As Jason Mraz gets ready to become the fifth artist (and first male) to join the Retirement Club, one question remains: can he retire at the top? To do so, he is going to have to fight off some tough competition, especially from Katy Perry, who had a remarkable week last week, as "Hot N Cold" debuted at #5 on the countdown. Also, there is Natasha Bedingfield, who has held the top spot for the past 2 weeks, and will look to become the first 3-peat champion since Leona Lewis did so with "Bleeding Love".
Also this week, Snow Patrol and Oasis debut on the countdown.

This week on the countdown, Katy Perry looks to keep up with her forward momentum and gain her first number one since Independence Day Weekend with "Hot N Cold".

And don't count out Natasha Bedingfield, as "Angel" appears to be on the verge of reclaiming the top spot.
Also this week, Beyonce makes a countdown debut with "If I Were a Boy".

Can the boy band keep up their hot streak, or will Natasha Bedingfield snatch the top spot back from the defending champion? And what about Katy Perry? "Hot N Cold" has been nothing but hot so far, and she looks to get even hotter next week, with the #1 spot on the chart.

On this week's countdown, Natasha Bedingfield looks to reclaim the top spot on the countdown after being held out of the poll position by the New Kids on the Block & Ne-Yo, whose "Single" has been vacating the top spot for the past two weeks. Also of note this week, The Ting Tings set their sites on retiring on the countdown after twenty grueling weeks on the countdown. Where will the duo end up? You will find out soon enough.
Also this week, after a fourteen week hiatus, Jennifer Hudson returns to the countdown with her hit "Spotlight".

Congratulations to The Ting Tings who for the first (and last) time on the countdown hold the top spot on the countdown. It took twenty weeks for the duo to get there, but finally the fans voted enough to get "Shut Up and Let Me Go" to the top. But next week, as we are guaranteed a new #1, who will have enough to take over the number one spot? Will one of the number one mainstays Natasha Bedingfield, Coldplay, or New Kids on the Block take the top spot, or can Katy Perry or Jordin Sparks make it interesting next week?
It's all up to you. Check back later to see an updated voting list, at which time you will also be able to vote for next week's countdown.
Thank you for checking out the countdown and have a wonderful and safe Halloween.
