Hot New Singles

Comments

Justin Timberlake scores a 3rd week at the top with "SexyBack," but hot songs are starting to nip at his heels. Nickelback is back in the top 5 with "Far Away," the single that has brought their album All the Right Reasons back to the top 10 after almost an entire year on the album chart. Beyonce has a very strong debut at #20 with the much-talked-about single "Ring the Alarm." However, radio support is weak, so it will be interesting to see if it can climb any higher.
