twostepcub's music chart for August 7, 2009

Hey guys, well it's time for my tunes for the week. Wow it's been two weeks since my last post, and David Guetta and Kelly Rowland stay at the top for a third week, while Rob Thomas (pictured above) jumps into the top-5. The biggest jumps are by songs by La Roux, Jordin Sparks, and Simply Red; and in the two weeks since I last posted this list, former big hits by Theory of a Deadman, Enrique Iglesias, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, All-American Rejects, Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson, and The Killers dropped out. Whew! Link-O-Rama is still in effect, so for any of you stumbling upon my blog new, you can click on the highlighted name of any artist to go to their website (right-click, and you can bring it up in a new window or tab). The last week positions are from the week I skipped. And away we gooooo.....

This week there are seven debuts (while German hit "Stadt" comes back). First off is long-time fave Michael Franti, who used to be in the seminal intellectual hip-hop outfit Disposible Heroes of Hiphiprosy, and now fronts Spearhead, with the bubbly summer jam "Say Hey (I Love You)"...

Next is English boy-band JLS, who competed on Britain's X Factor, and debut their new single "Beat Again"....

I saw Australian Howie Day opening for Tori Amos quite a few years back, and since then he had hit the big time with songs like "Collide". His new single is "Be There"...
