Week of February 20

Lots of dramatic action this week, with three songs falling out of the Top 10 and plunging 20 positions or more, and two of their successors leaping from outside the Top 20. Meanwhile, Ricky Martin and Tim McGraw double up on this week's chart with debut follow-ups to recent smashes.

Martin's first all-Spanish hit to chart, the radio remix of "Frio" featuring Wisin & Yandel, enters at No. 39. Checking in a couple of notches higher is his recent No. 1 duet with Joss Stone, "The Best Thing About Me Is You."

McGraw also has a hit duet, as his soundtrack contribution to the movie "Country Strong," "Me and Tennessee," enters at No. 40. McGraw's co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow, is his duet partner. His former No. 2 hit, "Felt Good on My Lips," drops 11-29 in its 16th chart week.

Though the top three songs hold this week (and Cee-Lo Green's "Fool for You" earns its third week at No. 1), look for a big chart fight in the weeks to come, as five songs in this week's Top 10 move at least five positions up the survey: Melanie Fiona's "Gone and Never Coming Back" (9-4), James Blunt's "There She Goes Again" (10-5), Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" (15-7), Darius Rucker's "Southern State of Mind" (24-8) and Nikki Yanofsky's live version of "Never Make It on Time" (23-9). Not far from the Top 10 is another big mover, Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz's "(I Can't Make It) Another Day," up 30-15.
