US Billboard Charts (20/03/2010)

[Lehmann]

i don't like this song break your heart, it's boring and uninteresting, i prefer american sound to european...

[Vanacoring]

According to Amazon only the import version of the album is available overseas.

So, officially Taio's album isn't released in America yet.

Great : it's always better to release an album after a super hit ! The debut will be very interesting after this achievement !

I refuse to believe that Lifehouse's new album is #6 with 54k this week.

These guys had the annual #1 single of 2001 in America. Remember "Hanging By The Moment"?

[ZiggyStardust]

50 YEARS AGO

Percy Faith's classic instrumental hit spent 9 weeks at #1. Only "Hey Jude" has spent 9 weeks at the top spot during the 1960s. Jim Reeves at #2 had crossover country success on the Hot 100 long before Lady Antebellum.

Terrible # 1!

[Vanacoring]

I refuse to believe that Lifehouse's new album is #6 with 54k this week.

Why ? It's very good or very bad ?
For me, it's a good debut !

It's a good thing, but it was unexpected. I thought they are retired LOL

Ah okay ! I totally agree : good result after a very big absence !

"You And Me" was one of the biggest hits of 2005/2006, with 62 weeks charted on Hot 100 it pretty much was at the time what I'm Yours was in 2008/2009. It was one of the first tracks to sell over 2 million downloads.
They got 3 chart toppers on Adult top 40 recurrents in 2008 and 2009 too. They have been quite active recently!

[Marshall]

the biggest mistake in US history... for example brilliant, monster hits like Work It(Missy Elliott), Bad Romance and Party In The USA peaked "only" #2. What a shame!!

However this is their biggest sales week since 2005 when "Lifehouse" sold 63k.

Mistake? That's not a mistake... during their staying at #2 there was a song that had more points (ariplay/sales) than those songs you mentioned.

[ZiggyStardust]

the biggest mistake in US history...

So, you have heard of all US chart hits from July 1940 through March 2010?

I thought I was the only one!

Yes, but i think there are many better songs which should've reached no.1 of course people decide what they want to buy, so... I only voiced my opinion.

Well, history is full of similar cases... for me, the worst is Creedence Clearwater Revival: they scored 5 #2 songs and no #1 hit

[Willypedia]

It's cool to have an other song with a sound very European at the summit of the US chart.

Not for me.

I imagine easily : you are very "American sound" Willy !

I'm not open minded bout music...but considering how things are going on, it isn't such a bad thing...

Great band. At least they had #1 albums on the Billboard 200.

I know only the US charts between 2002 and 2010 personally !
In any case, it's not a mistake, just the choice of the people !

[HazelEyes]

Was Taoi Cruz even on iTunes????
Surely this is a mistake.

[emilhot]

If Blah Blah Blah doesn`t start increase again in the coming week. Then i think the label should move quickly on to the next single! Like releasing Your Love Is My Drug in late april (US radio adds)!

What's BBB airplay figures??????

[jordi_89]

Taio's number one hit "Break Your Heart" is a nice surprise this week on the Hot 100. It was one of my favourite songs of 2009 (and a big European hit last year).

Big hit in Europe, except in France : I think nobody know again this song here... It's cool to have an other song with a sound very European at the summit of the US chart.

and what about Spain? i don't think it didn't even enter the Top 50 Songs...
