Glee Cast scores their first number-one hit on my chart this year, with "Somebody That I Used To Know". Their cover is easily the best one of Season 3 so far - to me, its even better than the original. The original charts at #25 this week, a dip from 22 last week. Jessica Sanchez and Colton Dixon, two American Idol contestants, occupy the #2 and #3 spots respectively with the studio versions of their top 7 performances. Those performances are the highlights of the current season of American Idol so far. Jessie J's new single "Laserlight" debuts in the top 10. This prompted "Domino" to receive plays this week, allowing it to re-enter in the top 15. Glee Cast and Mariah Carey dominate this week's chart. Nicki Minaj's "Va Va Voom" is the biggest faller this week, dropping 18 positions to #27. JLo's "Dance Again" falls out of the top 5 after two consecutive weeks at #1. I NEVER seem to get bored of One Direction - "What Makes You Beautiful" has spent 6 consecutive weeks in the top 5. Plenty of re-entries and new entries this week. Next week, Glee or an American Idol contestant looks likely to secure the top spot, as there's no new release that I'm particularly hyped up about.
