Week of April 11

Three new songs to the Top 40 this week. Shinedown tries for three No. 1 hits in a row, as the iTunes Session version of "Call Me" enters at No. 35. The band went to the top last year with "Second Chance" (three weeks in May) and "If You Only Knew" (two weeks in December).

Barenaked Ladies debut at No. 39 with "Summertime," their first Top 40 hit since "Too Little, Too Late" went to No. 15 in 2001. (Two songs -- "Another Postcard (Chimpanzees)" in 2003 and "Easy" in 2006 -- fell during the chart's hiatus.) The group's biggest hit on my charts is "It's All Been Done," a No. 1 hit in 1999.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have earned quite a reputation among critics and fans by touring cross-country the past decade. Their version of "This Land Is Your Land," heard over the opening credits of the George Clooney movie "Up in the Air," earned mainstream attention, and now their first Top 40 hit comes with the title track of their new album, "I Learned the Hard Way." It enters this week at No. 40.

At the top of the charts, Michael W. Smith's "I Will Be Your Friend" improves on its first chart run about a decade ago by moving 5-1 this week. Look for some upper-chart action next week as the songs in spots 6-10 are being held back this week by a top five largely dominated by former No. 1 songs.
