Jason Mraz Breaks Record

Posted by Sam on 26th August 2009 in Carrie Underwood, Jason Mraz, LeAnn Rimes, Radio Station

Jason Mraz just carved himself into the foundations of history as his song ‘I’m Yours’ is now the longest0running song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in its 51-year history. The singer has officially beaten the likes of LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood. The song is also the only track to reach number 1 on each of the following four radio-based charts, namely Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs, Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40 and Triple A. And it still doesn’t seem like his song will be going anywhere soon and Jason still has the chance to edge out a lead that might prove to be unbeatable. Congratulations!

Lady Gaga Makes History

Posted by Sam on 15th July 2009 in Billboard, Hit Song, Lady GaGa

Lady Gaga is making a big solid mark in music history as the singer is officially the third artist in history to have three number 1 songs from a debut album on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. The only other artists to have accomplished this feat have been Ace of Base and Avril Lavigne. I think it would be great if Lady Gaga could surpass those artists and get four number 1 songs on the chart. And with her career going mighty nicely, I don’t think that’s a feat that’s too far off from getting achieved. I hope she does it.
