49* songs reach top 5



For this week top 100 preview, we take a look at songs which have reached the top 5 of the 987FM Top 20 Charts. This year, a whopping 49 songs reach the top 5 of the charts, but failed to go number one. This is almost twice as much as lastyear number of 28.


Surprisingly,most of the songs here can actually stay longer on the charts, as compared tosome of the number ones. Cascada’s Evacuate the Dancefloor and Kelly Clarkson’s Already Gone both lasted 11 weeks on the top20, despite peaking at 3 and 2 respectively. While other songs like T-Shirt, NextPlane Home, Miss Independent, Good Girls Go Bad all mange to last for 10 weeks. Most significantly, SouljaBoy’s Kiss Me Thru The Phone manageto stay for an amazing 13 weeks on the chart, despite only peaking at 2. On aside note, Simple Plan’s Save You isthe first song on the charts history, which only manage to peak at no.6,despite an amazing run of 11 weeks on the charts, before falling off.

Itmust surely be a surprise for some of us to see songs like Wonder Girl’s Nobody and Taylor Swift’s You Belong With Me unable to top thecharts, despite its huge popularity amongst the Singaporepopulation. While songs like Jay Sean’s Down, Pixie Lott’s Mama Do, Daughtry’s No Surprise also failed to bag numberone.


Meanwhile,Paramore is still searching for their first number one hit in Singapore,they were denied the no.1 spot for a third time, with Decode only peaking at 3. Jonas Brothers also failed to get asingle no.1 this year with Tonight and Paranoid, both flopping. TheirDisney counterpart- Miley Cyrus didn’t fare any better, The Climb also only manage to peak at 2.


These songs, together with last week’s list of number ones, would make up a bulk of this year top 100. Next week, we take a look at list of bubbling unders which failed to make it into the charts and also songs which rocked other charts, but flatters on the Singaporeone. Till then :D
