Billboard Hot 100 (Issue Date: May 26, 2012)

Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye feat Kimbra tops the Billboard Hot 100 for the 5th consecutive week. And the song still has no signs of slowing down year as it still dominates sales and online streaming plus it will soon takeover the airplay chart as well. I could see the song dominating for at least 3 more weeks.

After it debuted at #3 and stayed there for 2 more weeks, Maroon Five's Payphone climbs to #2 and the band will likely get their Hot 100 #1 hit in a few weeks. Meanwhile, the rest of the top 10 is fairly static except for Train's Drive By finally entering the top 10 this week, up a notch from #11 this week. This is the band's 3rd Top 10 hit after Drops of Jupiter (#5) in 2001 and Hey, Soul Sister (#3) in 2010.

Adele's Rumour Has It is stuck at #16 for the 4th straight week and unfortunately the song has likely peaked as it already losing points in airplay and sales. That's a subfar performance after 3 #1 Hits but considering the fact Adele's 21 crossed 9 million sales this week and the song already had various exposures before it was announced as an official single (Glee, topping the triple A chart), the song did decent already. Still I was hoping it make it to the top 10 but well it's just a small "defeat" of Adele's phenomenal era.

Longest staying song Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO holds #44 on its 60th week on the chart. Fellow oldtimer Moves Like Jagger by Maroon Five escapes recurrent status this week as the song also stays put at #49 on its 47th week on the chart.

Here is this week's Billboard Hot 100 as posted at Pulse Music Board
