“Rude Boy” Becomes Rihanna’s Sixth #1
2:27 PM on Wed Mar 17 2010 by Robbie Daw
After gloomy Rated R singles "Russian Roulette" and "Hard" failed to return Rihanna to the tip top of the Billboard Hot 100, randy jam "Rude Boy" has now become the mechanically-inclined singer's sixth overall #1 hit (if we're including T.I.'s "Live Your Life"), and fifth as a lead artist. There's just something about springtime and Rihanna singles that makes folks want to fork over their $1.29 on iTunes—"SOS" topped the chart in May 2006, while "Umbrella" hit #1 in early June 2007 and "Take A Bow" crowned the Hot 100 in May 2008.

The Black Eyed Peas End Ke$ha’s Drunken Reign Of Terror On The Hot 100
8:09 AM on Thu Feb 25 2010 by Robbie Daw
Poor Ke$ha. She was just one week shy of of tying Debby Boone's record for having the longest stay (10 weeks) atop the Billboard Hot 100 with a debut single by a female artist. Alas, after nine weeks, "TiK ToK" gets bumped from #1 by the Black Eyed Peas' "Imma Be" like a sloppy drunk being tossed into the gutter after downing too many cheap cosmos during Happy Hour. Hiccup!

See how the rest of the Top 10 panned out after the jump.

Sade Expected To ‘Soldier’ Straight To The Top Of Next Week’s Album Chart
2:57 PM on Wed Feb 10 2010 by Robbie Daw
Sade may have taken a ten-year break, but early sales figures indicate that the love for the UK quartet is still as strong as ever. HITS Daily Double is projecting that the band's latest LP Soldier Of Love will sell between 400,000 and 425,000 copies next week, easily landing it at the top of Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. If this does indeed happen, it will mark only the second time Sade have clinched a #1 LP in the States (after 1985 album Promise).
