This week on the countdown, Madonna looks to move into the top spot after last week's impressive 8 spot jump into the top 5. But there are a lot of artists standing in her way, most notably Rihanna, as she scored her third number one hit last week. Will she be able to go two weeks in a row with If I Never See Your Face Again, or will a thief come in and take the top spot?
Also this week, you decided to overhaul the countdown, as six songs make their debut.

For the 8th time this year, Rihanna has the #1 song on the chart, this time with her newest hit, Disturbia. But has Rihanna done enough to scare off the competition, or will Natasha Bedingfield's happy tune Pocketful of Sunshine be able to brighten up the countdown next week? And what about Leona Lewis and her hit Better In Time? You know that Leona isn't happy with Rihanna tying her record of most weeks at #1 on the countdown, but is Time on Leona Lewis' side?

This week on the countdown, Leona Lewis looks to keep moving on up the countdown with Better In Time. But is the time right for LL to take the top spot? If it's up to Rihanna, the Bleeding Love singer will have to wait some time to get her second #1 single on the chart, as Disturbia looks to continue what it started last week.
Also this week, three songs debut on the chart and I will show you a music video from one of the best new bands on the planet, Fleet Foxes.

This week, I give you the Countdown Premiere of the first single off of Fleet Foxes self-titled debut album, White Winter Hymnal. The band is on the Sub Pop record label, which has unearthed such great talents as Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins and Nirvana. So as you can see, the Fleet Foxes find themselves in some great company, and, with your votes, could land a spot on the countdown next week.
So without any further adieu, here is the Countdown Premiere of White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes.
Thank you so much for checking out the countdown this week. And congratulations is due to Coldplay, who, after ten hard fought weeks on the countdown, finally find themselves at #1. But can the band continue their hot streak? There will be some tough competition next week, from Rihanna, Linkin Park, Natasha Bedingfield, and...Coldplay? That's right, Viva la Vida will be looking to take home a slice of #1, but will two Coldplay songs on the ballot be too much for the voters to handle? Find out next week on the countdown!
