Tom Petty 'Free Falls' Into Singles Chart

Score one for the elder statesmen of rock. Thanks to his appearance at the Super Bowl half time show, two weeks ago, Tom Petty is back in the singles charts with an old hit.

The 57-year-old came out of nowhere to land at number 10 on the most downloaded siglges chart with his classic "Free Fallin’," which bested competition and hot singles from Alicia Keys, Britney Spears and the Jonas Brothers.

Petty’s was the only real movement on the digital top ten. The week saw Flo Rida featuring T. Pain holding his lead on the number 1 slot with "Low," while Yael Naim’s "New Soul," and Rihanna’s "Don’t Stop The Music," controlled the number 2 and 3 slots respectively.

Miley Cyrus, who currently holds the movie Box office crown with her "Best of Both Worlds" 3-D experience film, stayed steady at number 7 with her cut "See You Again."

Over on the album side, surf-pop singer Jack Johnson took his latest, "Sleep Through The Static," to the top of the Billboard album charts. He outsold his nearest competitor, Sheryl Crow’s new entry, "Detours" by almost 3 to 1.

The always sassy Alicia Keys fell to the number 3 slot with "As I Am," while her fellow New Yorker, Lenny Kravitz nabbed number 4 with "It Is Time For A Love Revolution."
The digital singles top ten were:

1 FLO RIDA FEATURING T-PAIN "Low"
2 YAEL NAIM "New Soul"
3 RIHANNA "Don't Stop The Music"
4 SARA BAREILLES "Love Song"
