Billboard Hot 100, January 16, 2010

1. Tik Tok - Ke$ha
2. Bad Romance - Lady GaGa
3. Replay - Iyaz

Ke$ha holds the #1 spot for a third week, where she's been since the beginning of the year. After resisting this song, I'm warming to it now. She holds off Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance," which spends a fourth week a #2, up one spot this week. She pushes down Iyaz's "Replay" to #3.

Over on the Top 40 Mainstream chart, GaGa bumps Iyaz from #1 this week, giving the Lady her fifth #1 pop hit. That puts her in a five-way tie for the second most #1 hits on the chart, an honor she holds with Pink, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Avril Lavigne. Only Mariah Carey has had more #1s--six of them--since this chart began in mid 1992.

9. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
17. You Belong with Me - Taylor Swift

Black Eyed Peas re-enters the top 10 at #9, up 5 places. The end of the year gives a bump to several of the year's biggest hits, no doubt to enhanced airplay on year-end wrap ups as well as consumers looking back and snapping up any favorites they may have overlooked. This was definitely the year's biggest hit, so it's no surprise to see it here. Also getting a boost is Taylor Swift, who climbs two spots and scores this week's airplay gainer. Airplay Gainer! For a song that was a hit at the end of the summer! That's quite crazy.

Overall, the top 10 is looked a bit ragged this week, as most of the singles in it have been around for quite awhile now. Seven of the top 10 hits have appeared on the Hot 100 for over 20 weeks, with "I Gotta Feeling" being the oldest at 30 weeks. The youngest hit in the top 10 is Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance," a mere 10 weeks old.

18. Drop the World - Lil Wayne feat. Eminem

Sneaking in during a week where everyone is looking back to last year is the new single from Lil Wayne featuring superpower rapper Eminem. I haven't heard this song, so I can't say much more about it.

25. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon

Another of the year's biggest hits makes a rebound, up 10 spots this week and this week's Digital Gainer.

Next week: Expect Ke$ha to make a big splash in the top 10 with "Blah Blah," a track from her album out this week.

NOOOOOOO! You can not like that horrible Ke(*&*&^*^%$#%ha song. It is proof of how bad American popular music is. I cant believe it has been number one for three weeks.

I totally agree with Cody. One week is enough. LOL. Please move aside for Gaga. Haha

Cody said...

Lol absolutely rcLoy. Gaga has been at number two for over a month. I hope she goes to number one soon, even if it is just for a week.

i'm a very belated convert to that Kesha song. it's quite dreadful but so addictive and moreish I can resist no longer!!

Cody said...

It is very catchy, i have to turn it off everytime it comes on cause i know i will be humming it all day. Although catchy, it is a very tacky and tasteless song.

Hi Cody! Sorry you don't like Ke$ha, but I think Ke$ha is here to stay, for the time being. Her new single, "Blah Blah Blah," is #1 at iTunes, so even though it doesn't have airplay support (yet), I expect it will debut in the top 10 next week. And Tik Tok is still outselling Bad Romance, so I think it will be #1 again. I agree Ke$ha is that dreadful but addictive combination.

Cody said...

Yes ww_adh sadly i saw that lol. She has another song in the itunes top 10 besides "TiK Tok" and "Blah Blah Blah." I just hope her 15 minutes of fame "Tik Tok"s right off the clock. Your probally right though she will probally be around for awhile. I saw her perform on Conan O'Brian and Ellen Degeneres and her live performances are even worse then i thought it would be.
