Max Speak

After all of the events of last week, this week's chart might seem like a recovery but there's still a lot talk about.
With the Arcade Fire advancing to #1, this week is the third week in a row with a new #1 song. When Regina Spektor fell out of #1, her song Fidelidy was the first since Jewel's Intuition back in 2003 to spend only one week at #1. To find three new #1s in a row, we'd have to go alittle further back to January 2003, when Christina Aguilera, Holly McNarland and Tori Amos each hit #1 week after week. Tori would go on to spend two weeks on top with Taxi Ride. It is unknown whether the Arcade Fire will remain at #1 next week but in the event they don't, I will research further back to see if there have ever been 4 new #1s in 4 weeks.

This week, David Usher extends his record as the male artist with the most #1 albums as his fifth solo CD Strange Birds enters at #1. David's first album to make The Max Charts was in 2001 with Morning Orbit coming in on top. Little Songs got a late purchase by me in 2003 but it still got a #1 debut followed by Hallucinations a few months later. In 2005, If God Had Curves entered at the top as well.

Sheryl Crow makes a surprise move upward with her latest single Try Not To Remember, a Grammy nominated song from last year's movie Home Of The Brave. The track marks Sheryl's first time in the Top 10 since Good Is Good hit #5 in late 2005 but we'd have to go back to 2004 to find a song that did hit #4 and that was Light In Your Eyes. Sheryl's biggest year on The Max though has been in 2003 when she started and ended the year at #1 with Picture and The First Cut Is The Deepest respectively.

This week, both the Basement Jaxx and Blue October each follow up two Max Platinum singles with a Gold certification. Hey U and X Amount Of Words both receive the title along with Sondre Lerche's Say It All.
