Not a lot of excitement on the Hot 100 this week...
1. I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry
Fourth week at the top for Katy Perry and "I Kissed a Girl." This is quickly becoming the summer hit of 2008.
4. Forever - Chris Brown
Chris Brown earns the sales gainer and a new peak at #4 for "Forever," becoming his fifth top 5 single.
6. Pocketful of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
"Pocketful of Sunshine" appears to be the single that just won't die. In its 22nd week in the Hot 100 it's up a spot to #6. It's fallen three times now and recovered, last time reaching its highest peak at #5. It's still nowhere near the longevity of "Unwritten," which spent 42 weeks on the Hot 100.
8. A Milli - Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne follows recent #1 hit "Lollipop" with "A Milli," which appears in the top 10 for the first time this week (up 3 spots). Everyone says he's the greatest thing in rap right now, but I'm not convinced. I don't see anything special about this single.
9. 7 Things - Miley Cyrus
"7 Things" climbs a spot this week, making it Miley Cyrus's highest-charting single to date, having now surpassed the #10 peak of "See You Again." The single is doing very well in sales, even if its top 40 airplay appears to be flagging (it's still gaining, but so slowly that it's actually been dropping on the chart lately, down to #24 on R&R this week).
11. Leavin' - Jesse McCartney
Speaking of the Radio & Records chart, this young man has his first #1 hit on it this week with "Leavin." On the Hot 100, it's up two and this week's airplay gainer at #11.
17. Closer - Ne-Yo
I recently proclaimed this single a flop in America. Apparently that was a mistake; after appearing to peak at #25 a few weeks ago, the single has performed a marvelous turnaround, climbing 10 spots to #17 this week. Top 40 airplay has finally begun to look up as well. "Closer" was recently a #1 hit in the UK.
