twostepcub's music chart for March 27, 2009...

Hey guys, it's time for my top tunes for the week. This week Beyonce hangs on to a fourth week at #1, while Kelly Clarkson's latest hit jumps into the top-3. Beyonce also makes one of the biggest moves in the list, along with LaBelle and Jimmy D. Robinson. Meanwhile, former big hits by Seether, Dierks Bentley, Kristine W., Coldplay, and Moby fall out. Link-O-Rama is still in full effect, so you can click on the highlighted name of any artist to go to their website. So when's grilling time?

This week nine new songs enter my chart. First up is the iconic grunge rock band Pearl Jam, who have re-released their debut album, Ten, in a special edition that includes a disc of the original album, and a disc remixed by their long-time collaborator Brendan O'Brien. On that disc are six songs that didn't make the cut, and one of them now is the hottest song on modern rock right now. Here's "Brother"...



While Pearl Jam were often at their best when they got "political", the next band takes that to another level. It's Rise Against, and their follow-up to "Re-Education (Through Labor)", which made the top-10 on my chart.



Flo Rida has the #1 song on Billboard's Hot 100 Pop Chart, and it makes it to my list. The rapper incorporates a bastardized version of Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" to back him up...



England's charity event Comic Relief/Red Nose Day provides us with the next debut, with the Irish girl-group The Saturdays with a peppy remake of the Depeche Mode cult classic "Just Can't Get Enough"...



80's mall-pop queen Tiffany had a minor hit on my chart at the end of 2007, "Higher". This time she pairs with dance team Hydra Productions to come back with "Dust Off And Dance"...



Also on the dance tip, British DJ Chris Lake debuts with "The Only One"...



Since last year, country act Sugarland has seen their former member Kristen Hall suing the remaining two members for monies on an agreement to share profits on any work. It's a toughie - on the one hand she's clearly not collaborating with them, but I'm very suspicious that the record label forced her out. Well, either way, the third single from their latest album, Love On The Inside, enters. Here's "It Happens"...



Another country band follows suit; Texas-based Eli Young Band, named from the last names of two of their members, come on with "Always The Love Songs"



and finally, from France comes eclectic outfit Pep's, led by Florian Peppuy (the group name comes from his nickname). Fluid in its membership, Florian and the boys debut with "Liberta" (which is in French and English)...




Good night, and sweet dreams...
