Pork here.
T.I. is livin’ his life . . . at the top of the charts . . . for another week . . . as he’s done for just about every week since this site’s creation. “Live Your Life” does it again and astonishingly claims the Airplay Gainer award in the meantime. T.I.’s also got the No.2 spot locked down still with “Whatever You Like” despite some hardcore pressure from “Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry. Kanye West makes a strong entry at No.4 with “Heartless”, his second auto-tuned effort from his upcoming album, 808s & Heartbreak. Meanwhile, Beyonce boringly stays put at No.5 with “If I Were A Boy.” yawn.
The Twilight Soundtrack managed to bump AC/DC down one spot and score the No.1 position on both the Top 200 and the Top Rock Albums while also taking the top honors on the Top Modern Rock/Alternative Albums and Top Internet and Digital Albums charts. Twilight is only the third soundtrack this year to go to the top which makes it’s No.1 debut even more notable. In it’s first week it moved 165,000 units . . . and I must say that it moved me too.
T.I. is not looking to lose any honors on the albums charts either and tells John Legend to get to steppin’ after only one week of letting him sit in his Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums throne.
Place your bets now for next week’s highest charting debut: T.I.? David Archuleta? or will Taylor Swift pull off a country coup and twang herself right into the No.1 spot? Stay tuned. (Go, Davey!)
Remember to listen to a new album this week, and never forget to enjoy . . . A View From The Top! A look at what’s sitting atop this week’s Billboard charts, after the jump.
