Billboard Hot 100, Oct. 31, 2009

1. Down - Jay Sean Feat. Lil Wayne

Jay Sean returns to #1 this week. It's the first single this year to have an interrupted run at #1. Last year it happened quite a bit: Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love" had 3 turns at #1, as did T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" and "Live Your Life." Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" and Beyonce's "Single Ladies" had two turns at #1 each.

2. Whatcha Say - Jason DeRulo

Jason DeRulo climbs to a new peak at #2. He looks most likely to be the next #1, with Miley Cyrus having lost her bullet this week.

3. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus
4. Run This Town - Jay-Z Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West
5. 3 - Britney Spears

In "Party in the USA," Miley Cyrus makes reference to Jay-Z and Britney songs being on the radio. Well here they are all lined up in a row at numbers 3, 4 and 5. It's like fate, isn't it? I was hoping this would happened.

6. Paparazzi - Lady GaGa

"Paparazzi" rebounds to #6 and is this week's airplay gainer. This looks set to be GaGa's fourth #1 hit at top 40 radio very soon.

8. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
9. Meet Me Halfway - Black Eyed Peas

Black Eyed Peas have back-to-back top 10 hits this week. At #9, "Meet Me Halfway" becomes the third top 10 hit from The E.N.D. It's their 6th top 10 hit.

17. Who Says - John Mayer

John Mayer scores his 8th top 40 hit with "Who Says," first single from his upcoming fourth studio album. Interesting fact: 7 of Mayer's 8 top 40 hits have peaked in the teens. He's never had a top 10 hit.

Yeah, I agree. Odd isn't it, when the UK singles chart is really hot right now? After a year of Black Eyed Peas and Lady GaGa, I'm ready for something else.
