US Chart Roundup: The Return Of No Doubt & The Killers

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is #1 for a seventh week, and is now just seven days shy of tying the reign of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" for longest stretch at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 2012. And I officially can no longer stand the song.

However, Owl City and Carly Rae's "Good Time," which is at #23 in its fourth week on the chart, doesn't quite make me want to slam an axe into the radio yet. That jam, which debuted at #17 three weeks ago, briefly slipped out of the Top 10 on iTunes, but is now back up to #6 there thanks to the song's video premiere the other day.

Elsewhere, Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo's "Let's Go" moves up to #20, while No Doubt's "Settle Down" debuts at #34. This marks the California band's first Top 40 single (and first single in general, really) since their cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life" reached #10 in 2003. Just below No Doubt at #35, Alex Clare cracks the Top 40 with his previous UK hit "Too Close," while The Wanted manage to creak up two positions to #51 with "Chasing The Sun."

On a final note, The Killers' "Runaways" debuts at #78. It's their first first entry on the Hot 100 since 2010 holiday single "Boots" landed at #79.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen *7 weeks*
2. "Payphone" - Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa
3. "Wide Awake" - Katy Perry
4. "Lights" - Ellie Goulding
5. "Somebody That I Used To Know" - Gotye feat. Kimbra
6. "Whistle" - Flo Rida
7. "Where Have You Been" - Rihanna
8. "Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia
9. "Scream" - Usher
10. "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" - Pink

No Doubt's "Settle Down" Is Everything Today

Admit it — you thought "Settle Down," the Diplo-produced lead single from No Doubt's Push And Shove (out September 25), was going to suck, didn't you?

You were wrong.

Here's A Tease Of No Doubt's "Settle Down" Video

If the music playing over top the tease of No Doubt's "Settle Down" video is anything, Gwen Stefani & the other guys who aren't Gwen Stefani will be serving up a Middle Eastern-tinged affair as the first single from upcoming album Push And Shove.

As usual, Gwen snagged Sophie Muller to lens the "Settle Down" vid, which premieres in full next Monday (July 16).



I personally can't believe No Doubt haven't released anything together since their 2003 cover of "It's My Life". I bought that trash on CD single in London back when it was out, and upon a quick check, it appears to be the only No Doubt song I have in my iTunes.

Perhaps I should remedy that. "Underneath It All" was kind of a jam. Whatever happened to Lady Saw, anyway?
