If you look at the top five this week it seems the chart is stagnating. There is no action at all. However, a bit further down its obvious there's a huge movement as the summer season kicks off. After just six weeks on the chart, "Waking Up In Vegas" becomes Katy Perry's third top 10 smash this week. The Fox TV show Glee has generated a top 20 return for Journey's classic "Don't Stop Believin'" in singing group form. This year's American Idol champion Kris Allen enters the chart at #26 with his first single "No Boundaries."

Eminem returns strongly with the biggest single sales week yet this year, in excess of 600,000 copies of Relapse. It is a very big week in general for new releases, as seven of this week's top ten are debuting on the chart.

Beyonce edges in to the top five this week with her hit single "Halo." 3OH!3 and Miley Cyrus both take big jumps into the top ten looking to challenge for the top of the chart in a few weeks.
