Week of Jan. 10

This week, Rie Sinclair & Friends complete their meteoric run to the top of the charts, as "My Confession" jumps 9-1 in its third chart week. The last song to move that fast to No. 1 was "American Skin (41 Shots)" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, which moved 15-9-1 in April 2001.

At the bottom of the survey, the sole debut this week is "According to You" by chart newcomer Orianthi. She's a singer-guitarist who was slated to play a key role on Michael Jackson's ill-fated "This Is It" tour. She appears in the film based on the rehearsals for that tour, performing her take on Eddie Van Halen's solo in "Beat It." As the title song from that movie slides 34-37, Orianthi makes her debut at No. 40.

As is typical for a chart week at the start of the year, there are a lot of chart hangovers near the bottom of the chart, with seven songs between positions 29 and 39 on their way down. Look for a strong number of debuts next week.
