1. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
Bravo! Black Eyed Peas break the record for most consecutive weeks at #1 for an artist. "I Gotta Feeling" spends its 8th week at #1. With the 12 weeks "Boom Boom Pow" spent as the immediate previous chart-topper, the group has now spent 20 weeks at the top, breaking the previous 19-week record set by Usher in 2004.
2. Party in the U.S.A. - Miley Cyrus
3. Run This Town - Jay-Z Featuring Rihanna & Kanye West
The Peas' achievement is all the more remarkable when you consider that there was pretty stiff competition for #1 this week. Two major singles were released last week, and they led the sales list by a wide margin. In the end, "I Gotta Feeling's" massive airplay was surely what saved it. Both of these new singles set new high-water marks for their artists. Cyrus lands her fourth and so far biggest top 10 hit, topping the #4 peak of her last top 10 hit, "The Climb."
"Run This Town," at #3, is the highest Jay-Z has ever charted where he is the principal artist, beating the #4 peak of "'03 Bonnie and Clyde." When appearing on others' tracks, Jay-Z has been to #1 on Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker," Beyonce's "Crazy in Love," and Rihanna's "Umbrella." Rihanna, in her first chart appearance since her news-making fight, scores her 11th top 10 hit while Kanye West earns his 11th as well.
7. Down - Jay Sean
9. Good Girls Go Bad - Cobra Starship
10. Hotel Room Service - Pitbull
With two new singles jumping into the top 10 ten, three other tracks fall despite keeping their bullets. "Down" is the airplay gainer again this week.
29. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
Breaking another big record this week is Jason Mraz, whose "I'm Yours" has now spent 70 weeks on the Hot 100--longer than any other single in history. He edges out Leann Rimes' "How Do I Live" and looks good for a few more weeks, possibly extending the record quite a bit.
40. Wanted - Jessie James
I thought this single was over and done and then it goes and jumps 32 spots to #40 and earns this week's digital gainer.

good lord, luck at Miley go! With that song too - i mean it's good, but it's no See You Again! And Jason Mraz. Adore him, but people stop buying that song already!
GOD! Miley. Yucks! I'm not a fan. Seriously, there are better songs out there! People need to get some taste. LOL. Love the fact KOL is still top there though.
Paul - It is no "See You Again," but although I wasn't sold on it at first, it's grown on me. Definitely better than "The Climb." And as for Mr. A to Z, doesn't he sing anything else?
rcLoy - My partner hates the Kings of Leon song, but I like it. He says it reminds him of bad '80s pop like Steve Winwood.
