Comments
The charts are shaken up a bit this week with the addition of streaming data in compiling the Hot 100 chart. However, it had little impact on the top 5 who stay static this week except for the addition of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" at #5. Flo Rida is on the verge of earning another top 10 pop hit with "Wild Ones" surging seven notches to #12. John Mayer just misses the top 40 with his new single "Shadow Days" opening at #42.

Comments
Adele is toppled from #1 after 23 non-consecutive weeks on top. The man who does it is Bruce Springsteen with his 10th trip to #1. The charts are shaken up a bit due to the effects of a 25 cents sale by both Google and Amazon.
That drives Lady Antebellum and Coldplay both back into the top 5 with their latest releases.
