Why am I ravenously hungry this morning? You'd think after yesterday, I'd never want to eat again. But you're not here to hear about that...
1. Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys spend a second week at #1, ending the rapid-fire #1 turnover during the last 7 weeks. Two of Alicia Keys' three other #1 hits topped the charts this time of year--"My Boo" with Usher in 2004 and "No One" in 2007.
2. Bad Romance - Lady GaGa
Lady GaGa jumps up 9 spots to #2 earning this week's digital gainer. The track is currently #1 at iTunes, and I would imagine it has a good shot at #1 next week. This is GaGa's fourth top 5 hit--only "Paparazzi" missed the top 5, peaking at #6.
5. Tik Tok - Kesha
I resisted this song, but it won me over recently. This week its up 5 spots and earns the airplay gainer.
7. Sexy Chick - David Guetta feat. Akon
David Guetta nabs his first US top 10 hit as "Sexy Chick" rises five spots to #7. The dance track was a #1 hit in the UK late this summer. "Sexy Chick" has far outpaced "When Love Takes Over," Guetta's other recent UK #1, which peaked at #76 in the US.
25. Half of My Heart - John Mayer feat. Taylor Swift
40. Two is Better than One - Boys Like Girls feat. Taylor Swift
John Mayer scores a second top 40 hit from his Battles Studies album and Boys Like Girls score their second top 40. No doubt Taylor Swift had something to do with it. How many top 40 hits has she had this year? 14!
Love Story (#4 in January)
White Horse (#29 in March)
You're Not Sorry (#40 in March; had hit #11 in November 2008)
Crazier (#17 in May)
You Belong with Me (#2 in August)
Jump then Fall (#10 in November)
Untouchable (#19 in November)
The Other Side of the Door (#22 in November)
Superstar (#27 in November)
Come in with the Rain (#30 in November)
Forever and Always (#34 in November)
Fifteen (currently #26)
Half of My Heart (currently #25)
Two is Better than One (currently #40)
31. Happy - Leona Lewis
So "Happy's" US chart performance is no longer a complete disaster, as this week the single takes an unexpected climb to #31, up 28 spots, and spending its first week in the top 40. It's cold at top 40 radio now, but with the album out, Leona did some heavy promotion last week, playing The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Dancing with the Stars. After "Bleeding Love" and "Better in Time," this is Lewis' third top 40 hit.

Isn't it weird that Taylor don't have any #1 hits in Billboard Hot 100 but so much Top 40 hits? Love Story is so huge at one point.. oh wait, the BEP phenomenon =/
"You Belong with Me" would legitimately have been a #1 hit had it not been #2 when the #1 song was one of the decade's biggest hits ("I Gotta Feeling").
I hope and have a feeling that Leona might be a steady seller over a period of time rather than a big out the box smash. Happy seems to be sticking around for a while anyway...
