Another week, another #1. This time, Maroon 5 is finally hitting the peak spot in 2012 with One More Night. The song, after week's of creeping up the chart, hits #1 in it's thirteenth week on the chart. The push comes thanks to a #11-#5 jump at Radio Songs and a stable hold at #3 on Digital Songs. After Maroon 5's first single from their new album Overexposed, Payphone, flirted near the top for so long without reaching the peak position, it's awesome to see that the band finally is getting a #1. With lead singer Adam Levine's coaching position on NBC's hot series The Voice, it's possible the song could extend its' stay. After a sudden bounce to #1 last week, Taylor Swift falls back to #2 with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. The song makes it five weeks at #1 on Digital Songs and jumps #7-#6 on Radio Songs, but it just couldn't match the performance of One More Night. Despite a #4-#5 slide on Digital Songs, fun.'s Some Nights hits a new peak of #3, up one spot from last week. The song's #16-#11 charge on Radio Songs certainly helped things out. We'll see if the song can climb any higher and at least hit #1 to match We Are Young. Flo Rida falls another spot, #3-#4, with Whistle, and it looks like the song is headed on its way down. At the other end of the spectrum, it appears Pink's VMA performance was perfect timing. After jumping back into the Top 10 last week, Blow Me (One Last Kiss) makes it's top 5 appearance, jumping #6-#5. The song made a gigantic #4-#1 push on Radio Songs and an #8-#7 jump on Digital Songs, and with the release of her new album this week, things are looking awesome for this punk-pop star.
Two songs reach new heights in the second tier of the Billboard Hot 100. Justin Bieber and Big Sean's As Long As You Love Me climbs #7-#6 after a strong week of sales, while Alex Clare's surprise hit Too Close reaches up two more spots for a new peak of #8. In between, Ellie Goulding is still holding strong in the Top 10 with Lights at #7, two spots lower than last week. Good Time, the Carly Rae Jepsen/Owl City summer jam, is the only song in the Top 10 to hold steady from last week at #9, while Neon Trees' Everybody Talks falls two spots #8-#10, two weeks after an astonishing blast into the Top 10. Billboard's chart hints at two potential hits to come in the coming weeks. Korean pop star Psy and his ridiculous Gangnam Style are blowing up all over the States and he makes a remarkable #64-#11 push. The song explodes #25-#4 on Digital Songs and #43 debut on Radio Songs, and could climb higher next week as the song should make a Top 10 debut. You can make your own conclusions about how you feel about the song, and I'll keep my own to myself, sound good? Right below Gangnam, at #12, Kanye West's collab with Big Sean and Jay-Z slides up #55-#12 after a #16-#2 jump on Digital Songs and a #75 debut on Radio Songs. If sales stay strong, the song could make its way to the Top 10. And again, I'll reserve judgment.
Carly Rae Jepsen's first hit Call Me Maybe continues to slide down the Billboard charts, although she falls only one spot this week from #12-#13. Katy Perry's Wide Awake takes a bigger fall from #11-#14. Although Maroon 5 hits #1 with One More Night, their previous hit, Payphone, slides two spots from #13-#15. Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know continues the trend of sliding down the chart, falling #15-#16. Finally, one song that isn't falling: Nicki Minaj's Pound the Alarm, up two spots from #17-#19. As the song climbs up Radio Songs, it continues it's early strong performance that stalled earlier this month. Demi Lovato's Give Your Heart a Break dips one spot #17-#18. David Guetta and Sia's Titanium takes a bigger fall than the other songs, as it slips #14-#19, while Kanye West and Co.'s Mercy falls from #18-#20. Chris Brown's Don't Wake Me Up continues to rise #24-#21, and the song should be a Top 20 hit by next week (whether you're happy about that or not). Hunter Hayes' Wanted also jumps a spot #23-#22, and with a bump in sales this week, it could climb into the Top 20 next week. Cher Lloyd's Want U Back continues to make an unceremonious fall as it slips #21-#27 this week. Train's 50 Ways to Say Goodbye jumps one spot from #31 to #30.
Imagine Dragons' album release led to a big push for their single, It's Time, as it jumps #49 to #33. Hopefully, the song can get higher as alternative music has been very popular this year and this song deserves it. Taylor Swift's Ronan takes a bit of a fall after immediate buzz for the song washed away in its second week of sales, but the fall was smaller than expected, only #16-#36. David Guetta's I Can Only Imagine makes another stride from #61-#55, as does Ed Sheeran's The A Team which jumps #69-#61. Karmin's Hello makes another jump as it rises #77-#64. Lifehouse make a surprise appearance on the chart after an impressive Digital Songs debut at #30, logging in a Hot 100 debut at #79. Passion Pit's Take a Walk jumps two spots from #87-#85, while one spot below, Carly Rae Jepsen's new single, This Kiss, makes it's debut at #86. Three debuts take up the bottom tier of the Hot 100: Enrique Iglesias' new single Finally Found You debuts at #94, Glee's cover of Imagine Dragons' It's Time at #95, and Olly Murs' Heart Skips a Beat finally arrives at #96.
