The strong run continues, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis continue going strong, holding on to the #1 spot for a third straight week.  Frank Turner continues to look strong, moving up to #2 this week and giving us a potential #1 threat, while Restore drops just one spot to #3.  Following closely behind is Mirrors, which moves up to #4 and continues to look like a very real threat to get to #1.  We also see Whisper and Sick Of It move up three spots each this week, and both are getting closer to the Top 5 and a potential run at #1.  A bit further down the chart, Hunter Hayes, Carrie Underwood, and Blake Shelton are looking to represent country very well on the charts, with I Want Crazy and See You Again in particular look as though they could be moving up the list pretty steadily and definitely have Top 10 potential.  Finally, Papa Roach and Trapt debut new songs this week.  The different style of Leader Of The Broken Hearts could give it a nice boost to move up the chart in the coming weeks.

This one has been coming for a few weeks now, and Can't Hold Us finally takes its place atop the countdown.  This is a song that is likely to spend a few weeks there, with the next closest songs having already peaked, with both Restore and Radioactive seeming to have peaked.  However, competition could certainly be coming from Frank Turner, who moves up three spots this week into the Top 5.  The Lumineers round out the Top 5, though they also seemed to have peaked.  Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake and 3Oh!3 both move into the Top 10 this week, and JT certainly seems poised to make it two #1 singles this year.  A bit further down the list, Whisper makes a big jump this week, moving up four spots and nearing the Top 10.  This one seems poised to be a surprise hit on the countdown.  The Last Royals and Hanson also continue to make strides up the countdown, and both songs have Top 10 potential.  Finally, Skillet make their first appearance on the countdown this year, and Sick Of It is certainly likely to move up the countdown pretty quickly.

It's finally time for a new #1 song, and Chris August takes the honors this week with his incredible song about saving the marriage, Restore.  And, after four weeks at the top, Imagine Dragons continues to look impressive, slipping just one spot to #2.  Meanwhile, The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons both slip a spot this week, but hold steady in the Top 5 at #3 and #5, respectively.  Can't Hold Us is the other song in the Top 5, and, at #4, it continues on a quick path to the top spot.  There is some competition in the rest of the Top 10, with Hero and Recovery both moving up a spot to #6 and #7 this week, and Taylor Swift cracks the Top 10 this week, with her fun and catchy tune, 22.  In the second half of the list, we see some songs with strong potential as well.  Back To Life looks poised to crack the Top 10, though it could be delayed by what is likely to be a quick rise from another Justin Timberlake hit.  Crystal Vases and Whisper both seem like potential Top 10 or even Top 5 hits as well, and both move up the list a bit this week.  And then there's Hanson.  Yes, that Hanson.  And they debut this week, opening at #18 with Get The Girl Back.  They too have a potential Top 10 hit going here.

Biggest Mover:  Back To Life (Up 4)
Highest Debut: Mirrors (#14)

Imagine Dragons continues strong this week, with Radioactive proving to be one of the year's big hits early on.  This now marks four weeks at #1, and a few more weeks are certainly possible.  Meanwhile, The Lumineers creep a bit closer, moving up to #2 this week, and with Bruno Mars dropping out of the Top 5, it leaves room for Chris August to jump up to #3.  Lover Of The Light holds steady at #4, while Can't Hold Us continues to look like a potentially big hit, moving up two spots to close out the Top 5.  The rest of the Top 10 also sees some interesting movers, with Family Of The Year and Of Monsters & Men both moving up a spot to creep closer to the Top 5.  Meanwhile, Recovery continues to be a surprise hit, making it's first appearance in the Top 10 this week, climbing three spots to #9.  Suit & Tie looks to be on the downswing, but Justin Timberlake is certain to continue to be a strong presence on this list, as Mirrors makes its debut this week at #14 and is sure to move up quickly.  In the bottom half of the list, we see 3Oh!3 with a strong move this week, moving up four spots to #13.  Crystal Vases holds steady at #16 this week, but still looks to be a song that will last on the list for a while. The Dear Hunter debut just behind there at #17, and Whisper has the sound of a song that will make some waves on this list.  And, closing out the list, Snow Patrol makes no progress on this week's Top 20, but The Lightning Strike does manage to stay on the countdown.  This is still one that could go either way, but it's at least sticking around for the moment.
