BILLBOARD: Adele Stays Atop Hot 100, Lady Gaga Makes 'Glory'-ous Start

 

May 18, 2011 1:05 EDT

 

Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" claims a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (May 19) on Billboard.com, while Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" soars in at No. 3.

 

"Rolling in the Deep" strengthens its lock atop the chart with Airplay Gainer honors for a third consecutive week and the Digital Gainer award for the second time in four weeks. The song rises 3-2 on Radio Songs (118 million in audience, up 19%, according to Nielsen BDS) and logs a second frame atop Digital Songs with its highest weekly sum to-date (353,000 downloads sold, up 20%, according to Nielsen SoundScan).

 

As previously reported, Adele's "21" dominates the Billboard 200 for an eighth week, while "Rolling in the Deep" sets the weekly plays record in its third frame in charge of the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart.

 

Katy Perry's former Hot 100 No. 1 "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, holds at No. 2, while Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" blasts in at No. 3. The third single from her album "Born This Way," due May 23, charges in as the highest new entry on Digital Songs (No. 2; 266,000) and Radio Songs (No. 54; 20 million, up 361%).

 

Lady Gaga has started higher on the Hot 100 and Digital Songs only with the title cut from "Born This Way," which launched atop both surveys in February.

 

With "Born This Way" having led the Hot 100 for six weeks and prior single "Judas" having debuted and peaked at No. 10 four weeks ago (it falls 19-27 this week), Lady Gaga's first 10 singles promoted to radio have reached the Hot 100's top 10. Among women in the chart's five-decade history, only Mariah Carey (11) has begun with more consecutive career-opening top 10 singles.

 

Pitbull unleashes his fifth Hot 100 top five hit, as "Give Me Everything," featuring Ne-Yo, AfroJack and Nayer, vaults 8-4. The song jumps 15-8 on Radio Songs (71 million, up 25%) in its fifth week, marking Pitbull's fastest flight to the chart's top tier as a lead artist. On Digital Songs, "Give Me Everything" ascends 7-4 (186,000, up 22%).

 

The Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough" dips 4-5 on the Hot 100, while Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor," featuring Pitbull, slides 3-6.

 

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" drops 5-7, Britney Spears' "Till the World Ends" slips 6-8, Chris Brown's former No. 6-peaking "Look at Me Now," featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, rebounds 10-9 and Jeremih's "Down on Me," featuring 50 Cent, rises 12-10 after reaching No. 4 last month.

 

Below Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory," 12 other songs arrive on the Hot 100.

 

Enrique Iglesias matches his best Hot 100 debut rank, as "Dirty Dancer," with Usher and featuring Lil Wayne, opens at No. 18. The song begins on Digital Songs at No. 9 with 126,000 downloads, marking both his highest debut position on the tally and his best first-week sales total.

 

Iglesias likewise arrived at No. 18 on the Hot 100 with previous pop single "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" (featuring Ludacris & DJ Frank E), which reached No. 4. As "I Like It" (featuring Pitbull), the first release from "Euphoria," also rose to No. 4, the set is Iglesias' first to yield three top 20 Hot 100 hits (although the remix of "Dancer" with Lil Wayne is not included on the album).

 

The "Glee" cast sends six songs onto the Hot 100, led by its cover of the chart's top song, "Rolling in the Deep," at No. 29 (93,000 downloads). New at No. 34, the troupe's take on Rebecca Black's "Friday" (82,000) outperforms the original, which stopped at No. 58 seven weeks ago. (Despite its viral buzz -- 143 million YouTube views in its first three months -- Black's "Friday" peaked at No. 38 on Digital Songs and did not reach the Radio Songs survey).

 

The Hot 100's fifth top 40 debut this week represents Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler's first appearance on the list as a solo artist. The "American Idol" judge's "(It) Feels So Good" bounds in at No. 35 (and No. 24 on Digital Songs) with digital sales of 77,000. Aerosmith has charted 28 songs on the Hot 100, beginning with "Dream On" in 1973.

