Chris Brown's With You still has no competition in its immediate sights for No. 1 on the national radio airplay audience chart. It loses a little audience in retaining the top spot for the fourth week, according to Nielsen BDS, Arbitron and Radio & Records, but No. 2, Flo Rida's Low, lost even more.
Down the road, there will be a new No. 1, of course, and now it appears to be Usher's Love in This Club taking command. The song jumped from No. 5 to No. 3, overtaking Mariah Carey's Touch My Body, which remains at No. 4.
The rest of the top 10: Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music, Sara Bareilles' Love Song, Timbaland & One Republic's Apologize, Alicia Keys' No One, the debut of Ray J's Sexy Can I and Keys' Like You'll Never See Me Again.
Full-service details are back and follow.
> The annotated top 10:
1-1 last week Chris Brown, With You (down 1.4% in total audience): Now with a 36 million lead in audience impressions, and more than 50 million ahead of the next song that actually poses an eventual threat. Chris enters his comfort zone.
2-2 Flo Rida, Low (-7.4%): Hitting the floor, but it will be a while before it really gets low.
3-5 Usher, Love in This Club (+16.3%): Looking unstoppable; it went from 2 1/2 million behind Mariah last week to 3 million ahead.
4-4 Mariah Carey, Touch My Body (+9.1%): A 9% gain this high up the chart is tremendous, but further miracles are needed if the song is to give Usher any competition for No. 1.
5-3 Rihanna, Don't Stop the Music (-2.2%): Continues to slip, albeit very slowly.
6-7 Sara Bareilles, Love Song (+9.1%): Top 5 next week, then progress will be slow thereafter.
7-6 Timbaland & OneRepublic, Apologize (-6.8%): The end of its endless top 10 reign is in sight at last.
8-8 Alicia Keys, No One (-5.8%): Likewise.
9-15 Ray J, Sexy Can I (+27.4%): Absolutely exploded, doubling its rate of increase from the previous week. Pass the brandy.
10-9 Alicia Keys, Like You'll Never See Me Again (-7.6%): Most likely gone next week.
> Next week's top 10 contenders:
Several records are ready to fall out of the top 10 (Timbaland and both Keys hits), but is anything ready to move in? Webbie's Independent dropped out this week, losing 5% in audience. It would be the best chance for Lupe Fiasco's Superstar next week; it moved 14-13 with a 5% gain, though, so it's no sureshot. The Dream's Falsetto picked up, moving 17-15 with an 8% gain. Finally, Jordin Sparks' No Air jumped 22-17 with a 17% gain.
> This week's hottest songs:
Leona Lewis, the British sensation who has sold buckets under the tutelage of Simon Cowell's UK operations, is igniting here -- Bleeding Love is by far the hottest song this week, gaining 48% in audience with a chart move of 93-59 in its second week.
Colby O'Donis' What You Got jumps 87-63 in its second week, thanks to a guest spot from Akon and a 33.3% audience gain. Ray J you've read about; it's followed by Rick Ross' The Boss, up 24.7% for a 64-47 chart move in its third week. And, getting hotter relatively deep into its chart run, Miley Cyrus' See You Again is up 22.9%, good for a 35-24 jump in its 10th week.
> This week's debuts on the top 100:
Flo Rida's Elevator leads a crop of four debuts, bowing at No. 78. Rascal Flatts' Every Day is new at 83, Flex's Te Quiero enters at 96 and Jewel's country hit Stronger Woman is in at 99.
Wonderful for Leona If her label were smart, they would have her perform on Idol either this week, or the week of her album release, I'd prefer this week if it would help her top the Hot 100!
<3 MAN I LOVE LEONA
bleeding love started playing on the loud speaker during our morning announcements [theres always a song when someone gets a college acceptation] and i was singingg.
I just bought the "Bleeding Love" single today. BL is the only track on it, but I still bought it (It was for 99 cents). It also has a $2 coupon off of "Spirit" when it is released.
I just realized something amazing, we already know that Leona has around 30 million audience impressions, as well as the #1 song on iTunes, but I also just realized that Leona's single for Bleeding Love was released to Target this week (perfect timing!) which will surely help her, even the smallest things help, AND Leona has the video on AOL, and Yahoo, which now helps on the charts, when Usher has absolutely no video to boost his position
If her label were smart, they would have her perform on Idol either this week, or the week of her album release, I'd prefer this week if it would help her top the Hot 100!
