  • Usher's Papers sees a huge 61 spot jump this week, 92-31, in its 2nd week on the charts. He might have a hit on his hands...but I wouldn't be shocked if things died down about he got into the low 20s.
  • Snoop Dogg's first single Gangsta Luv with The-Dream debuts at #57 this week.
  • Birdman's Money To Blow featuring Lil Wayne & Drake soars 30 spots 94-64 in its 3rd week on the charts.
  • T-Pain's Take Off Your Shirt debuts at #80. I don't know, I feel like this song came out around this time last year.
  • Trey Songz and Drake make a return to the Hot 100 as Invented Sex starts at #90.
  • Owl City is holding down the top spot with Fireflies, and their follow up, Vanilla Twilight, debuts at #95.
  • Rihanna's comeback single Russian Roulette gets off to a slow start at #100, but look for her to turn it on in the next few weeks. (How crazy would it be if this and Chris Brown's I Can Transform Ya were battling for the #1 spot in a few weeks??)
