Four new songs in the Top 40, and lots of action in the Top 10 this week.
In the top 10, three of the year's biggest hits -- all former No. 1 songs -- fall out this week: Uncle Kracker's "Smile," Whitney Houston's "I Look to You" and Colbie Caillat's "Fallin' for You." Replacing them are songs by three of the hottest acts of the 1980s. Houston replaces herself as "Million Dollar Bill," the second single from her latest album, jumps 14-8. Madonna's "Celebration," from her recent career retrospective, pushes up one to No. 10. And the late Dan Fogelberg collects his second posthumous hit (last year's "Sometimes a Song" was his first) as "Diamonds to Dust" moves 12-9. (In the 1980s, Houston had eight top 10 hits, Madonna had 10, and Fogelberg had seven.)
Meanwhile, new to the Top 40 are the latest from Bruce Springsteen, Tim McGraw, Beyoncé and 30 Seconds to Mars. The latter act is an alternative rock group made up of Tomo Milicevic on guitars, Shannon Leto on drums and Jared Leto on guitars and vocals (yes, the same Jared Leto known as an actor in such roles as Jordan Catalano on "My So-Called Life" in the 1990s). 30 Seconds to Mars hit No. 11 a few years back with "From Yesterday." We'll see how "Kings and Queens" fares; this week, it kicks off the countdown at No. 40.
