Bruno Mars' "Just The Way You Are" falls to #2 on MYX Hit Chart

David Archuleta has reclaimed the top spot on the latest Myx Hit Chart.

His song "Something 'Bout Love" dropped to #2 last week but for this week, it's back on top causing "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars to fall on the runner-up position.

All I thought Justin Bieber's "Love Me" was a potential #1 song, but I was wrong. From #3 last week, it fell two notches down this week, which isn't a good sign of a potential chart-ruler.

Only 6 of the Top 20 songs on MYX Hit Chart for the period October 17 to 22, 2010 are from local artists which isn't something to be happy about.

1 Something 'Bout Love - David Archuleta
2 Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
3 Pakiusap Lang - Parokya Ni Edgar
4 Lakad - Sandwich
5 Love Me - Justin Bieber
6 Mine - Taylor Swift
7 Jeepney
Lovestory - Yeng Constantino
8 Kung Wala Ka - Nikki Gil
9 I Remember The Girl - Christian Bautista
10 2012 - Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj
11 A Year Without Rain - Selena Gomez and the Scene
12 Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
13 Love the Way You Lie - Eminem feat. Rihanna
14 Disney - Tanya Markova
15 Heartbeat - Enrique Iglesias & Nicole Scherzinger
16 Dynamite - Taio Cruz
17 Magic - B.o.B & Rivers Cuomo
18 Lucifer - SHINee
19 What If - Jason Derulo
20 Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida feat. David Guetta

David Archuleta's "Something 'Bout Love" takes top spot on MYX Hit Chart

In just 3 weeks, the song "Something 'Bout Love" by David Archuleta has landed on top of the latest MYX Hit Chart dislodging Taylor Swift's "Mine" which was #1 for 2 weeks.

But Justin Bieber is most likely to steal the #1 spot as his new song "Love Me" makes a debut on the chart this week, landing at a high #7.

Foreign artists are still dominating the MYX Hit Chart as they own 14 slots in the Top 20 while only 6 are from local artists led by Yeng Constantino's "Jeepney Lovestory" at #4.

1 Something 'Bout Love - David Archuleta
2 Mine - Taylor Swift
3 Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
4 Jeepney Lovestory - Yeng Constantino
5 I Remember The Girl - Christian Bautista
6 Lakad - Sandwich
7 Love Me - Justin Bieber
8 2012 (It Ain't the End) - Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj
9 Love the Way You Lie - Eminem feat. Rihanna
10 Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
11 Pakiusap Lang - Parokya Ni Edgar
12 Disney - Tanya Markova
13 What If - Jason Derulo
14 Lucifer - SHINee
15 No Other - Super Junior
16 Somebody to Love (Remix) - Justin Bieber feat. Usher
17 A Year Without Rain - Selena Gomez and the Scene
