And people wonder why I don't post here that often

[jennifa]

Go Usher! ;d

[So What]

Chris Brown will be 'With You' for months

Thanks to another surge in total listeners, plus a sizable drop for the nearest competition, Chris Brown's With You opens up a massive lead on the national radio airplay audience chart, holding the No. 1 spot for the second week and setting up what should be a long reign at the top (unless Mariah Carey has something to say about it).

Flo Rida's Low stays at No. 2 but loses 10 million listeners for the week. Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music leaps from No. 6 to No. 3, displacing Alicia Keys' No One, Timbaland & OneRepublic's Apologize and Keys' Like You'll Never See Me Again, all of which drop a notch. Snoop Dogg's Sensual Seduction remains at No. 7, followed by the top 10 debuts of Carey's red-hot Touch My Body and Sara Bareilles' slow-burning Love Song. Webbie's Independent rounds out the group.

All the gory details follow.

> The annotated top 10:

1-1 last week Chris Brown, With You (up 4.3% in total audience): Only Mariah (or maybe Usher) can stop him, and that's weeks away from becoming a danger.

2-2 Flo Rida, Low (-7.3%): The tide of airplay finally starts receding, but it's probably got a couple more weeks at No. 2 until Rihanna or a newer hit can gather more audience. Right now it's a gap of 42 million between Flo Rida and Rihanna.

3-6 Rihanna, Don't Stop the Music (+5.6%): Great jump on the chart, but it was facilitated in part by substantial drops for the three songs ahead of it. Check to see if it slows down next week or remains a threat to hit No. 2.

4-3 Alicia Keys, No One (-6.4%): Last week's drop was 8.2%, so it arrested its decline a little, but further (and farther) chart drops are inevitable.

5-4 Timbaland & OneRepublic, Apologize (-6.7%): After half a year on the chart, finally a substantial decline, but this song's got nothing to 'pologize for.

6-5 Alicia Keys, Like You'll Never See Me Again (-5.9%): Now in a race with its predecessor to see which falls faster.

7-7 Snoop Dogg, Sensual Seduction (-4.4%): Ready for a fall.

8-13 Mariah Carey, Touch My Body (+24.5%): Somehow, my negative opinion about this one hasn't stopped it from zooming into the top 10 in a remarkable three weeks. (That was sarcasm, by the way -- the "somehow" part, anyway.) I'd peg it for a jump to No. 4 next week, since it's roaring along and the four songs ahead of it are all dropping. Then sky's the limit, unless Usher proves to be even more unstoppable.

9-11 Sara Bareilles, Love Song (+13.6%): A long, slow build for this project pays off with a top 10 slot, and likely more growth to come.

10-10 Webbie, Independent (+5.6%): Jumped by Mariah and Sara this week, but still viable.

> Next week's top 10 contenders:

There is no doubt that Usher's Love in This Club will hit the top 10 next week; the question is where. It jumped 21-12 in its third week, with a stunning 36% audience gain, and has a shot at jumping straight into the top 5. Clearly Mariah's main rival for a future No. 1 berth.

Otherwise, Lupe Fiasco's Superstar still has hope, despite a 16-16 move, thanks to its 6.5% increase in audience. And Ray J's Sexy Can I is up 29-18 with a 24.2% gain.

> This week's hottest songs:

You've read about Usher, Mariah and Ray J. Also hot are 2 Pistols' She Got It (+28.7%, 92-73 in its third week), and three country songs: Taylor Swift's Picture to Burn (+26.3%, 80-64 in week #2), Trace Adkins' You're Gonna Miss This (+22.4%, 56-43 in week #5), and James Otto's Just Got Started Lovin' You (+21.8%, 86-72 in its second week).

> This week's debuts on the top 100:

Rick Ross' The Boss (likely no relation to Diana Ross' The Boss from the '70s) is the top debut at No. 89. The Jonas Brothers' When You Look Me in the Eyes comes in at 92, and rounding out the chart are Juanes' Gotas de Agua Dulce (Drops of Sweet Water for anglophones) at 98, Puddle of Mudd's Psycho (no relation to the great Sonics song of the same name) at 99 and Lady Antebellum's Love Don't Live Here at 100.

When looking at it, Usher's digital sales really aren't that great... lol Especially for a "comeback" song that was pretty anticipated.

THANKS!
