Hot 100 (Singles):
Sixteen year-old Chris Brown spends a fifth (and likely last) week at #1 with "Run It," his debut single. At #2, Mariah Carey moves up 5 places with "Don't Forget About Us," which also earns this week's Airplay Gainer award. It's likely to win the Sales Gainer award next week, as the single is (finally) now available for purchase at iTunes (where it is #1). If the track reaches #1 next week, it will be Carey's 17th #1 hit, putting her one place behind Elvis' 18 #1 singles. Nelly earns his 11th top 10 hit with "Grillz (Featuring Paul Will, Ali & Gipp)," which moves up 7 places to #4. The Pussycat Dolls reach a new peak with "Stickwitu" at #7 this week, up from #9.
James Blunt performs spectacularly this week with "You're Beautiful;" the track is the highest new entry in the top 40 at #22 (up from #46) and is this week's Sales Gainer winner. Mary J. Blige makes a good jump with "Be With You," up 7 places to #25. Three other tracks enter the top 40: Ne-Yo at #34 with "So Sick," Lil Wayne at #35 with "Fireman," and Rihanna at #38 with "If It's Lovin' That You Want."
Billboard 200 (Albums):
Three new entries dominate the chart. Eminem enters at #1 with Curtain Call - The Hits, his fourth straight #1 album. Lil Wayne's fifth album, Tha Carter II, is his highest charting ever as it debuts at #2. Korn debuts at #3 with their 8th album, See You On The Other Side.
R&R CHR/Pop (Top 40 Airplay):
Chris Brown spends a third week at #1 with "Run It." Tracks 2 - 5 are gaining, but none have enough spins to pose a serious challenge to Brown for #1. Best shots in a few weeks go to The Pussycat Dolls' "Stickwitu" up 1 to #3 this week, and Mariah Carey's "Don't Forget About Us," up 1 to #5 this week. Beyonce scores her fifth top 10 hit this week with "Check On It," which moves up 3 to #9. Biggest mover this week is Fall Out Boy, up 5 to #22 with "Dance, Dance." Only two new entries, neither of which are particularly noteworthy: Staind at #39 with "Right Here" and Lifehouse at #40 with "Blind."
