Max Speak

Four weeks and counting for the duo with their first #1 single The Con. Tegan and Sara's single ties Brandi Carlile for the third longest running #1 song in 2007 so far, just one week behind the Decemberists and still seven weeks behind the previous chart-topper Serena Ryder, who had eleven nonconsecutive weeks at #1 with Weak In The Knees.
On the album front, The Con the album, hangs tight on top for a third week, placing it as the second longest running #1 CD so far this year. Every other album to make it to #1 lasted only one or two weeks there aside from Brandi's CD The Story, which spent ten weeks on top.

Tori Amos' return with American Doll Posse may have gone relatively unnnoticed but the second single from that CD hits the Top 10 on The Max this week making it 2/2. Big Wheel (70-88) peaked at #7 a few months back and now Bouncing Off Clouds moves 11-8*. Tori's biggest hit is still Taxi Ride from 2003, which is also still her only #1 song.

Serena Ryder makes a significant chart entry this week with the newest release off of her Max-Certified Double Platinum CD If Your Memory Serves You Well. Just Another Day enters the chart at #16 this week. It also marks her third consecutive Top 40 debut which means that all of her songs have debuted inside the Top 40. Good Morning Sunshine entered at #39 back in March and the same week, Weak In The Knees was a #1 debut.+
(+I failed to mention this a couple weeks back when The Con debuted at #1. I mistakenly said that Wonderful by Chantal Kreviazuk was the last song to do so.)

As mentioned last week, the record for the longest charting song was tied by the Dixie Chicks with Not Ready To Make Nice, which has charted now for 74 weeks. Well, this week they break the record by lasting an incredible 75 weeks on the chart as they fall from #87 to #92.
