Here in Washington, DC we're preparing for the "snowpocalypse." We're supposed to get between 16 and 24 inches of snow this weekend, starting tomorrow around noon. That's record snowfall, and trust me, we don't handle snow here well, so it's going to be chaos.
1. Tik Tok - Ke$ha
Ke$ha leads the Hot 100 for a 7th consecutive week with "Tik Tok." That's longer than any hits spent at #1 last year except for the two Black Eyed Peas #1s.
2. Bad Romance - Lady GaGa
Speaking of 7 weeks, Lady GaGa gets her 7th week at #2 with "Bad Romance." She's getting close to being one of the longest-running #2 hits. The record is 10 weeks, shared by Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and Missy Elliott's "Work It." It's bulleted this week, perhaps due to her appearance at the Grammys, which affected quite a few songs.
3. Bed Rock - Young Money feat. Lloyd
Young Money climbs another notch to #3 and is this week's airplay gainer.
4. Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas
"Imma Be," Black Eyed Peas' fourth single from The E.N.D. makes a big jump into the top 10, up 7 spots. It already outcharts their last top 10 hit, "Meet Me Halfway," which peaked at #7. This is the group's 7th top 10 hit. (Lots of 7s this week, must be a lucky week). BEP's performed this song, along with "I Gotta Feeling," at the Grammys Sunday.
8. Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
Lady Antebellum jumps 10 spots to re-enter the top 10 at #8. Their new album debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 this week with over 481,000 copies sold, the biggest first week sales of a country album since Taylor Swift's Fearless, which sold nearly 600,000 in its first week. They also performed at the Grammys.
11. Carry Out - Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake
13. Hallelujah - Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris feat. Charlie Sexton
It's been almost 4 years now since Justin Timberlake released an album, yet he remains a potent force in popular music. This week he's got two singles on the verge of being top 10 hits. At #11 is the latest single from Timbaland's "Shock Value," which proves to be a much bigger hit than the album's first two releases, "Morning After Dark" with Nelly Furtado and "Say Something" with Drake, which both missed the top 40. It climbs 4 spots this week.
At #13 is the biggest new entry in the top 40, climbing 35 spots and earning this week's digital gainer. It's a charity release from the Hope for Haiti album. This is the same song that Alexandra Burke remade and released as her X Factor victory single just over a year ago.
14. In My Head - Jason DeRulo
Big move for Jason DeRulo, up 14 spots to #14 this week with his second hit single.
31. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
The Record of the Year! It climbs 5 spots to #31. It has now appeared on the Hot 100 for 53 weeks.

I'm really getting addicted to that Lady A song. It deserves it's crossover success. And it's nice to see Matt Morris on the chart even as a "with" type person.
Wrap up warm in the snow there sir!
I'm afraid I don't know who Matt Morris is. I'll look him up.
Thanks. The latest says it's supposed to start at 8 a.m. now.
Don't you think Imma Be sounds too similar to Beowulf's Diva?
I am really gettin' sick of that Ke"dolla-sign"ha, 7 effin' weeks~ Gaga deserves to be #1~
Need You Now is brilliant. Country is not really my kinda genre but that song is just brilliant.
Beowulf!! Tell us how you really feel about her!
Actually, I don't think they're too similar. "Imma Be's" got more of a beat to it, especially near the end, which is the part I like best.
