Billboard Hot 100, 1/24/2009

1. Just Dance - Lady GaGa featuring Colby O'Donis
2. Single Ladies - Beyonce

No change at the top this week as Lady GaGa spends a second week at the top with "Just Dance" and Beyonce's former #1 "Single Ladies" holds at #2. "Single Ladies" could potentially reclaim #1. The song is losing steam on the sales chart, but continues to post big gains in airplay. This week "Single Ladies" finally ascends to #1 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, and she's posting huge gains still at top 40. Over on the Mediabase top 40 chart the single is #2 with an amazing 1500 spin gain over the last 7 days.

3. Heartless - Kanye West

Kanye West's "Heartless" finally surpasses the #4 peak it achieved when it debuted 9 weeks ago, jumping two spots to #3 this week and earning the Airplay Gainer award. It matches the #3 peak of West's last single, "Love Lockdown."

10. Gives You Hell - All-American Rejects

The All-American Rejects earn the Sales Gainer this week, propelling their 8-spot jump into the top 10, scoring their third top 10 hit after "Dirty Little Secret" (#9) and "It Ends Tonight" (#8). This is the first single from the band's third album When the World Comes Down.

30. Dead and Gone - T.I. Featuring Justin Timberlake

T.I.'s third Paper Trail single leaps 30 spots to make its top 40 debut at #30. It follow recent #1 hits "Whatever You Like" and "Live Your Life" with Rihanna. This time he has superstar Justin Timberlake as his guest; T.I. appeared as featured performer on Tmberlake's 2006 #1 hit "My Love." This is T.I.'s 21st appearance in the top 40 and Timberlake's 13th.

33. Mad - Ne-Yo

"Mad," Ne-Yo's third single from the Grammy Album of the Year-nominated Year of the Gentleman, makes its top 40 debut at #33, up 16 notches this week. Both of the album's previous singles--"Closer" and "Miss Independent"--peaked at #7. This is Ne-Yo's 11th top 40 hit.

I cringe when I see the number of JT appearances against T.I.'s. If all of those "cameos" count, shouldn't all of Justin's hits with NSync?
