It's about time that you updated this. When the only one I'm not sure of (because I haven't heard it) is #1, you know you have an awesome one going on, dawg. */kindaRandyJackson*
Well I fell behind another week. As always, I only update the most recent countdown, therefore each song receives 2 weeks credit if they were on 2 weeks ago and this week.
Silversun Pickups jumping to the top for the first time. Finally "Sound of Madness" fall from number 1. For a second, I thought it might compete to tie the countdown record having all 10 weeks at #1, but it only made it halfway.
We have a new feature that begins this week. I'm doing an alternative top 5 in addition to the regular countdown. Odds are, that won't last very long as I will get too lazy.
Regular top 10
10. The Dead Weather- "Hang You From the Heavens" (DEBUT)
9. 311- "Hey You" (DEBUT)
8. Live- "Forever" (DEBUT)
7. Pearl Jam- "Brother" (6th week peak 6) (-1)
6. Disturbed- "The Night" (7th week peak 6) (+2)
5. Mastodon- "Divinations" (6th week peak 3) (-2)
4. Kings of Leon- "Revelry" (4th week peak 2) (-2)
Note that the alternative top 5 only includes songs not on the regular countdown. Obviously Silversun Pickups would be #1 if that was allowed.
Alternative top 5 (Retirement entirely up to me)
5. Gomez- "Airstream Driver"
