1. Fireflies - Owl City
Owl City spends a second week at #1 with "Fireflies." The single continues to sell well, moving another 72,000 copies this week, well ahead of #2.
2. Don't Stop Believin' - Cast of Glee
(8. Don't Stop Believin' - Journey)
The Glee kids continue to rise, up another notch to #2 this week. It's so exciting the see this single really take off in the UK and become a genuine hit. It charted well in the US--#4--but only due to first week sales. After that, it fell quite fast. "Don't Stop Believin'" is also in the UK airplay top 40, a feat it got nowhere near in the US. The Journey version continues to sell well, down a notch to #8.
6. One Shot - JLS
JLS climbs four spots to #6, making this look more and more like it will be their third #1 hit. The single is released Feb. 22.
7. Empire State of Mind II - Alicia Keys
(18. Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys)
(23. Doesn't Mean Anything - Alicia Keys)
Alicia Keys' version of "Empire State of Mind" proves its not just a novelty, climbing 8 spots to #7, becoming her 8th top 10 hit. The original version rebounds a bit, up 3 spots to #18. It just surpasses her last single, "Doesn't Mean Anything," which peaked at #8, and is still hanging around the top 40 at #23.
10. Young Forever - Jay-Z feat. Mr. Hudson
"Young Forever" climbs three spots into the top 10 at #10 this week. This is Jay-Z's 10th top 10 hit, his third from his recent album, The Blueprint 3, following #1 hit "Run This Town (w/Rihanna)" and #2 "Empire State of Mind (w/Alicia Keys)."
17. If We Ever Meet Again - Timbaland feat. Katy Perry
The second single from Timbaland's Shock Value 2 debuts at #17. The single is officially released in 2 weeks, which should give it a shot at the top 10. It's the follow-up to "Morning After Dark (w/Nelly Furtado)" which hit #6. "Morning After Dark" was also the first US single, but it bombed. Second single "Carry Out (w/Justin Timberlake)," seems to be doing better; it's already #15 at top 40 radio.

The success of JLS' one shot is amazing really. Who would have thought? I guess number one depends on how long the Everybody Hurts Haiti cover hangs around... (though JLS are on that too, so would be another number one, though that's not really the point of the record is it?)
