Billboard Hot 100, March 6, 2010

1. Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas
(2. Tik Tok - Ke$ha)
(11. Blah Blah Blah - Ke$ha feat. 3Oh!3)

Black Eyed Peas score their third #1 hit this week with "Imma Be," the fourth single from their Grammy Award-winning album, The E.N.D. It the third single from that album to top the chart, following last year's mammoth hits "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling." The last album to produce three #1 hits without the benefit of a special edition re-release was the Black Eyed Peas own member Fergie's solo debut, The Dutchess, which scored #1s with "London Bridge," "Glamorous" and "Big Girls Don't Cry."

The 'Peas knock Ke$ha down to #2 after 9 consecutive weeks at #1. Quite an impressive run for her first single. "Blah Blah Blah" is on the way up, holding at #11 this week.

10. Say Aah - Trey Songz feat. Fabolous

Trey Songz scores his first top 10 hit. The 26 year-old singer has had a couple of top 20 hits, including "Cant Help But Wait," which hit #14 in 2007. This is rapper Fabolous' 7th top 10 hit.

21. Nothin' On You - B.O.B. feat. Bruno Mars

B.O.B. and Bruno Mars have the week's biggest mover in the top 40, up 17 notches to #21. This is their first single.

23. Rude Boy - Rihanna

Rihanna makes a big move, up 41 spots to #23, landing her 18th top 40 hit (she snuck in a Haiti charity single when I wasn't looking, "Stranded," with Jay-Z, Bono and The Edge). It's this week's Airplay Gainer. The single is the third from her fourth album, Rated R, following "Russian Roulette" (#9) and "Hard" (#8). I think it will be the biggest one yet from this album.

34. All The Right Places - OneRepublic

Ryan Tedder's made a big name for himself as a producer and songwriter, responsible for some of the biggest hits of the last few years--"Bleeding Love," "Halo," and "Already Gone," to name a few. So it's almost a shock to realize that "All the Right Places" is only the third top 40 hit for his band, OneRepublic, following their #2 debut, "Apologize," and #12 hit "Stop and Stare." The single climbs 7 spots this week.

OneRepublic's an Energizer Bunny, but so is that Kris Allen single. And I am seriously loving "Rude Boy". Most radio-friendly song on the album.

Yes, I have watched both those singles....very...slow...climb the pop chart. Whataya Want from Me too. "Rude Boy" is great, and I'm really enjoying it now. I think "Fire Bomb" Could be a big pop hit too.
