Billboard Hot 100, June 12, 2010

1. OMG - Usher feat. Will.I.Am
2. California Gurls - Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg

Usher spends a fourth week #1, but "California Gurls" returns to #2. Surely Usher's days at #1 are numbered.

3. Airplanes - B.o.B. feat. Hayley Williams

B.o.B. slides back a notch to #3 but earns the Airplay Gainer. Still a possible future #1.

4. Your Love Is My Drug - Ke$ha
6. Alejandro - Lady GaGa

Last week I was so excited that "Alejandro" had climbed over "Your Love Is My Drug," but this week, Ke$ha gets her revenge, climbing three spots to #4 while "Alejandro" stagnates at #6 and loses its bullet. I'm shocked that happened. The song is still climbing at radio. GaGa's got a secret weapon though--the video will be released on Monday, and like her previous ones, is expected to be a knockout. Apparently this one will be black-and-white, military-themed and homoerotic. Sounds like fun!

8. Bulletproof - La Roux

La Roux scores a top 10 hit! "Bulletproof" climbs 6 notches to #8.

20. Poker Face - Glee Cast
(23. Telephone - Lady GaGa feat. Beyonce)
(30. Bad Romance - Lady GaGa)

The Glee Cast scores its 14th #1 hit doing Lady GaGa's "Poker Face." The ballad arrangement--a duet between Lea Michele and Idina Menzel--has been one of the season's musical highlights, and the charts respond in kind, giving Glee its third top 20 hit.

The song's appearance also means that Lady GaGa has four songs in the top 40--her 3 proper plus this remake.

24. Beautiful Day - Lee DeWyze

Lee DeWyze won American Idol, beating the girl that I thought was going to win. Now we get to see how he fares in the music world. So far, not so hot, as this tepid remake of U2's "Beautiful Day" is seriously karaoke.

28. Impossible - Shontelle

Barbadian R&D singer Shontelle scores her first top 40 hit as "Impossible" climbs 13 notches this week.

Black-and-white, military-themed and homoerotic? Homoerotic should be enough to garner my attention, well, there's nothing from GaGa that I don't like. Haha. Btw have you see this b4? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vEStDd6HVY

That's cool. I checked out some of that group's other videos and then visited their website. They're an interesting duo.
