No. 1 'Club' for Usher again
Usher's Love in This Club stays at No. 1 on the national radio airplay audience chart compiled by Nielsen BDS, Arbitron and Radio & Records, and firms up its hold on the top spot in the process, growing in audience at double the rate of runner-up Touch My Body by Mariah Carey.
A tight, possibly four-way race is shaping up, as both third-place Sexy Can I, by Ray J, and No. 4 No Air, by Jordin Sparks, are up sharply in total audience. Chris Brown's former No. 1 With You is No. 5.
Sara Bareilles' Love Song ranks sixth, followed by the top 10 debut of Lil' Wayne's Lollipop, plus Flo Rida's Low, Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love and Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music.
Vast quantities of additional airplay information are available in what follows.
> The annotated top 10:
1-1 last week Usher, Love in This Club (up 8.6% in total audience): Increased its lead over Mariah from a bit less than 8 million audience impressions to nearly 14 million this week, and doubled Mariah's rate of increase, so it's looking secure at No. 1 for now.
2-2 Mariah Carey, Touch My Body (+4.2%): The big Mariah push comes this week -- album release, TV (two Idol appearances) and so forth, so it's kind of now-or-never time to see if it can hit No. 1.
3-4 Ray J, Sexy Can I (+12.4%): Within striking distance of Mariah (8 million impressions) with triple the rate of increase, so it's right there in the mix and may overtake her soon.
4-5 Jordin Sparks, No Air (+19.0%): But then there's this record, which is only 3 million impressions behind Ray J and is increasing its audience even faster. Great race.
5-3 Chris Brown, With You (-8.4%): It's a long way down from the top.
6-6 Sara Bareilles, Love Song (-0.7%): That should wrap it up.
7-12 Lil' Wayne, Lollipop (+40.5%): Hottest song of the week. The gap, lyrically speaking, between the first Lollipop hit of the modern era, by The Chordettes in 1958, and this is positively mind-boggling.
8-7 Flo Rida, Low (-10.3): Dropping faster now.
9-10 Leona Lewis, Bleeding Love (+23.9%): Minuscule chart jump, but not to worry -- the rate of increase is smashing and it should get to No. 7 or so next week. Then the test will come -- vanquishing all the hot records ahead of it.
10-8 Rihanna, Don't Stop the Music (-17.8%): Should be gone next week.
> Next week's top 10 contenders:
It appears that only one slow (Rihanna's) will be open, and that's likely to go to Rick Ross' The Boss, which moves 26-13 on the chart this week with a 20.8% audience increase. Nos. 14 and 15, Miley Cyrus' See You Again and Trace Adkins' You're Gonna Miss This, are still climbing, but more slowly.
> This week's hottest songs:
You know about Lil' Wayne, so the second-biggest audience increase is owned by Plies' Bust It Baby, up 36.8% for a chart jump of 93-62 in its second week. Danity Kane's Damaged moves 64-47 with a 30.2% increase in its third week. Carrie Underwood's Last Name jumps 79-63 in its second week with a 25.2% gain. Leona Lewis and Rick Ross have been mentioned above, so the last tune on our list is 3 Doors Down's It's Not My Time, up 90-69 in its second week thanks to a 20.2% audience increase.
> This week's debuts on the top 100:
Five songs enter the chart this week, led by Kenny Chesney's Better as a Memory at No. 76. John Mayer's Say comes in at 83, Rihanna's Take a Bow is 84, Maroon 5's Won't Go Home Without You bows at 93 and Jake Owen's Something About a Woman rounds out the quintet at 97.

lol
Hopefully they fall and she gets it in a week or so. Wishful thinking but ya never know. 
Sad, but I don't think its going to happen. MAYBE when she releases her album and has another unit/front page-ad. LOL!
Too bad it will probably be off next week. hahaha
