LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
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.

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."
