Can Katy Perry hold off Rihanna another week atop the Billboard Hot 100?
Katy Perry spends her third week at No. 1 with “E.T.” featuring Kanye West atop the Billboard Hot 100. The song, from her sophomore album “Teenage Dream,” continues to pick up steam at radio rising 6-2 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart. The song also remains a strong digital seller, logging its fifth week at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart.
Perry’s stint at No. 1 keeps Rihanna’s “S&M” at No. 2 for the third week on the Billboard Hot 100. Although on the Radio Songs chart, Rihanna trumps Perry as “S&M” remains No. 1 for the third week. However, the tune may surge next week to the top of the Hot 100 as the digital sales from Rihanna/Britney Spears’ remix of “S&M” factor in. Billboard estimates that both versions of the song could sell around 200,000 copies.
