+ David Cook thrown out from the #1 spot
+ Taylor Swift makes the Highest Debut Ever in the History of this countdown
+ Paula DeAnda also enters the countdown with her latest single
+ Demi Lovato makes it to the top 10
+ And Miley reenters the top 10 as well, guess who'll be on a better spot?
^ This nice person who bumped my countdown reminded me I have to update it.....eventually.
Anyway, "Sound of Madness" retired.
"Panic Switch" is 1 week from retiring and has a shot to do so at #1, which is a feat only done twice on my countdown.
Countdown to be updated soon...or not soon. Who knows?
If you remember, the last update was 5/11/09. Have I finally stopped being lazy and updated the countdown? Well half of that is right as I am updating the countdown. The question is "Will I continue to do so?" Only time will tell on that one.
Well we have some technical stuff to get out of the way. I've added 6 songs to the retirement list. 2 of which were 2 weeks from retiring on the last update on 5/11 and 4 more that would have definitely retired had the countdown continued. You can see that below.
Now for the 10 debut update:
10. Gorillaz- "Stylo" (DEBUT)
9. Silversun Pickups- "The Royal We" (DEBUT)
8. Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson- "Relator" (DEBUT)
7. Vampire Weekend- "Cousins" (DEBUT)
6. Flyleaf- "Beautiful Bride" (DEBUT)
5. Slipknot- "Snuff" (DEBUT)
4. Adelita's Way- "Invincible" (DEBUT)
3. Muse- "Resistance" (DEBUT)
