The "official" singles charts for the US and the UK both had exactly 17 new number ones this year, including four singles that topped both charts (Timbaland's "Give It to Me," Rihanna, Kanye West, and Sean Kingston). Rihanna had the longest run in the UK with 10 weeks, and tied with Soulja Boy for the longest US run with 7 weeks.
