Lady Gaga's Born This Way starts its third week atop Riskbreaker Top 40, defending the spot to Ke$ha's Blow - which peaks at no. 2 this week. Born This Way is just one week away before it ties the record for the longest run at number-one with Maroon 5's Never Gonna Leave This Bed - which deeps a notch to no. 3 this week. Hey Monday's Candles inches to no. 4, while Jessie James finally breaks in to the top five with Price Tag.
Referencing my old chart, Katy Perry scores her fourth consecutive top ten hit this era with ET. Meanwhile, two song debuts inside the top 20 this week. These are Britney Spears' Till The World Ends at no. 18 and Tinie Tempah's Written In The Stars at no. 19. This is Spears' second hot debut this year, following Hold It Against Me which debuted on February 19 at no. 21. Other debuts include Yellowcard's Hold You Up at no. 27, 30 Seconds To Mars' This Is War at no. 29, and Newboyz' Backseat at no. 36.
