Phoenix's "Lisztomania" is probably the most insanely catchy single in our Top 10. (Seriously, try getting it out of your head once you hear it.) The Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix opening track holds steady at No. 7.

Linkin Park made chart history last week by landing their single, "The Catalyst," at No. 1 in its first week. Well, I guess the guys liked the view at the top because they aren't budging one bit. Enjoying a second week at No. 1, the opening single from A Thousand Suns may be the only thing that keeps Disturbed from grabbing the top spot.
