Okay, let's get the biggest news out of the way right here and right now: Korn's no longer #1. Shocking, I know. Of course, this also means that we WILL have a brand new #1 this week. That also means determining the song that replaces Korn at the top, which was not an easy task, let me tell you. That said, I do feel as if I made the right decision in the end. Just who DID replace Korn? Find out below...

Next Week Preview
Next week, little Lights Valerie Poxleitner looks to claim her second week at the top in one of the most intense #1 battles in Red countdown history. RHCP and Rammstein are both RIGHT THERE on her heels, while In Flames is coming on fast and Foster the People is coming on REALLY fast. And let's not forget about potential wild card Kitty Purry. Can Lights possibly hold on to the top spot? We'll find out (hopefully) next week.
