Lady GaGa has returned to the top of the pop chart with her second #1 hit of 2009. She becomes the first artist to have two chart toppers this year with “Poker Face” which holds at #1 for a third week. She spent two weeks at #1 in January with her first hit, “Just Dance”. The 22-year old New York sensation had already joined Colbie Caillat, Katy Perry and Leona Lewis as female vocalists to take their first two hits to the Top 5 in the past 12 months. Lady GaGa is the first to take both to #1.
The Black Eyed Peas are back in the Top 2 for the first time since their very first hit, “Where Is The Love” went to #1 in 2003. This week the L.A. quartet moves from 3-2 with “Boom Boom Pow”. The song is the first release from their new album “The END” which drops in June. This is the Black Eyed Peas’ eighth Top 10 hit and first since going to #10 in 2006 with “Pump It”.
The All-American Rejects already spent two weeks at #1 with “Gives You Hell”. But they have a big week in two ways this week. They spend their fifth consecutive week at #4. The last song to spend five weeks at any position in the Top 5 was “So What” by Pink which notched five weeks at #1 last fall. The Oklahoma band also debuts in the Rock-It! Top 100 this week at #57 with “The Wind Blows”.
Up from 8-6 is Jesse McCartney who makes his third career Top 10 appearance with “How Do You Sleep?” featuring Ludacris. This is the 22-year old New York star’s first Top 10 trip since going to #1 with the top song of 2008, “Leavin’”. It is his third Top 10 hit. His first was “Beautiful Soul” which peaked at #3 in 2005.
Moving from 10-8 is Britney Spears with “If U Seek Amy”. It is Britney’s 13th Top 10 hit and third from her current album “Circus”. The first two, “Womanizer” and “Circus” both reached #1. She is trying to match Pink, the last artist to have three straight #1 hits.
41-year old Texas R&B singer Jamie Foxx has already been to #1 featured on Kanye West’s “Gold Digger” in 2005. But this week the actor scores his first Top 10 hit as a headline artist as he inches up from 11-10 with “Blame It” featuring T-Pain.
Two new songs in the Top 20 this week. Flo Rida has his fourth Top 20 hit as he moves from 21-18 with “Sugar” featuring Wynter”. This is the follow up to his #1 hit, “Sugar” featuring Ke$ha which slips from 2-3 this week. The 29-year old rapper has already had two #1 hits. His first single, “Low”, went to #1 last year.
For a second week in a row, this week’s biggest moving song is from Kelly Clarkson. The original American Idol’s 12th Top 40 hit is “I Do Not Hook Up” and this week the song pushes forward from 25-19 in only its third week in the Top 40. It’s the follow up to Kelly’s #1 smash “My Life Would Suck Without You” which holds at #7 this week.
There is only one new song in the Top 40 this week. Illinois pop quintet Plain White T’s are in at #40 with “1,2,3,4”. This is their second chart appearance. They went to #2 in 2007 with “Hey There Delilah”.
Other chart information of note this week:
After taking a small tumble last week, Fall Out Boy, The Ting Tings and The Offspring all rebound this week up four spots with their respective new hits.
“Poker Face” spends its second week at #1 on the pop chart and its 14th week at #1 on the Dance Chart for a Rock-it! record.
