Pretty exciting chart this week. A lot of movement within the Top 5, wow! Leona Lewis wrests the #1 slot away from Mariah Carey. Ms. Lewis does this feat as she also makes a splash on the Billboard 200 Album Chart with her debut album "Spirit" at #1. It was fascinating to learn that "Spirit" is only the third album by a solo British born woman to hit the top of the album chart. The previous two were by Olivia Newton-John, the last of which was way back in 1975. As a bonus, Leona also debuts on the Hot 100 with her second single, "Better in Time" at #62.
"No Air" by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown hits another peak as it makes it to the #3 slot. It is the Greatest Gainer in Sales this week.
The big news this week is "Idol Gives Back" TV Special because it sends four songs performed on the show into the chart. The highest debut this week is Daughtry with "What About Now" which starts at a lofty #18. Carrie Underwood's version of "Praying For Time" comes in at #27. If you recall, in last year's Idol Gives Back, Carrie sang "I'll Stand By You" and sent it straight into the Top 10 on the very first week.
Of the three group songs sung by the American Idol Top 8 that episode, the one that hits the chart is the controversial "Shout To The Lord" number which closed the show. Just goes to show that Idols' foray into Christian music seems well-supported by the American majority.
The last hit from this TV special is "Many Rivers to Cross", a Jimmy Cliff song which was sung in a memorably emotional manner by Annie Lennox. This song is the first song by Ms. Lennox on this chart since "No More I Love You's" back in 1995. It comes in at #80.
