Only one newcomer to the Top 40 this week, but it's an interesting collaboration between two hot groups: country-pop trio Lady Antebellum and pop/rock combo Maroon 5. "Out of Goodbyes," at No. 40, is Maroon 5's follow-up to "Misery," a No. 1 from last year, while Lady Antebellum is coming off back-to-back No. 1 hits in "Need You Now" and "Our Kind of Love."
Though the bottom of the chart is moving slowly this week, that's not the case with the Top 10. Five songs leap into the upper reaches of the charts, led by Huey Lewis and the News' "Just the One (I've Been Looking For)," moving 13-6 to become the group's first Top 10 hit since 1991. That's when "It Hit Me Like a Hammer" went to No. 10. Huey Lewis and the News went to No. 1 five times in the 1980s, with the biggest hit being their first, "Do You Believe in Love?" (No. 1 for four weeks in 1982).
By moving 11-7 with "Never Too Old (To Hold Somebody)," Elton John adds Leon Russell to his long streak of hit duet partners. Elton has gone to the Top 10 in collaborations with George Michael, P.M. Dawn, Bruce Roberts, Collective Soul, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Kiki Dee, Nik Kershaw and Lady GaGa. (He's also gone Top 20 with Eric Clapton, Jennifer Rush and LeAnn Rimes.)
Bruce Springsteen's "Spanish Eyes," moving 12-8, becomes his second ocular Top 10. "Sad Eyes" went to No. 4 in 1999.
"Teenage Dream" is the first Top 10 hit for the Glee Cast, moving 14-9. Katy Perry's original spent nine weeks in the Top 10 from August through October, with three of those weeks at No. 1.
And Neon Trees puts two songs in the Top 10, with "Wish List" moving 20-10 to join the former No. 1 "Animal," now at No. 2. The last artist to score concurrent Top 10 hits was Cee-Lo Green, with "Forget You" and his collaboration with Fantasia, "The Thrill Is Gone," in November.
