David Archuleta

February 7, 2009

On its tenth week on the chart, Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” finally takes over on the Hot 100.  After a huge cross-over to the ‘masa’ stations, ‘Ladies’ topples Ne-Yo’s “Mad” this week. This is Beyonce’s second number-one single on the Hot 100.  

Also, Beyonce’s ‘I Am.. Sasha Fierce’ album sets the record for the album with the most simultaneous entry on the Hot 100, as the album placed three more singles on the charts. “If I Were a Boy” falls 13-21, “Halo” rises 61-40, and “Diva” debuts at No. 56.

Meanwhile, David Archuleta soars to No. 2 with “A Little Too Not over You.” ‘Little’ is the American Idol 7 runner-up’s second number-two hit. Last year, Archuleta’s “Crush” spent five non-consecutive weeks at No.2 without reaching the pole spot.

Elsewhere, in the Hot 100 this week Ne-Yo drops 1-3 after holding the top spot for four weeks, while Britney Spears’s “Circus” slides 3-4.

Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” explodes 19-5 after gaining the most points this week, giving Swift her second top ten hit and first top five hit. To date, this is the country singer’s highest peaking single eclipsing the No. 6 peak of “Teardrops on My Guitar” last year.

The Fray’s “You Found Me” holds at No. 6, as Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” featuring Colby O’ Donis rises 10-7.

Mariah Carey’s “I Stay in Love” inches 9-8, as David Cook’s “Avalanche” and Gaga’s “Poker Face” advances to No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.

The Killers’ “Spaceman” is the top debut at No. 38, and debuting just behind them is James Morrison’s “Broken Strings” featuring Nelly Furtado. New entries also include Sarah Geronimo’s “You Changed my Life in a Moment” at No. 78 and Leona Lewis’ “I Will Be” at No. 100, among others.
