The top entry at #77 is the folk-rock group from Britain Mumford & Sons, who may be having a good night coming up on Sunday when the Grammys are given out. Their followup to their hit "I Will Wait" (which went to #1 on my chart) is "Lover Of The Light"...

R&B singer Ciara returns to my list for the first time in four years with her new jam, "Sorry", at #79...

American Idol freakshow Nicki Minaj is back at #81 with the third track from her Roman Reloaded album to reach my chart, "Va Va Voom"...

Justin Timberlake takes a break from, erm, whatever he does to enter at #89 with "Suit & Tie" with Jay-Z...

Country hunk Lee Brice rolls in at #91 with the third single from his Hard 2 Love album, "I Drive Your Truck"...

Danish heavy metal band Volbeat arrive on my chart for the first time at #94 with their #1 rock hit "Heaven Nor Hell"...

Country king and Voice mentor Blake Shelton returns at #95 with "Sure Be Cool If You Did"..

British band Lawson score the fourth consecutive single on my list from their debut album, "Learn To Love Again", at #96...

Dance music veteran Crystal Waters comes in at #98 with "A Love I Call My Own" with DJs Nicola Fasano and Steve Forest. Her breakthrough single, "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" is 22 years old now. Wow.

The last entry on my chart this week is rapper 50 Cent with "My Life", his "comeback" single with Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Eminem...

That's it for tonight...I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, Candletime, and my five-part "chart sweeps" of the newest music making it on to the singles charts in Billboard magazine. East Coasters, stay safe in "Nemo"!
