1. Irreplaceable - Beyonce
"Irreplaceable" hits the magic 10 week mark this week, making the single Beyonce's longest solo stay at the top. One more week at it will tie her former group's 11-week run for "Independent Women." Each week it amazes me this single stays at the top, and an 11th week looks very unlikely. Still, it's possible.
2. Say It Right - Nelly Furtado
If Nelly Furtado's going to score a second #1 hit, next week's the week. "Say It Right" eclipsed "Irreplaceable" at top 40 airplay this week, but has Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around...Comes Around" hot on its heels, and I expect him to get a sales boost after this Sunday's Grammy Awards performance.
5. The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani (featuring Akon)
"The Sweet Escape" rises a notch this week, surpassing last single "Wind It Up's" peak at #6. This is Stefani's second solo top 5 hit, following her #1 "Hollaback Girl."
11. What Goes Around...Comes Around - Justin Timberlake
Justin takes a 1-notch dip this week, but keeps his bullet. This single is still likely to be a huge hit, if not a third #1 single for him. If he cleans up at the Grammys it will unstoppable.
14. Here (In Your Arms) - HelloGoodbye
This is a very cool song, a great blend of synth, rock, and pop influences. It's up 5 spots this week. The band formed in Huntington Beach, California and appeared on MTV The Read World in Austin.
15. Cupid's Chokehold - Gym Class Heroes Featuring Patrick Slump
This gets the Airplay Gainer award this week, rising 13 notches from #28. I listened to the iTunes clip and was not impressed.
29. Lost Without U - Robin Thicke
Growing Pains actor Alan Thicke's son Robin has his first top 40 hit in "Lost Without U," rising 8 spots this week to #29.
31. Glamorous - Fergie (featuring Will.I.Am)
Fergie's third solo hit breaks into the top 40 this week, rising 20 notches. Time will tell if it will be another big hit for her, but it's not a bad song--mellower than it's predecessors, with another spelling lesson too.
32. If Anyone Cared - Nickelback
Sorry Nickelback, I don't.
40. Year 3000 - Jonas Brothers
Radio Disney flexes some chart muscle here, sending young band Jonas Brothers straight into the top 40 with this week's highest hot 100 debut. It's a remake of "Year 3000," a #2 hit in the U.K. for Busted in 2003.
