1. Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas
Black Eyed Peas lead a Hot 100 full of rebounds this week. "Boom Boom Pow" extends its run at #1 to 9 weeks now. That makes it tied in 12th place for the longest stay at #1 this decade.
3. I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) - Pitbull
4. Birthday Sex - Jeremih
With Jamie Foxx and Kid Cudi out the way, Pitbull and Jeremih are the next challengers to Black Eyed Peas' chart dominance, with the former rising 2 spots to #3 and the latter up 5 to #4. While Pitbull has its champions, I'm afraid Jeremih probably has the upper hand.
7. Knock You Down - Keri Hilson Featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo
Keri Hilson jumps 6 spots to #7, earning this week's airplay gainer. It's Hilson's first appearance in the top 10 since her debut Timbaland collaboration "The Way I Are," one of 2007's biggest hits, made it to #3.
9. Fire Burning - Sean Kingston
"Fire Burning" climbs 3 places to hit #9, making it Sean Kingston's third top 10 hit.
10. Lovegame - Lady GaGa
Also scoring a third top 10 hit is Lady GaGa, jumping 12 spots to #10 and earning this week's sales gainer. It follows her recent #1 hits, "Just Dance" and "Poker Face," both of which are still in the top 40 at #22 and #2 respectively.
12. The Climb - Miley Cyrus
13. Don't Trust Me - 3Oh!3
After falling pretty steadily the last few weeks, Miley Cyrus climbs back up 3 spots to #12. 3Oh!3 also rebounds up 1 to #13.
18. Best I Ever Had - Drake
20. Goodbye - Kristinia DeBarge
These two singles make big jumps this week. Canadian rapper Drake, in particular, leaps 42 spots to #18. I'm not sure to what this surge in popularity is owed. Ms. DeBarge climbs 13 places to #20, scoring her first top 20 hit. This follows a 3-spot fall last week.
24. My Life Would Suck Without You - Kelly Clarkson
26. I Do Not Hook Up - Kelly Clarkson
Both of Kelly Clarkson's recent hit singles rebound this week. "My Life Would Suck Without You's" jump is particularly curious, given its age. Strangely, the song is gaining spins at top 40 radio--in fact, at more than twice the rate that new single "I Do Not Hook Up" is. Both tracks are up six spots.
34. Please Don't Leave Me - Pink
Pink climbs back into the top 40 this week, reaching a new peak at #34.

Ah, where do I start. Kelly's airplay on "Suck" is a cool aberration that occurs from time to time where the recurrents kick in before the track drops below #20 on the airplay chart. Normally happens when a song just skyrockets early on, and then slowly drifts back down.
You might be right about Jeremih, but I think there's a window of opportunity with Pitbull. He's higher on Pop airplay and digital sales, and Jeremih is already peaking at Urban radio. Photo finish, maybe?
I posed the question to Mel, but what do you think will be GaGa's next single? Folks are guessing "Paparazzi", but that seems a bit dark for US Pop Radio. I'm guessing "Eh Eh" might actually get released here first. Have you heard anything?
well at least Pink is doing well. Please Don't Leave Me has really grown on me. I think the dance remix version that is floating around somewhere is quite fancy :)
I like "Eh Eh," but it's kind of slight compared to her other songs, so I'm guessing "Paparazzi" will be the fourth US single. That's months away though, since it looks like "Lovegame" is going to be her third straight big hit (maybe not #1, but probably top 5). Plus it has a really cool video.
Interesting thoughts about Kelly. I always assumed "recurrent" airplay was just older songs that get played sometimes, but what you wrote suggests its a more deliberate attempt to feature recent, but not current, hits.
