Billboard Hot 100, 9/13/2008

1. Whatever You Like - T.I.

T.I. holds the top spot for a second week. "Whatever You Like" remains #1 on Digital Sales, and jumps up from #20 to #13 on the airplay chart, earning T.I. the Airplay Gainer award this week.

3. So What - Pink

Pink emerges as a potential challenger for #1 next week, bolting up six spots to #3 this week. "So What" is currently #1 at iTunes and is quickly moving up the pop airplay chart. This is the highest a solo Pink single has ever charted, beating the #4 peaks by "Most Girls" in 2000 and "Get the Party Started" in 2001. Pink's best placing ever was her 2001 #1 hit "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim and Mya.

9. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

I'm not sure to what Jason Mraz owes the sudden popularity of his single "I'm Yours." Released in February, this week the single jumps 15 spots to #9, and is this week's Sales Gainer. It's now his biggest hit, eclipsing "The Remedy," which hit #15.

13. Can't Believe It - T-Pain Featuring Lil Wayne
16. Got Money - Lil Wayne Featuring T-Pain

It's a case of "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" in the teens this week, as Lil Wane and T-Pain both appear with singles featuring each other. T-Pain's got the upper hand, rising nine spots this week to #13, while Lil Wayne's "Got Money" is up two to #16.

20. Hot N Cold - Katy Perry

While Katy Perry's recent #1 hit "I Kissed a Girl" is quickly losing steam (it's down from #4 to #10 this week), her new single is poised to supercede it, rising 27 spots to #20 this week, giving the singer her second top 40 and top 20 hit.

32. Miss Independent - Ne-Yo

Ne-Yo scores his 10th top 40 hit with "Miss Independent." No, it's not a remake of Kelly Clarkson's 2003 hit, but a new single.

40. Don't Think I Don't Think About It - Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker, the lead singer from Hootie & The Blowfish, the band that scored a major hit with their 1994 debut Cracked Rear View, lands his first solo top 40 hit this week with "Don't Think I Don't Think About It." Here's the real interesting part: it's a country song! It's currently #5 and rising on the country chart, a rare feat for a black artist.
