Hey all and welcome to this week's Official Buzzjack Hot 40, the chart made up of sales, airplay and the all-important multichart, giving an all round accurate view of the tunes Buzzjackers, and indeed the rest of the country, have been enjoying this week. Lady GaGa made it a 5th week at the top last week but faced tough competition this week. Here is how the chart panned out...

As you can see, there was strong competition from Iyaz and Owl City this week for the top spot, but as Buzzjackers have taken a while to warm to Replay, and Fireflies is currently just picking up on the airwaves, Lady GaGa clinches a further week at number one. She is now joint with I Gotta Feeling for weeks at number one, and only has herself to beat with Poker Face, which spent 7 non-consecutive weeks at the top last year. Owl City's Fireflies gets a record of its own this week, with the highest new entry on this chart (which has been compiled since the beginning of 2009) to date, thanks to its early addition to iTunes. Its debut at #6 beats Joe McElderry who entered the Christmas chart at #9 before climbing to #2.

 

Four more new entries this week from the cast of Glee at #18, Plan B at #29, JLS at #32 and Marina and the Diamonds at #39. Also, Telephone, the new single from Lady GaGa and Beyonce, after a brief spell at the end of the last year due to multichart alone, re-enters the chart this week now that its official release is nearing. Finally Alicia Keys sets a new record for most songs on the top 40 for a single (living :kink: ) artist with 3 songs charting this week.

 

A few Youtube videos coming up, and other than that, have a good week everyone. Tom will be back to bring you next week's chart.

Thanks Peter :cheer: Tipping Glee for a big climb next week, it's only just getting any airplay...

Really? I know it's been playlisted by Radio 1 but I didn't think it would get a huge amount of airplay. Although it will climb the multichart again I'm sure so it's almost certain to be top ten regardless.

 

I'd say it's between Iyaz and Owl City next week, and possibly Alexandra.

I don't see Glee going to number one, but I think a lot of stations will follow the example of R1 and add it, top 5 contender I'd say. I think Owl City will do it on the Hot 40 this week, but Iyaz probably still has sales in the bag (sadly) :(

Owl will remain #2 on sales, and increase airplay (is he above Iyaz on airplay yet?) and probably go up on the multichart, so I think he'll be #1 here
