Billboard Hot 100, September 26, 2009

1. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

Black Eyed Peas are still #1 for a 12th week, which makes "I Gotta Feeling" tied with the band's "Boom Boom Pow" for the longest-running #1 hit of the year...and we're up to 24 consecutive weeks at #1 for BEP. Oh, and they're this week's Digital Gainer! Still selling like hot cakes. Amazing. Quite impressive.

2. Down - Jay Sean
3. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus
4. Run This Town - Jay-Z Featuring Rihanna and Kanye West
5. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon

Meanwhile, the would-be challengers to the BEP's throne are all lined up and bulleted. "Down" is this week's Airplay Gainer. Maybe eventually one of them will get to be #1. A strong contender is actually another track by Jay-Z, "Empire State of Mind" (feat. Alicia Keys), which is currently #1 at iTunes.

18. Paparazzi - Lady GaGa

Lady GaGa rockets up 26 spots to #18, scoring her fourth top 40 hit. GaGa has a habit of making big leaps into the top 40: "Just Dance" jumped 49-27 and "Lovegame" jumped 61-27.

19. Be on You - Flo Rida Feat. Ne-Yo

"Be on You" climbs 5 spots, becoming Flo Rida's 6th top 20 hit and Ne-Yo's 11th.

35. Already Gone - Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson climbs 8 notches to #35, nabbing her 11th top 40 hit. It's the third single from her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted. The track is co-written and produced by Ryan Tedder, the OneRepublic frontman who has become one of the hottest producer-songwriters in pop music. His recent works include Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield," Beyonce's "Halo," and Leona Lewis's new single "Happy."

39. Evacuate the Dancefloor - Cascada

Cascada scores their second top 40 hit with "Evacuate the Dancefloor," a recent UK #1. The German dance act hit #10 in 2006 with "Everytime We Touch."

46. Take a Bow - Glee Cast

Glee's back on the air now and if it becomes a hit (and I rather like it), I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the show scores another big hit. "Take a Bow" from last week's episode comes in just under the top 40. In the spring following the airing of the show's pilot, the cast hit #4 with "Don't Stop Believin'."

Hurrah for Glee - their version of Push It had to be seen to be believed! Brilliant tv. Can't wait for the soundtrack :)

Love the fact that Gaga is shooting up, I can't get enough that lady. =)
I Gotta Feeling sounds really fantastic on the club. Bet that gotta do something to the chart performance. That Gaga rip off track is getting more and more local radio airplay these days here, and it's growing on me. Ugh. LOL