 

Other Hot 100 arrivals include Rick Ross' "9 Piece," featuring Lil Wayne or T.I. (No. 61); the Lonely Island's "Jack Sparrow" (featuring Michael Bolton) (No. 69), from the act's "Turtleneck & Chain," which bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200; and, 2007 "Idol" champion Jordin Sparks' "I Am Woman" (No. 82), which she performed Thursday (May 12) on the series' stage.

YAHOO: Idol Boosts Tyler

 

May 18, 2011 6:12pm PDT

 

Nearly 38 years after Aerosmith first cracked the Hot 100 with "Dream On," lead singer Steven Tyler finally hits the chart in his own right with "(It) Feels So Good," which opens at #35. This marks Tyler's first Hot 100 appearance since Aerosmith's "Jaded" reached #7 in early 2001. Tyler is the second judge on American Idol to score a comeback hit this season. He follows Jennifer Lopez, whose "On The Floor" (featuring Pitbull) peaked at #3 last week. It's J.Lo's biggest hit since 2003.

 

Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" holds at #1 for the second week. The song sold 353K copies this week, the biggest one-week total for any song since Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" sold 509K copies in its second week in February. By contrast, "Rolling In The Deep" is in its 19th week. It's only the fifth song in digital history to sell 350K or more copies this deep into its chart run. It's the first to do so since Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You)" sold 412K copies in its 26th week in February. Cee Lo's surge came just after the Grammys. Adele's surge follows a performance of the song on Glee. TV sells.

 

Lady Gaga's "The Edge Of Glory" debuts at #3, giving Gaga three songs in the top 30 on the eve of the release of her second full-length album, Born This Way. Her former #1 smash "Born This Way" dips from #18 to #19. "Judas," the follow-up, drops from #19 to #27. This bodes well for Born This Way, which is vying to become the first album to sell 500,000 copies in one week since Taylor Swift's Speak Now in October. (That album of course sold more than 1 million copies in its first week, but even 500K would be the best showing since then. Born This Way will probably fall somewhere in between those sales points. But where? Place your bets.)

 

Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" drops from #5 to #7 on the Hot 100. The title is apt: It's an amiable song, but not as undeniable as his earlier hits. Mars basically coasted to a top five hit. The song also moves up to #1 in the U.K. It's Mars' third consecutive #1 hit in the U.K., following "Just The Way You Are" and "Grenade."

 

Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" (featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes) moves up from #10 to #9. It has been #1 on Hot R&B Songs for the past eight weeks. It may hold on for a ninth week (I'll find out on Thursday morning, when I'll update this item). If it does stay on top for a ninth week, it will be Brown's second hit to top Hot R&B Songs for nine weeks. "Deuces" (featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall) had nine weeks on top from September to November.

 

 

1. Adele, "Rolling In The Deep." The song holds at #1 for the second week in its 19th week on the chart. This is its seventh week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (353K).

 

2. Katy Perry featuring Kanye West, "E.T." The song holds at #2 for the second week in its 14th week on the chart. This is its 12th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #3 (200K).

 

3. Lady Gaga, "The Edge Of Glory." This new entry is Gaga's 10th top 10 hit. It's her eighth song to crack the top five. Her only top 10 hits to fall short are "Paparazzi," which peaked at #6, and "Judas," which stalled at #10. Digital sales rank: #2 (266K).

 

4. Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer, "Give Me Everything." The song jumps from #8 to #4 in its seventh week on the chart. It's the fifth top five hit for Pitbull; the fourth for Ne-Yo. This is the song's second week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #4 (186K).

 

5. The Black Eyed Peas, "Just Can't Get Enough." The song dips from #4 to #5 in its 13th week on the chart. This is its ninth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #7 (138K).

 

6. Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull, "On The Floor." The song drops from #3 to #6 in its 12th week on the chart. This is its 11th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #6 (149K).

 

7. Bruno Mars, "The Lazy Song." The song drops from #5 to #7 in its 12th week on the chart. This is its fourth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #5 (157K).

 

8. Britney Spears, "Till The World Ends." The song drops from #6 to #8 in its 11th week on the chart. This is its sixth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #11 (104K).

