Week 40 | Metallica, N.B. Debut, Leona vs. Coldplay for #1
This week on the countdown, Leona Lewis looks to return to form with "Better In Time", as she aims to take over the top spot for the first time since the 24th week of the countdown, when "Bleeding Love" hit #1 for the 8th time. But standing in her way is Kid Rock, who has been surging up the countdown ever since his return at #14 six weeks ago. Can the Detroit native make it to #1 for the first time ever?
Also this week, the countdown gets a hard rock infusion, as Metallica makes a countdown debut with "The Day That Never Comes," one of three debuts this week.

For the 4th time in 7 weeks, Coldplay holds the poll position on the countdown with "Viva la Vida". Can Coldplay keep up their hot streak, or can Delta Goodrem get her first ever #1 in this lifetime with "In This Life"? And what about Natasha Bedingfield? This week she had the highest debut with "Angel" and next week the last artist with a video to retire on the countdown will look to get back to the top spot.

Check back next week to see what you voted to the #1 spot!
This week on the countdown, Natasha Bedingfield looks to capitalize on her impressive top-10 debut with a giant leap to the top spot. But standing in her way, as they have been for the past 7 weeks, is Coldplay, whose Viva la Vida has dominated the chart since it's debut at #1 8 weeks ago. Also, Kid Rock has been gaining ground on the competition the last few weeks, making it to the top 3 last week. Can the Kid make it to the top spot, just as we are saying goodbye to Summer?
Also this week, T.I. returns to the countdown with "Whatever You Like".

Congratulations to Leona Lewis, who this week claims her first #1 since "Bleeding Love" hit the top of the countdown on the 24th countdown of the year. Can she have the same type of success that her previous single had on the countdown, or will "Better In Time" be one-and-done? The way Natasha Bedingfield has been moving up the countdown, it seems like Ms. Bedingfield has a great shot at overtaking Leona Lewis for the top spot next week.

Week 42 | Close Race for #1 / David Archuleta, Ne-Yo Debut!
This week on the countdown, the New Kids on the Block look to use their impressive 11-spot jump from last week as a springboard to the top of the countdown this week.

Also this week, American Idol runner up David Archuleta makes his first appearance ever on the Top 20 Countdown.

Congratulations to Jason Mraz who recaptures the #1 spot on the countdown this week with "I'm Yours". And with only 3 weeks left of eligibility, Jason Mraz is looking to keep a strangle hold on the top spot. But that is easier said than done, as Kid Rock, Natasha Bedingfield, and Leona Lewis all are in striking distance of taking over the top of the countdown. Who will come out on top next week? That's for you to decide. Check back later today to see the updated voting list, at which time you can also vote for next week's list.
Thank you for checking out the countdown and I'll be back next week with a new countdown. So until next time, have a great week!
