Billboard Hot 100, 8/9/2008

1. I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

Katy Perry extends her run at the top to 6 weeks, making "I Kissed a Girl" now the second-longest running #1 hit of 2008. She's still got a ways to go if she's going to beat Flo Rida's 10-week run with "Low."

4. Disturbia - Rihanna

"Disturbia," the 7th single from Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad, rockets up 11 spots to give the Barbadian singer her 9th top 10 hit. Counting the original and special editions of Good Girl Gone Bad, this is the fifth top 10 single from that album, making it only the third album this decade after Usher's Confessions (2004) and Fergie's The Dutchess (2006) to score five top 10 hits. The previous four were "Umbrella" (#1), "Hate that I Love You" (#7), "Don't Stop the Music" (#3), and "Take a Bow" (#1). "Take a Bow" is still in the top 10, at #2 in fact, making her one of two artists with two hits in the top 10 this week (along with Lil Wayne, who's at #6 with "A Milli" and #7 with "Lollipop").

16. American Boy - Estelle Featuring Kanye West

Estelle's "American Boy" is finally taking off, up 10 spots this week and earning the sales gainer award. Along with Leona Lewis and Natasha Bedingfield, she's one of three British female singers in the top 10 this week.

34. One Step at a Time - Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks continues to move up with "One Step at a Time," up 5. Last week the single became her fourth top 40 hit.

38. All Summer Long - Kid Rock

Already a major hit in the UK, Kid Rock's "All Summer Long," which has been showing well at top 40, finally cracks the Hot 100 this week, giving him a third top 40 single.

"I Kissed a Girl" is an example of a song that I initially despise only to have it grow on me.
