Can I call it or can I call it? I said a couple of weeks back that Dane Rumble could seriously make the top five here if he builds up enough momentum and this week he trades places with Jason DeRulo and locks in number five. Even though Cruel isn't my favourite song or anything, I'm still sort of proud that a local artist (that isn't Stan Walker) has managed to make it all the way up there. The last time this happened, Gin was making a move near the top of the charts with Oh My and even though I would've loved for her to have a number one single, it didn't happen. This time around, Rumble is in an interesting position -- the songs ahead of him are majorly overplayed and he definitely has the opportunity to take them down. I'm interested to hear his reaction to all this and since I'm interviewing him today, I guess I'll find out firsthand.

The highest debut on the singles chart is Ke$ha at number seven with Blah Blah Blah. The song is a slab of bratty pop that is basically about how boys talk too much and she just wants to get some -- it also contains the lines "just turn around boy, let me hit that/don't be a little bitch with your chit chat/just show me where your dick's at." Interesting, since most of the other songs in the top 10 are all about failed relationships. The song also features 3OH!3, a band that needn't be here but here they are, and it was produced by Benny Blanco, the 21-year-old who has worked closely with Dr. Luke. In my opinion, Ke$ha should've gone with Backstabber as the official second single but I guess that's not going to happen. Too bad! Blah Blah Blah doesn't have a video yet so I have the feeling that it could lose momentum pretty quickly but Ke$ha's album has only been out for a week and I can't be right about everything.

Speaking of her album, it debuts at number six this week. It's still not enough to even dent the artists that have been dominating the top five for the past few weeks, but surely The Squeakquel can't stay at number three for too much longer. I mean, come on people. Vampire Weekend also have a new album in the chart at it debuts impressively at number 12 - I never would've expected it to chart so high but they've been promoting it hard with all those posters around town of the girl with the polo shirt.

The albums and singles charts are also littered with Big Day Out artists that have either reentered the chart or climbed a few spots. Muse, The Temper Trap and Ladyhawke all make moves this week but don't expect them to hang around too much longer. Speaking of not hanging around, Ivy Lies who debuted at number 20 a couple of weeks ago and then lingered at 25 last week have completely disappeared from the singles chart. It's not a huge surprise but I'm sure that won't be the last we hear of them. Also, for some reason, John Mayer reenters the album chart at number 39. I finally got around to listening to that track he has with Taylor Swift, and man, what a let down. Quality of tweets > quality of music.

Apart from the aforementioned few, there are no new releases and so far my prediction that Rihanna will storm the chart hasn't exactly blossomed. I've still got faith in that one though. One thing that is new is the video for Timbaland and Katy Perry's If We Ever Meet Again -- someone please explain to me why the music exec's up at Mosley's label decided to let this one fly. Maybe it has something to do with Katy Perry's get-up. I don't know.
