Flashing Lights' Top 30 from May 25 - May 31 | Usher retires
Leona Lewis has been breaking records, just like Mariah Carey recently has with "Touch My Body", but now "Bleeding Love" ties a certain song's record. What record might that be? She ties "Touch My Body"'s record of amount of weeks at #1 on my chart. If Leona manages to stay at #1 next week, it's final week on the countdown, she'll break Mariah's record, and also be the first person to retire at #1, so be here next week! Besides Leona breaking Mariah's record, today we have debuts from Lil Wayne, Jordin Sparks, Maroon 5 and believe it or not Miley Cyrus. I will also bring back the flashback song of the week from the Hot 100's #1 exactly 1 year ago this week. And guess who won wildcard retirement? For the first time ever I will also choose a random song to retire no matter how many weeks it's been on the countdown. Which will it be?
