Chart Beat Thursday: Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Marc Cohn
Katy Perry makes it two top 20 debuts in-a-row on the Billboard Hot 100, as "Teenage Dream" follows up her six-week No. 1 "California Gurls."
20 IS A ‘TEENAGE’ NUMBER: chatted live yesterday with fans on billboard.com, Maroon 5 continues to make news in this site’s charts section, as well.
The band collects its eighth Adult Pop Songs top 10, as “Misery” charges 11-8 with Greatest Gainer honors for the fifth consecutive week. The band had not totaled five such awards with a title since “This Love” took the trophy five times in 2004.
Among groups in the chart’s 14-year history, only Goo Goo Dolls (13), matchbox twenty (12) and Nickelback (11) have tallied more top 10s than Maroon 5. Train has also notched eight top 10s.
“Misery” concurrently debuts on Adult Contemporary at No. 30 and becomes the group’s first top 20 entry on Pop Songs (23-20) since 2007.
“Misery” introduces Maroon 5’s third studio album, “Hands All Over,” due Sept. 21. Ahead of beginning the first leg of its North American tour tomorrow night (July 30) in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the group previewed the new release, and revisited its catalog, Tuesday (July 27) at the Beacon Theatre in New York. The concert was broadcast live without commercial interruptions exclusively on Fuse.
