Billboard Hot 100, June 19, 2010

1. California Gurls - Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg

Katy Perry ascends to the top of the Hot 100, scoring her second #1 hit with "California Gurls." The song is the first single from her forthcoming new album, Teenage Dream. This is Snoop Dogg's third #1 hit, second as a featured artist following his appearance on Akon's 2006 hit "I Wanna Love You."

"California Gurls" is the third #1 hit that references the great state of California after the Eagles' "Hotel California" and 2Pac's "California Love." Among states, that puts California on even footing with Georgia as the states with the most #1 hits to drop their names. Only one other states--Texas--ever got a mention, as only seven songs have ever referenced a state by name. Some, like Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" reference a state (New York in the case), but "New York" is not in that's song title. Here are the "stately" #1s:

1. The Yellow Rose of Texas - Mitch Miller (1955)
2. Georgia on My Mind - Ray Charles (1960)
3. The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia - Vicki Lawrence (1973)
4. Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips (1973)
5. Hotel California - Eagles (1977)
6. California Love - 2Pac feat. Dr. Dre & Roger Troutman (a double A-side #1 with "How Do U Want It") (1996)
7. California Gurls - Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg (2010)

2. OMG - Usher feat. Will.I.Am

"OMG" earns this week's airplay gainer, but it's not enough to keep the single from falling to #2.

5. Billionaire - Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars

Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes sees his "Billionaire" become his first solo top 10 hit as it climbs six spots to #5. "Billionaire" is one spot shy of the #4 peak of "Cupid's Chokehold," the Gym Class Heroes' biggest hit. Bruno Mars earns his second top 10 hit, while his first, B.o.B.'s "Nothin' on You" remains in the top 10, down one to #8 this week.

9. Rock that Body - Black Eyed Peas

Black Eyed Peas score their 8th top 10 hit with "Rock that Body," the fifth consecutive top 10 hit from their album The E.N.D. Who was the last artist to send up five top 10 hits from an album without the benefit of a re-release? That would be The Black Eyed Peas' own girl Fergie, whose 2006 solo album, The Dutchess, scored five top 10 hits, including three #1s (just like The E.N.D.).

15. Miss Me - Drake feat. Lil Wayne

Drake has this week's highest new entry at #15 with "Miss Me," the third single from his new album. All of which have peaked around the same spot--"Over" hit #14, "Find Your Love" hit #13.

19. Cooler than Me - Mike Posner

Here's an interesting new single. Mike Posner, a singer/songwriter/producer from Michigan, is enjoying his first top 40 hit, "Cooler than Me," which climbs 12 spots to #19 this week. The single has a nice retro, electro-pop vibe to it.

26. Dynamite - Taio Cruz

Following up his recent #1 hit "Break Your Heart," Taio Cruz returns to the chart with his new single "Dynamite," making its H0t 100 debut at #26. It's the second U.S. single from his album Rokstarr, which was not included on the album's original UK release.
