(Click Below to read the rest of the post)


The high debut this week belongs to newly christened American Idol judge Mariah Carey, who's apparently already sparring with Nicki Minaj on set. While Minaj's "Pound The Alarm" is topping the dance chart this week, Mariah's new song "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" is right behind...

The Swedish House Mafia are about to kick off their final tour next month, and their latest EDM jam, "Don't You Worry Child", is proving to be their biggest hit around the world yet..

Country rocker Eric Church's frouth single from his latest album Chief to make my list is "Creepin'", which also makes the country top-20 on Billboard...

Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers return after a 12-year break on my chart with a new track featuring Mick Jones from the Clash and Big Audio Dynamite, "Reboot The Mission"...

Canadian rockers Three Days Grace come onto my list with their eighth #1 mainstream rock hit "Chalk Outline"...

French DJ/producer David Guetta and Australian singer/songwriter Sia are still on my chart with their worldwide smash "Titanium", and they pair up again for another track off the re-released version of his album Nothing But The Beat called "She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)" (not the Shakira song)....

I could make the "Justin Bieber is finally sick of his own music" joke, but I won't. Honest. Well, anyway, his new pop top-10 hit with rapper Big Sean, "As Long As You Love Me", debuts on my list at #95..

Joining Little Mix, who won the eighth series of the UK version of the X Factor, is singer Amelia Lily, who came in third. Her debut single, which made the top-5 in England, is "You Bring Me Joy"...

Nashville native Greg Bates has his first hit with his debut single, "Did It For The Girl"...

Meanwhile, a group with a truckload of hits, Aerosmith, is back on my chart for the first time since 2001 with the adult-pop ballad "What Could Have Been Love"...

...finally, American rapper Kid Cudi is back courtesy of the houseparty movie Project X, which features his track "Pursuit Of Happiness" featuring alt-rock bands MGMT and Ratatat. It's currently the biggest selling song in France this week....

Well that does it for this week's chart. Thanks so much for coming, and stay tuned tomorrow for my five-part "Chart Sweeps" of the newest music debuting on Billboard magazine, as well as another Song of the day and candletime. Cheers!
