Pop Sweep: August 25, 2012...

Hey guys, it's time for the first part of today's "chart sweeps", where I give you the newest music making their way onto the music charts in Billboard magazine. This time out it's the latest on the Hot 100 and the Adult Top-40 chart.

On the Hot 100, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is finally dethroned by Flo Rida's "Whistle" at #1, and the highest debut belongs to British folk-rock group Mumford & Sons, who's biggest hit up to this week was "The Cave" at #27. Now they enter at #23 with the preview single of their sophomore album Babel, "I Will Wait"...

Coming in at #72 is another single previewing what will be one of the hottest albums of the fall, Taylor Swift's Red, and it's far removed from the country realm and capitalizes on her title as the Jennifer Aniston of the music world, in "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"...

Rapper Future scores his third chart single as a lead artist, though his biggest success so far was supporting YC on "Racks" in 2011. He's at #89 with "Turn On The Lights", which is already a top-20 R&B hit...

Country singer Jake Owen's biggest success on the pop chart so far was the title track from his current album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, which made it up to #21.  Owen returns at #93 with the third single from that CD, "The One That Got Away"...

And sneaking in at #100 is the song that's already #1 on the Rock Songs and Alternative chart, Green Day's "Oh Love". Their biggest pop hit so far was the #2 classic "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" in 2004...

Meanwhile, over on the Adult Top-40 pop chart, Katy Perry takes over the #1 spot with "Wide Awake", her seventh to top that chart, but no new songs debut this week.

Stay tuned in an hour and a half I'll bring you the latest on rock radio.