 

9. Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes, "Look At Me Now." The moves up from #10 to #9 in its 15th week on the chart. This is its ninth week in the top 10. The song in its eighth week at #1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Digital sales rank: #10 (109K).

 

10. Jeremih featuring 50 Cent, "Down On Me." The song rebounds from #12 to #10 in its 27th week on the chart. This is its eighth week in the top 10.

 

 

Lady Antebellum's "Just A Kiss" drops from #7 to #14 in its second week. Digital sales rank: #8 (128K). The song made news last week by becoming the highest-debuting song by a country duo or group in the history of the Hot 100. The old record was held by Sugarland's "Stuck Like Glue," which opened at #20 in August...Rihanna's "S&M" also drops out of the top 10 this week. It falls from #9 to #11 in its 18th week on the chart.

 

Lupe Fiasco's "The Show Goes On" jumps from #16 to #12 in its 20th week. This is its highest ranking to date. Fiasco's "Superstar" (featuring Matthew Santos) hit #10 in March 2008.

 

"Dirty Dancer" by Enrique Iglesias with Usher featuring Lil Wayne debuts at #18. (Artist billing is getting a little more complicated, wouldn't you say?) Digital sales rank: #9 (126K). This is vying to become Iglesias' sixth top 10 hit; Usher's 17th and Lil Wayne's 14th.

 

Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" vaults from #48 to #22 in its third week. This is vying to become Minaj's first top 10 solo hit, following featured credits on top 10 hits by Trey Songz and Britney Spears.

 

"Motivation" by Kelly Rowland featuring Lil Wayne jumps from #31 to #26 in its fifth week. It's Rowland's biggest solo hit to date as a lead artist. She was featured on Nelly's "Dilemma" (10 weeks at #1 in 2002) and Trina's "Here We Go" (#17 in 2005). Not to suggest that the former Destiny's Child colleagues are in perpetual competition with each other, but Rowland has bested Beyonce in this go-round. Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" drops from #65 to #76 in its fourth week, three weeks after debuting and peaking at #33.

 

Six more Glee Cast recordings enter the Hot 100. The Glee rendition of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" bows at #29, followed by the cast's versions of Rebecca Black's "Friday" at #34, Christina Perri's "Jar Of Hearts" at #49, Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" at #65, Black Kids' "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You" at #72 and Abba's "Dancing Queen" at #74. The Glee version of "Friday" has already charted higher than Black's original, which peaked at #58. That little ditty has had a remarkable life.

 

"9 Piece" by Rick Ross featuring T.I. debuts at #61. This is vying to become Ross' third top 40 hit as a lead artist. "The Boss" (featuring T-Pain) reached #17 in 2008. "Aston Martin Music" (featuring Drake and Chrisette Michele) hit #30 in 2010.

 

"Jack Sparrow" by The Lonely Island featuring Michael Bolton bows at #69. This is the Lonely Island's fifth Hot 100 hit, following "Jizz In My Pants" (#72), "I'm On A Boat" (featuring T-Pain, #56), "I Just Had Sex" (featuring Akon, #30) and "The Creep" (featuring Nicki Minaj, #82). The timing couldn't be better for "Jack Sparrow." The fourth Pirates of the Caribbean feature, with Johnny Depp in the lead role of Jack Sparrow, opens on May 20.

 

"Knee Deep" by Zac Brown Band featuring Jimmy Buffett debuts at #73. Buffett is primarily known as a pop artist, but he has long been embraced by country artists. Alan Jackson teamed with Buffett for the 2003 hit "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere." Buffett enlisted Jackson, Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith and George Strait on his 2004 remake of Hank Williams' "Hey, Good Lookin'." Martina McBride was featured on Buffett's 2004 tune "Trip Around The Sun."

 

Jordin Sparks' "I Am Woman" enters the Hot 100 at #82, in the week following her performance of the song on American Idol. This is not the same song as Helen Reddy's feminist anthem which topped the Hot 100 in December 1972 (which was, egads, 17 years before Sparks was born.) Sparks has had three top 10 hits: "Tattoo," "No Air" (a duet with Chris Brown) and "Battlefield."
