7. This week's top 50:

The Fray shot to number one last week with "You Found Me" and that
is where they remain this week. In fact, after a real
action-packed top 5 last week, this week it slows right down
with the top 5 remains unchanged except for the number 4 and 5
songs swapping spots.

Last week's highest new entry, Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck
Without You" is one of two new arrivals into the top 10 this week.
That single bullets up 10 spots to come in at number 6, giving
Kelly her 7th top 10 hit in Australia.

The second new comer into the top 10 is American singer and
song-writer, Taylor Swift. She's enjoying good airplay support
with "Love Story" which climbs from number 14 to 8 this week.
Meanwhile she's also just gone top 10 on the albums chart with
"Fearless" bulleting up from number 21 to 8.

Leaving the top 10 is Beyonce's recent top 5 smash "Single Ladies"
and the top 3 hit "Live Your Life" by T.I. and Rihanna.

One of this week's biggest movers is Lily Allen's "The Fear", which
is the first single to be lifted off her "It's Not Me, It's You"
album. "The Fear" bullets from number 28 to 18, while in the UK,
the single has just gone straight to number one this week.

While last week's new entries by Global Deejays and Saving Abel
move down the chart this week, Ladyhawke's "My Delirium" is
shaping up to be a big seller, bulleting up 12 spots from number
49 to 37 this week.

Three new entries into this week's top 50, with 2 coming from
Aussie artists.
