the record may be extended another week until Rihanna's "Rude Boy" or Timbaland's "If We Ever Meet Again" can catch up.

THO 100 for week ending March 6, 2010

This week on the THO 100, Lady GaGa extends her record for most weeks at #1 with a single as "Bad Romance" makes it 17 weeks at the top. It is hard to believe that it became the number one song on November 14th. What is the only song that might put a stop to it? Of course, another Lady GaGa song! Her duet with Beyonce, "Telephone", climbs to #2 this week. Another single with a shot at blocking GaGa is Rihanna's "Rude Boy". After having the largest point gain last week, "Rude" springs from #11 to #6 this week. Rihanna is no stranger to the #1 position: she's had four #1 singles already starting with "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)" in 2006.
