The three-week reign of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart was interrupted last week by Pink’s No. 1 hit “So What.” But it reclaims the top spot this week fueled by sales of more than 202,000 digital downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
T.I.’s current single is also the fastest-growing track at radio this week, and ends the four-week rule of Jazmine Sullivan’s “Need U Bad” on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Kanye West’s new single “Love Lockdown” debuts at a career-best No. 3 on the Hot 100 after first-week digital sales of 218,000, also a career high, according to Billboard.
Rihanna’s “Disturbia” drops 3-4, followed by Taylor Swift’s “Love Story,” M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes,” Ne-Yo’s “Closer” and T-Pain’s “Can’t Believe It” featuring Lil Wayne at Nos. 5-8, respectively.
Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold” jumps 12-9, followed by Estelle’s “American Boy” featuring Kanye West, which drops 9-10.
Former Hootie & the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker scores his first No. 1 on Hot Country Songs as “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” leaps 3-1. The artist’s Capitol Nashville country debut, “Learn To Live,” opened at No. 5 on The Billboard 200 yesterday.
