Of this week's four debuts, one is the second posthumous hit for singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg. "Diamonds to Dust" enters at No. 39, 15 months after Fogelberg went to No. 1 with "Sometimes a Song." Fogelberg, who died of cancer in December 2007, is one of two posthumous acts in this week's Top 40; the other is Wayman Tisdale, the smooth jazz guitarist and former basketball player who died of cancer in May. Tisdale's collaboration with country singer Toby Keith, their remake of Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up," slides down two to No. 24 this week.
At the top of the charts, an interesting battle is shaping up for the next few weeks. Colbie Caillat's "Fallin' for You" becomes her fifth consecutive chart-topper, but right behind her are the fast-moving "Smile" by Uncle Kracker and "I Look to You" by Whitney Houston. Both songs have moved into the top three within four weeks on the Top 40.
Colin Hay, the one-time lead singer of the '80s band Men at Work, notches his first solo hit as "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" enters at No. 40 this week. It's from his new album "American Sunshine."
