Week 43 | L.L. vs. N.B. For #1 / Fall Out Boy Debuts
This week on the countdown, Leona Lewis looks to reclaim the #1 spot on the countdown after falling to the hands of Jason Mraz last week. Standing in her way is Delta Goodrem, who looks to rebound this week after falling out of the top 10 for the first time last week.
Also this week, The Ting Tings return to the countdown as the band gets even closer to retiring on the chart.

Congratulations to Natasha Bedingfield, who claims the 20th #1 song on the chart this week. N.B. also gets her second #1 song on the chart, as "Pocketful of Sunshine" hit the top spot 5 times during it's countdown run. Can "Angel" have the same kind of run as her previous hit? Leona Lewis sure doesn't think so, since "Better In Time" continues to get better in time, as she has been in the top 2 for the past month.
Who will take home the crown next week? That's for you to decide. Check back later to see the new voting list, at which time you will be able to vote. Thanks for checking out the countdown and I'll be back next week.

Week 44 | Katy Perry Debuts Top 5 / Coldplay vs. N.B. for #1
This week on the countdown, Delta Goodrem looks to use last week's 7-spot leap into the top 5 as a spring board to the #1 spot on the countdown with "In This Life". But that will prove to be a difficult task, as Natasha Bedingfield blew away the competition last week. Can "Angel" hold the #1 spot for back-to-back weeks? If so, it will be the first time a song has been #1 2 weeks in a row since "Pocketful of Sunshine" did so back in week 29 and 30. But don't leave out Jason Mraz, who is closing in on retirement, and would love to go out on top. Will one of these artists take the top spot, or are we in store for a shocking change at the top?
Also this week, Jack White & Alicia Keys' duet, "Another Way to Die", makes it's debut on the countdown.

Congratulations to Natasha Bedingfield, who holds on to the top spot of the countdown for the 2nd week in a row. Can she 3-peat as champion, or will Jason Mraz, who retires next week, be able to go out on top? And don't discount Coldplay, as they moved up 7 spots this week, and are aiming for an oustanding 5th week at #1.
