Week of January 30

Two debuts this week. "Mine Is Yours" at No. 39 is the first chart hit for the group Cold War Kids. And Peter Bjorn and John notch their third Top 40 single with "Second Chance" at No. 40, a song that shares the title of the 1989 hit for .38 Special and the hit in late 2009 for Shinedown.

Meanwhile, the week's new No. 1 also has a recycled title. "Hold My Hand" was the title of the breakthrough hit for Hootie and the Blowfish, a No. 1 single in 1994-95. Michael Jackson and Akon take a different composition with the same title to the top this week, Jackson's second posthumous No. 1. ("This Is It" was the first in late 2009.)

Songs to watch for future No. 1 contenders: Cee-Lo Green's "Fool for You" (14-7), Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" (26-19), Melanie Fiona's "Gone and Never Coming Back" (30-26), the Zac Brown Band's "Colder Weather" (35-27).
