twostepcub's music chart for February 10, 2012...

Hey everyone, it's time for my weekly rundown of my top 100 tunes of the past week. This week, Adele again takes over the top spot with her third consecutive single, while the Foo Fighters (pictured above) take their third-running single to the top-10. There are some big moves on this weeks chart, including the biggest by Jessie J, Gotye, and Rihanna, while former big hits by Anjulie, Jason Aldean, Seether, and Charlie Wilson drop out. Link-O-Rama is still in effect, so you can click on any of the highlighted artist names to go to their website. Honey Badger don't care!

There are seven new songs on my list this week, and here they are, along with a little about the artists, with links to their previous hits in orange.

The highest entry comes from California-based alt-rock trio Foster The People, who behind singer/songwriter Mark Foster carried an internet giveaway track to be the biggest viral modern rock hit of last year, "Pumped Up Kicks". That was followed by another top-10 rock hit "Helena Beat". For their third chart hit, which also is getting play at adult-pop radio, the trio filmed a 3D video starring Precious Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe, who is apparently having the worst driving lesson ever on "Don't Stop (Color On The Walls)"...



The next song pairs two dance/R&B powerhouses as club legend Ultra Nate, who can boast seven #1 dance hits like "Found A Cure" and "Give It All You Got", with Michelle Williams, who as part of Destiny's Child had two #1 pop hits as well as a solo dance #1 with "The Greatest". The two pair up for the top-20 dance hit "Waiting For You"....



Country crossover trio Lady Antebellum are still cruising down my list with the hit "Just A Kiss", which just missed my top-10 year-end chart in 2011, while the second followup to that smash is debuting this week. It was initially released as a leadin to their Own The Night CD, and now has climbed into the country top-20. Here's "Dancin' Away With My Heart"...



Tiffany Arbuckle, who records under the moniker Plumb, has successfully straddled the fence between Christian rock and dance music, and her non-overbearing work has garnered her three top-5 dance hits, including the charttopper "Hang On" and top-3 "In My Arms". For her third, she recruits Jars Of Flood lead singer Dan Haseltine, who already has a top-40 hit of his own with his band's "Flood" from 1996, on the club jam "Drifting"...



Toronto singer Guinivere places her first song on the US dance charts with the seductive "Crazy Crazy"...



Another Toronto native, Drake has had five top-10 singles as a lead artist (the biggest being the #2 debut "Best I Ever Had" in 2009), his biggest hit so far has been his supporting role in ex-girlfriend Rihanna's #1 "What's My Name" last year. "Make Me Proud", his second big hit with rapper Nicki Minaj (after "Moment 4 Life"), is his 2nd #1 R&B hit (after "Best")...



The last debut is the ever-present Pitbull, whose been riding a streak of big dance singles, including "Give Me Everything", his #1 hit that's still on the Billboard top 50 chart almost a year after its debut. This time he's with Chris Brown, for a track that sports the most cheesiest low-rent video from a superstar I've seen in quite a while. Like "Friday" bad. Oh well, they have to pay for plane fare I guess for their "International Love"...
