US Chart Roundup: Adele's "Set Fire To The Rain" Is Her Third #1 Single
Over on the Top 200, 21 has now surpassed the Titanic soundtrack's 16-week run in the album chart's peak position. The last LP to spend more time at #1 was the soundtrack to The Bodyguard, which racked up 20 weeks on top between 1992 and 1993.
Back on the Hot 100, Kelly Clarkson earns her second Top 10 hit off Stronger with the album's Greg Kurstin-produced title song, which is up to #8. Who knew that endorsing a Republican presidential candidate who flopped would give her such a career boost? This is the first time since Kelly's 2004 Breakaway album that she's landed back-to-back Top 10 hits.
Jessie J now has her first Top 10 US hit with "Domino" (#10), her current UK chart-topper. Billboard points out that the song is now Max Martin's 36th Top 10 single and Dr. Luke's 29th as writers. Cha-ching!
Elsewhere, my jam "Blackout" by Breathe Carolina (#32) finally cracks the Top 40, The Wanted's debut US single "Glad You Came" leaps up 21 positions to #64 and Foster The People's "Don't Stop (Color On The Walls)" holds steady way down at #97 for a second week.
