I'm keeping this brief to get to the Grammies.
Billboard Hot 100 (Singles):
Fourth week at #1 for Chris Brown (Featuring Juelz Santana) and "Run It." A challenger for #1 has emerged in D4L, which moves up 2 to #2 with "Laffy Taffy." Mariah Carey moves into the top 10, up 5 to #7 with "Don't Forget About Us," which earns this week's Airplay Gainer award. The Sales Gainer is a top 10 single also; Eminem moves up 17 places to #8 with "When I'm Gone."
Just outside the top 10, Nelly (Featuring Pall Wall, Ali & Gipp) is poised to enter it next week with "Grillz;" his ode to barbecue climbs 8 to #11.
New entries in the top 40 include Mary J. Blige at #32 with "Be Without You" up from #50, the Cast of Rent (the film) are up 10 to #33 with "Seasons of Love," and Carrie Underwood scores her second top 40 hit with "Jesus, Take the Wheel" at #40. Next week, expect Shakira and James Blunt to break into the top 40.
No major new entries; the biggest is dance artist Cascada at #86 with "Everytime We Touch."
Billboard 200 (Albums):
Now 20 returns to #1, having held the spot upon its debut 4 weeks ago. Chris Brown makes his Billboard 200 debut at #2 with Chris Brown. The album features this week's #1 single, "Run It." Carrie Underwood moves back up to #3 with Some Hearts. Shakira's Oral Fixation Volume 2 debuts at #5, one place lower than the June debut of its Spanish counterpart, Fijacion Oral Vol 1. Enya, who debutted last week at #8 with Amarantine, moves up 2 to #6.
Grammy watch: This year's album of the year nominees will likely get a bump in sales over the next two weeks, but as of now their chart positions are: Mariah Carey (#7), Green Day (#28), Kanye West (#35), Gwen Stefani (#60), U2 (not in the top 200).

Now that you've gone black, you'll never go back.
