Here's what you can expect to see on this week's countdown:
- At the beginning of the year, Paramore ruled the countdown for 2 weeks with "Decode." And after a long time away from the countdown, the band is back with their first single off of Brand New Eyes, "Ignorance." Does Paramore have what it takes to make their second consecutive debut at #1?
- After falling out of the top 10 last week, Keri Hilson looks to get back up with a little help from 'Ye and Ne-Yo. Can the trio regain their footing, or is "Knock You Down" going to get knocked further down the chart?
- And finally, the Kings of Leon retired last week at #1 with "Use Somebody" which means that this week we have a brand new #1 video for the first time in a month. Can the Followill gang get their second #1 video with "Notion" or will Kelly Clarkson score her third #1 video off of her album All I Ever Wanted?
All of those questions will be answered plus Colbie Caillat returns to the countdown after falling off a week ago.

As you can see, I have brought back the "Wildcard Video" option to the countdown. If you want, you can use one of your ten votes to vote for a video that isn't on the countdown. Whatever song gains the most points will be added to the voting list the following week. Also, a wildcard video can debut on the countdown if it gets enough points.
Here's a taste of what's to come on this week's countdown:
- One of the greatest American bands, Pearl Jam, debut this week with their first single off of Backspacer, "The Fixer". Will the band be fighting for the top spot this week or will Eddie Vedder and company have to work for that #1 spot?
- After skyrocketing into the top 3 last week, Keri Hilson looks to knock down the competition with a little help from Ne-Yo and Kanye West. Can the three artists work in perfect harmony, or will the adage "three's a crowd" prove correct for the trio of hip-hop superstars?
- And unfortunately for Taylor Swift fans, it's one and done for the biggest name in country music, as "You Belong With Me" lets go of the #1 spot. Will Paramore take over the top spot this week or is Jordin Sparks ready strap on her armor and fight for the top spot?
The answer to all of those questions plus the countdown debut of Jay Sean's debut single "Down" is all to come on this week's countdown.

Here's a taste of what's on-tap for this week's countdown:
- Thanks to your persistence, Blue October made it onto the voting list last week. And this week the band makes there way onto the countdown for the first time ever with "Say It."
- Pearl Jam made a countdown debut last week with "The Fixer." And this week, the band looks to prove they aren't satisfied as they look to make a big jump into the top 10 this week. Were your votes enough to get Pearl Jam into the top 10, or are they still on the outside looking in?
- And a week after debuting at #1, Jay-Z has already given up the throne. Can Paramore take over the thrown they let Jay-Z capture last week, or will Daughtry gain his first number 1 video on the countdown?
The answers to all those questions plus Pete Yorn's newest video with Scarlett Johannson debuts on this week's countdown.
