The unthinkable has happened today, Kings of Leon have topped Florence and the Machine's total playcount on my top artist list on LastFm, becoming the fastest gaining act ever! With Mayer pushing Glee out of the top 10, my top 10 list becomes a list that only features recording artists, dominated by the US. Madonna is now dangerously close to become the 6th artist top reach 1.000 plays.
Top 10 acts:
01 - 2.776 - Mariah Carey (USA)
02 - 1.747 - Robbie Williams (GB) 03 - 1.160 - Kings of Leon (USA)
04 - 1.158 - Florence and the Machine (GB)
05 - 1.103 - The Killers (USA)
06 - 0.992 - Madonna (USA)
07 - 0.977 - Coldplay (GB)
08 - 0.863 - Nelly Furtado (CAN)
09 - 0.862 - Justin Timberlake (USA)
10 - 0.843 - John Mayer (USA)
Week 42 was a weird week. Despite being overshadowed and completely dominated by the Kings of Leon again, it was a week where many Live songs made some impact - again. I love a good live set and Madonna gets the crown this week. Her Confessions Tour album received more airplay than her newest live set MDNA Tour this week. It was also just this week when I found out about Late Orchestration and since this features some of my alltime fave Rap songs, this had to make an impact as well. Diamonds actually almost topped the singles chart.

What a nice surprise to see those 4 charting! The Late Orchestration / Abbey Road version of Diamonds from Sierra Leona is incredible!

Can Katy Perry make the double or will someone interfere?
The Facts:
1) Prism was off to a fantastic start this week. It became the fastest gaining album at the beginning of the week.
2) Only 2 songs can actually reach the #1 position this week - as competition was very weak. And no, among those is no song by the Kings of Leon.
3) The latest chart leader Mechanical Bull has amassed more across the board spins this week than last week at the same time.
4) Those were the total albums spins for the 2 leadings discs: 55 vs. 53! The gap is almost non-existant.
Katy Perry used the final minutes of the tracking week nicely and kept Kanye from getting this week's #1. Spiritual is Perry's 3rd overall #1 single on my chart. Over on the albums chart Mechanical Bull proved to be an obstacle to complete the double. Mechanical Bull ended its 5th consecutive week at #1. Who can stop Kings of Leon? They once again have 3 albums in the top. If this trend continues they might end up as the year's biggest act, surpassing current leaders Justin Timberlake and Imagine Dragons. Next week, Wait For Me could break the 200 plays mark on LastFm and become the only 2nd non-Mariah song to achieve this, 7 weeks #1 runner Feel The Love is the other.

I checked out "Beautiful War" and "Spiritual" and both were good. I think "Spiritual" could be a grower for me. Great to see "Legendary Lovers" debut so high but I am pleasantly surprised to see 1D here. "Taken" is one of the best tracks from their first LP. I love it.

WOW Spiritual i Think is one of the best songs that Katy has released (or hopefully will release as 5th or 6th single)
if only some tracks had some consistency as Spiritual has she couldve had album of the year
Triumphant will never look good on the top of the Last.fm chart
puleeeeeeeeeeeese... it's awesome. Eamon agrees with me. On another note, walking on air will probably make my top 40 soon. It currently ranks 48th with 86 plays.

What a busy week this has become already. With Avril's new album, Katy making impact and of course Kings of Leon being up there, this should be interesting. The #1 position on the album chart is not set in stone at all. All three of them have the potential to make it to the top, the rest will fight for the runner-up positions.
Albums Midweek: (Friday-Monday)
01 02 Katy Lerry - Prism ---------------------------------------1.0000
02 NE Avril Lavigne - Avril Lavigne -------------------------0.8483
03 01 Kings of Leon - Mechanical Bull --------------------0.6772
The singles chart is also interesting. Avril could have the most new entries this week. Gaga makes some steamy heat right now. Venus and Do what you want are impacting. Birdy's Wings sits at #2 with a lot of space to grow. Katy and KOL round out the greatness.
01 NE Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly - Do What You Want
02 NE Birdy - Wings
03 16 Katy Perry - Double Rainbow
04 20 Katy Perry - Walking on Air
05 03 Kings of Leon - Wait For Me
