1. Lollipop - Lil Wayne Featuring Static Major
Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" snaps a 5th week at the top, inching above Leona Lewis to become the year's second-longest stay at #1 after Flo Rida's 10 weeks with "Low." Please please let this be the last week.
2. Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Well isn't this amazing. Top 10, #3, now #2. Next week's chart will be the last before the release of the Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends album, meaning that next week will be last week that the Billboard Hot 100 will register iTunes album pre-orders as "Viva La Vida" single sales. Apparently the album's been pre-ordered in record numbers. If it keeps up, "Viva La Vida" could be the first single propelled to #1 because it was offered basically as a down payment on an album. It would also give Coldplay their first #1 single in either the U.S. or the UK. That would be pretty cool.
9. Pocketful of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
Natasha Bedingfield rebounds into the top 10 this week. Along with Coldplay and Leona Lewis at #3 with "Bleeding Love," Brits make up 3 of the top 10 spots in the U.S., a turnaround from the relative lack of UK-based acts making it in the States of late.
31. When I Grow Up - The Pussycat Dolls
So Nicole Scherzinger's solo career didn't work out--that album of hers apparently shelved indefinitely now. Back with the Dolls, she's able to do what she failed to do alone--score a top 40 hit. In fact, neither of her solo singles, "Whatever U Like" or "Baby Love" cracked the Hot 100 at all. Pity. The first had a cool sound, but lacked a good hook (or melody frankly). The latter was more melodic, but a bit bland. This is the group's 6th top 40 hit, their biggest being their debut, "Don't Cha," now a classic '00s pop track, which hit #2 in the summer of 2005.
