Pop Sweep: October 6, 2012...

Hey gang, it's time for the first part of today's five-part "chart sweeps" of the new songs making their way on to the weekly music charts in Billboard magazine. This time out it's the latest on the pop side of the house.

On the big chart, the Hot 100, Maroon 5 stay on top for a second week with "One More Night".

The big debut this week is by singer and The Voice coach Christina Aguilera, who's riding on the success of her #1 hit from last year with Maroon 5, "Moves Like Jagger". "Your Body" comes in at #34, and while the original version is a disjointed hot mess, the remix cleans things up a bit into a campy club jam...
