Eminem And Rihanna Keep Katy Perry’s "Teenage Dream" From #1 On Billboard Hot 100

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – Eminem and Rihanna are still holding down the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 enough to keep Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” from coming true. “Love the Way You Lie” spends its seventh week at #1 this week, selling 182,000 copies of its digital single. Rihanna is already preparing the release of her next single, “Only Girl (In the World),” sure to join the top 10 soon.

Eminem and Rihanna’s dream coupling may make it hard for Katy Perry to take the #1 spot with “Teenage Dream,” the title track off her newly released album. “Teenage Dream” becomes the #1 selling track on Hot Digital Songs, moving 259,000 copies this week, good enough to move up a spot from #3 last week to #2 this week on the chart. The song also passes the 1 million sales mark this week.

Down a spot to #3 this week is Taio Cruz with his single “Dynamite.” The single sold 178,000 copies this week. Continuing at #4 this week are Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull with his “Jersey Shore”-featured hit “I Like It,” and maintaining at #5 for another week is Usher with his own Pitbull-featuring hit, “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love.”

Up three spots to #6 this week is Bruno Mars with his solo single, “Just the Way You Are.” He was regularly in the top 10 this year thanks to his guest spots on Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” and B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ On You.” Katy Perry makes her second appearance on the top 10 this week, with “California Gurls” at #7. The former #1 moves up a spot this week with the Snoop Dogg-featuring single.

Mike Posner is down a spot this week to #8 with “Cooler Than Me,” while Taylor Swift arrives back into the top 10 after a one-week absence with her new single “Mine.” The single jumps back up five spots to #9 from #14 last week. “Mine” is the first single from her upcoming “Speak Now” album.

Closing out the top 10 is Ke$ha, who earns her fourth top 10 single from her debut album “Animal” this week. Her latest, “Take It Off,” climbs up six spots to #10 from #16 last week, with sales of 110,000 copies.
