Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" hold onto #1 for a 4th week, while Rascal Flatts holds onto #1 on the albums chart. Sean Paul nabs airplay #1 from Mary J. Blige, leaping over Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna. Click below to read the details.
Billboard Hot 1oo:
1. Bad Day - Daniel Powter
"Bad Day" remains #1 for a 4th week. One more week and it will tie Beyonce's "Check On It" for longest-running #1 single of the year.
4. Control Myself - LL Cool J Featuring Jennifer Lopez
Here's an interesting entry. "Control Myself" re-enters the chart this week at #4. !!! Bizarre though it seems, the single debuted 7 weeks ago and peaked the following week at #89 based on airplay. Last week it went on sale at iTunes and other digital outlets, and shoots back into the Hot 100 way up at #4. This isn't the first pairing of LL Cool J and Jennifer Lopez; the pair hit #1 in 2002 with "All I Have," the second single from her This Is Me...Then album. "Control Myself" is LL Cool J's 16th top 40 single, a collection that goes back to 1987's "I Need Love" and includes #3 hits "Hey Lover" from 1995 and "Loungin" from 1996. Jennifer Lopez has had 13 top 40 hits prior to this, the last being the #12 single from last year, "Get Right," the only single from her fourth album, Rebirth, to hit the top 40.
5. Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield
"Unwritten" reaches a new peak at #5, although it is no longer bulleted. "Single" has been selected to be her next U.S. single.
6. What Hurts the Most - Rascal Flatts
After making a great leap to #8 last week based on sales, I thought this might drop like a stone this week, but it actually manages to climb 2 spots to #6.
9. Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Due to sales, "Dani Calfornia" rises 25 spots this week to #9, becoming their 3rd top 10 hit after their biggest, the #2 "Under the Bridge" and the #9 hit "Scar Tissue."
17. Let U Go - Ashley Parker Angel
Former O-Town member Ashley Parker Angel has the highest Hot 100 debut of the week with "let U Go," at #17.
29. Hips Don't Lie - Shakira
Shakira earns the airplay gainer award at #29, rising 4 sports--is this ever going to go on sale? If so, it has #1 potential.
32. S.O.S. (Rescue Me) - Rihanna
Rihanna is still bulleted, but slips 2 spots. If this doesn't go on sale soon, Rihanna's going to have had a major missed opportunity to make some $$$.
Billboard 200:
Rascal Flatts retains #1 for a second week with Me and My Gang, fending off a challenge from Toby Keith's White Trash with Money, which debuts at #2. LL Cool J debuts at #6 with Todd Smith, while Daniel Powter's self-titled debut album debuts at #9.
Radio and Records Top 40:
After 4 weeks at #1 with "Be Without You" Mary J. Blige falls to #4, opening up a close contest for #1 among 3 rising tracks. The winner, by 60 plays, is Sean Paul, who scores his first #1 hit with "Temperature," beating his previous best of #3 with 2003's "Get Busy." Close behind at #2 is Rihanna with "S.O.S.," matching the peak of her first single "Pon Da Replay." "S.O.S." was actually leading "Temperature" for like a day this week, but not enough to be #1. Finally at #3 is Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten," who slides back 1 place despite still being bulleted. Two new entries in the top 10: Shakira, at #7 (up from #12) with "Hips Don't Lie," her third top 10 hit and Stained at #10 with "Right Here," their second top 10.

LL Cool J and J. Lo. I can't think of two people who deserve each other more.
"J Lo" is reflexive of the last 3 letters of "LL Cool J." Perhaps one is the inverse of the other.
