Week of November 28

The new charts are up a bit early because of the holidays (Happy Thanksgiving!), so here are the highlights for this week:

  • A year ago, he topped the charts with his posthumous hit "This Is It"; now, Michael Jackson is back with a collaboration with Akon, "Hold My Hand," at No. 35, this week's top debut. "Hold My Hand" is the introductory single from the legendary singer's collection of unreleased material, "Michael."

  • Cher hasn't been in the survey since 2002, when "(This Is) A Song for the Lonely" went to No. 1. She's back this week at No. 36 with the aptly named "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," a ballad from the soundtrack of her new movie "Burlesque," starring Christina Aguilera.

  • Michael Buble earns his first Top 10 hit as "Hollywood" moves 11-9. Buble's biggest hit previously was "Everything," which hit No. 11 in 2007.

  • Bruce Springsteen's vintage track "Spanish Eyes" is off to a good start, up nine to No. 31. It's the week's biggest mover.

  • Country singer Trace Adkins ties his highest chart position to date, as "Between the Rainbows and the Rain" moves 6-3. He went to No. 3 in 2007 with "I Wanna Feel Something."

  • By moving 2-1 with "Just the Way You Are," Bruno Mars becomes the ninth artist this year to reach the top spot with his first chart hit. The other eight? Rie Sinclair & Friends, V.V. Brown, Lady Antebellum, Taio Cruz, The Bird and the Bee, Zac Brown Band, Nikki Yanofsky, and last week's charttopping artist, Brendan James.
