1. OMG - Usher feat. Will.I.Am
Usher scores his ninth US #1 hit this week with "OMG." That ties him with The Bee Gees and Elton John as the artist with the 10th most #1s. Among male soloists he's fourth (tied with John) behind Elvis Presley (17), Michael Jackson (13), Stevie Wonder (10). The single climbs 5 spots this week, also earning the airplay gainer. This is Will.I.Am's first solo appearance at #1. This is band, the Black Eyed Peas, he hit #1 three times last year.
10. Young Forever - Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson
Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson climb two spots to hit the top 10 with "Young Forever," a re-working of the 1984 single "Forever Young" by Alphaville. This is Jay-Z's third top 10 hit from The Blueprint 3, following "Run This Town" with Rihanna, which hit #2, and "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys, which hit #1. This is the first American top 10 hit for British R&B singer Mr. Hudson, best known abroad for his recent hit "Supernova" with Kanye West.
28. Billionaire - Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars
Gym Class Heroes, who had a major hit a few years ago with "Cupid's Chokehold," see their lead singer go solo with "Billionaire," which enters the top 40 this week, up 13 spots. It features Bruno Mars, who was #1 last week with B.o.B. on "Nothing on You."
29. Bulletproof - La Roux
British synth pop group La Roux is up 6 spots to #29. Nice to see this in the top 30.

I'm extremely heartened by "Young Forever" getting into the Top 10. Maybe Mr Hudson will still get a shot in the US.
Perhaps. I would think "Supernova" could do well here.
