Lewis Top 30 (5-31-09): Agnes Debuts At #1

This week's issue of the Lewis Top 30 sees the debut of "Release Me" by Swedish singer Agnes at the top, becoming the first ever #1 debut in the chart's second week. Last week's #1, "Good Girls Go Bad" by Cobra Starship falls to #2, while "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks slips from #2 to #5.

Another big top 10 debut comes from electropop singer Little Boots, whose first single "New In Town" enters the chart at #7.

This week's chart saw both huge drops and huge rises. "Don't Stop Believin'" from Glee plummets from last week's placing of #3 to #28. Both "Fire Burning" from Sean Kingston and "No Boundaries" from Kris Allen fall out of the top 10, making room for The Saturdays and David Guetta, who zoom into the top tier of the chart, hitting #4 and #6 respectively.

This week's chart also introduces a new and improved points system. The points determine a song's placing on the Lewis Top 30 and come from song plays and popularity points ("pop points"). Further explanation can be found at the site.

Here is the Top 10:
1. Release Me - Agnes
2. Good Girls Go Bad - Cobra Starship
3. LoveGame - Lady GaGa
4. Work - The Saturdays
5. Battlefield - Jordin Sparks
6. When Love Takes Over - David Guetta and Kelly Rowland
7. New In Town - Little Boots
8. Please Don't Leave Me - Pink
9. Evacuate The Dancefloor - Cascada
10. Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas
