May 22nd - May 28th, 2009
Metric easily secure a third week at the top with
Gimme Sympathy, which has now matched the 3-week reign at the top that
Poster of a Girl had in 2006. How much longer can the Canadian Alt-Gods go though?
Silversun Pickups are still at #2, while
Kelly Clarkson is new to the top 5 and
Green Day is just waiting to barrage in. Still, Metric have a good shot at grabbing another 1-2 weeks up top, which would put it in the running for the song of the year thus far along with
Spaceman by the Killers and
Use Somebody by Kings of Leon.
3 Debuts: The first is a track that should have debuted last week but I plain as hell just forgot, which explains the big debut this week.
Cobra Starship enlist Gossip Girl hottie Leighton Meester to serve up one of the most refreshingly catchy choruses of the early Summer in
Good Girls Go Bad. Next up is 09's resident buzz-band
Airborne Toxic Event with
Wishing Well, a song that may be able to best the disappointing peak of
Sometime Around Midnight from earlier this year. And last but not least,
Alexisonfire with
Young Cardinals. Although not as immediately catchy as their breakthrough hit,
This Could Be Anywhere In The World (which peaked at #2 on the chart), this is a solid offering and should do well for the Canadian rock outfit.
RECOMMENDED SONGS OF THE WEEK:
Linkin Park - New Divide
The Stills - I'm With You
