Last year, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova went to No. 3 in May with "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once." This week, they make their second Top 40 appearance with "Low Rising" at No. 36. It's their first hit credited to their group The Swell Season, from the group's new CD "Strict Joy."
Most of this week's new entries are ballads or midtempo numbers, with one significant exception: Cascada's "Evacuate the Dancefloor" at No. 37. It's the first time Cascada has hit my charts with an original song. The group's previous hits were remakes of Patti Smith's "Because the Night" (No. 10 earlier this year) and Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" (No. 3 in 2007).
Up at the top of the charts, looks like a battle going on for longevity. Uncle Kracker's "Smile" bounces back to No. 1 after taking a back seat to Whitney Houston last week. Whitney's not far behind, with "I Look to You" at No. 2. Meantime, Colbie Caillat's former No. 1, "Fallin' for You," hangs in at No. 3, and three other former No. 1 songs -- Pet Shop Boys' "Did You See Me Coming?" Sean Kingston's "Fire Burning" and Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" -- continue to remain in the Top 10. With all of those songs holding forth, what songs in the lower part of the chart will break through that logjam and become number ones this fall?
