1. Disturbia - Rihanna
Barbadian singer Rihanna climbs two spots this week to score her fourth #1 single with "Disturbia." That puts her in the ranks among five other artists (Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Nelly and Ludacris) that have had four #1 hits this decade. Only one other artist has more--Usher, with seven chart-toppers. Rihanna becomes the first artist to score a second #1 hit this year. It's also the fourth single from a foreigner to top the Hot 100 so far this year.
2. Forever - Chris Brown
Chris Brown holds at #2, retaining his bullet.
5. Paper Planes - M.I.A.
British rapper M.I.A. is highly regarded by music critics--her album, Kala, was one of last year's best-reviewed albums. But until now, she's never had a major hit in the U.S. "Paper Planes" correct that this week, jumping 11 spots to give M.I.A. her first top 10 hit. This is a rather unexpected jump for a single released 6 months ago, and the success is owed in part to the song's appearance in promotional trailers for the new film The Pineapple Express.
9. Burnin' Up - The Jonas Brothers
11. A Little Bit Longer - The Jonas Brothers
iTunes continues its special promotion of The Jonas Brothers, releasing "A Little Bit Longer" as the last track to come out before the release of the album last week. It gives the brothers their 7th top 40 hit. Meanwhile, their official single, "Burnin' Up," rebounds into the top 10.
38. Better in Time - Leona Lewis
"Better in Time" moves up 12 spots, giving Leona Lewis her second top 40 hit. The singer is due to perform at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, in honor of London being the 2012 host. "Better in Time" is one of five singles in the top 40 this week by British female artists, along with Lewis's other single, "Bleeding Love," and tracks by M.I.A., Estelle and Natasha Bedingfield.
