It's official! There's a new Number One SuperHit at TotalPopularMusic. Adele's SET FIRE TO THE RAIN zooms past the now declining, now former top-tune-topper, Katy Perry's THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY, ending a five-week reign. There's no other song posting gains near enough to threaten Adele, so we expect a multi-week run on top.

Adele adds more than 1200 TotalPlaysMonitored from a week ago to jump 3-1 on the new TPM Super Sixty, now online. This, of course, makes three Number One songs in a row at Total Popular Music for Adele.

Jessie J continues SuperGaining, 8-6, with DOMINO, a true multi-format hit. It's not anywhere near done ascending yet, I suspect. This lady can sing!

David Guetta (with Nicki Minaj) passes David Guetta (with Usher), as TURN ME ON ascends above WITHOUT YOU. Week-to-week it's up 13-9 and should go higher during the coming week on our TPM Daily Dozen. TURN ME ON is this week's Greatest Gainer (+1772).

Also, as first seen on today's Daily Dozen, after what seems like forever in the Twelve, MOVES LIKE JAGGER exits, as Kelly Clarkson's STRONGER (WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU) SuperGains above it and brings Kelly back into Today's Twelve, not too long after MR. KNOW IT ALL exited. (Where did that guy go? We'll tell you later!)

JAGGER, however, is still in today's "Lucky 13" – which, if all works correctly, should appear on your screen as soon as you scroll down a bit.

We'll get to Greatest Gainers and Biggest Losers, and this week's featured new songs, as we do every Sunday in Chart Chat, after our close-up look at the uppermost zone of the new Sixty.

Next the Greatest Gainers and Biggest Losers. Using our criteria of "400 or more" — gains or losses — we have 12 Gainers, and 12 Losers.

Why 400? That's the minimum for a RED highlighter. We also use 400 for Losers for EEOC (Extremely Equal Opportunity Charting).

First the Gainers, of which the first nine are SuperGainers.

This week's TPM Sureshot is from Chris Brown – who, in case you haven't noticed, is back full strength after his "break" from the pop music scene. TURN UP THE MUSIC could be as big as YEAH 3X was for him. We picked that one before most starting playing it. TURN UP THE MUSIC, however, is already showing signs of a fast breakout.

Our Big Breaker is breaking at both chart-influencing components. I tried to feature it last week but, alas, there was no embeddable video/audio available to post here. The All-American Rejects are giving heck to the BEEKEEPERS DAUGHTER.

In the TPM Super Spotlight we have Gotye. If you don't know (I didn't until I researched it), Gotye is Wouter "Wally" De Backer, a Belgian-Australian multi-instrumental musician and singer-songwriter. The name "Gotye" (pronounced "go-tea-yay") is derived from "Gaultier" (or "Gautier" or "Gauthier"), the French translation of "Wouter." He gets a little assistance from Kimbra on SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW.

Kelly Clarkson's MR. KNOW IT ALL enters the TPM Witty Protection Relocation Program (WPRP), relocating from the Super Sixty to TPM Hit Music Recurrents. The WPRP, of course, is intended to help keep songs alive after the music mob writes "hit" on them. I suspect MR. KNOW IT ALL still has a long afterlife ahead, taking the top spot on this week's TPM Recurrents listing.

The recent news about Clear Channel's deal with Madonna to promote her new single and its video on multiple platforms worldwide is a great promotion. But it raises (again) a question in my mind. Is it proper and fair to count the airplay from such a promotion on regular airplay charts?

In the past we've seen similar promotional deals (even if on a lesser scale) result in overnight surges for songs onto airplay charts only to then see them drop off when the deal is done. Should services that monitor radio airplay include the promo plays, or count them instead as commercials. Just an issue that concerns me.

What do you think? (Please feel free to let me know.)

Has anyone else noticed? Cumulus has branded several stations (including one just lately) with an "i" branding (e.g., the new "i97-5" in Tucson), using the slogan "All the Hits" at these stations.

Am I the only one who has checked what they are playing and noticed it is very similar to our own TotalPopularMusic?

"All the Hits" appears to be another way of saying a composite of at least two niches of popular music in one formula. That is, the hits from so-called "Mainstream Top 40" and Hot Adult, with the most emphasis on those that cross between the two genres. Hmmm ...

I'll be back, right here, with an all-new     next Sunday. And the Friday Update with the "Top 20 Now" will mysteriously appear above this column, as it always does on Fridays.

The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress.

And that's the way it is!

New TPMusic Charts are published online Sunday afternoons.

Fridays, we publish a Chart Chat Update edition featuring the latest "Top 20 Now."

Updates and Breaking News are added throughout the week as needed.

Archived past editions of Chart Chat are available upon request.
