twostepcub's music chart for January 2, 2009...

Hey everybody, it's time for my tunes for the current week. In the upcoming posts I'll be recapping 2008, but in the meantime, here's my current faves. This week Nickelback stays on top for week four, while Robin Thicke (pictured above) sneaks his way into the top-3. Former big hits by Weezer and Tina Sugandh drop out, while The Fray, Toby Keith, and Robbie Williams make the biggest moves (big moves marked in red). Link-o-rama is in effect, so you can click on the name of any artist to go to their website. Pop the champgne!

This week seven new songs enter my list, and oddly four of them are by artists already on the chart. The top debut though is by Madonna, whose third single from her Hard Candy album proves to be a smash in the dance clubs. Here's "Miles Away"...



Kanye West's "Love Lockdown" is creeping up the countdown, while his followup, the stark "Heartless" jumps in to join...



Teen-country flavor-du-jour Taylor Swift has "Love Story" approaching my top-40, while her followup "White Horse" jumps in at #92...



Jimmy Wayne follows up his top-5 hit "Do You Believe Me Now" with a really amazingly pretty ballad, it's one of my faves right now. Here's "I Will"...



Coldplay actually lands its third concurrent single on my chart, as the fourth single from their lastest album forms a hat trick with "Viva La Vida" at #68 and "Lovers In Japan" at #57. Here's "Lost"...



Rihanna is hanging in the top-40 with "Disturbia", and now she does an assist to help rapper/felon T.I. get his first 2SC chart entry with a little help from a sample of the "Numa Numa" song. Here's "Live Your Life"...



Finally, country singer Jake Owen is back with the first single from his upcoming sophomore album, it's "Don't Think I Can't Love You"...



Want some more cake?
