B.o.B Weaves Way To Hot 100 No. 1; 'Glee' Generates More Debuts

 

 

 

 

 

As mentioned in a breaking news story yesterday, B.o.B moves into the No. 1 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 with his debut single "Nothin' On You," featuring Bruno Mars. The rapper is the fourth male vocalist since October to reach No. 1 with his first entry, following Jay Sean, Jason Derulo and Taio Cruz. It's the fastest chart-topping clip for rookie men on the Hot 100 since Chris Brown, James Blunt, Ne-Yo and Daniel Powter each crowned the list between November 2005 and April 2006.



B.o.B also scores the chart's Hot Shot Debut as "Airplanes," featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore, lands at No. 12. That track and the just released "Bet I" - which should hit the Hot 100 next week - were digitally released in advance of his debut album, "B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray," which reaches retail on April 27.

"Not Myself Tonight," Christina Aguilera's first single from her upcoming "Bionic" album (due June 8), moves 77,000 downloads and enters the Hot 100 at No. 23 to become the singer's third-highest Hot 100 debut. Only "Keep Gettin' Better" (No. 7, 2008) and "Ain't No Other Man" (No. 19, 2006) posted better starts. At radio, "Not Myself Tonight" improves 27-23 in its second week on Pop Songs.

Owning the next four debut slots on the Hot 100 are the latest singles from the Glee Cast, performed during the April 13 episode of the FOX series. The troupe's covers of "Gives You Hell" (The All-American Rejects), "Hello" (Lionel Richie), "Hello Goodbye" (The Beatles) and "Hello, I Love You" (The Doors) enter at Nos. 32, 35, 49 and 66, respectively. Collectively, the debuting tracks move 245,000 downloads, while a fifth track, its rendition of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" shifts an additional 22,000, while falling just shy of the chart.

Since the start of 2009, the Glee Cast has now posted more chart entries (29) than any other act, surpassing Lil Wayne's 25 debuts during that span. And the act didn't post its first title on the list until June of last year. Expect more Glee Cast debuts next week as titles from the episode and album "The Power of Madonna" are currently selling at a brisk rate.

Moving back to the action within the Hot 100's top 10, Rihanna's "Rude Boy" is bumped to No. 2, but retains its lead on Radio Songs with 154 million listener impressions. Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" (No. 3) and Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart" (No. 4) both hold in place.

Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" (6-5) and "In My Head" from Jason Derulo (5-6) swap spots, remaining ahead of "Telephone" by Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce, which holds at No. 7.

Usher's "OMG," featuring will.i.am, makes a 10-8 move in the congested top 10, earning Airplay Gainer accolades with an impressive 17 million listener impression increase, good enough for a strong 56-25 push on the Radio Songs tally.

Ke$ha's "Your Love Is My Drug" shoots up 19-9, the third top 10 single from her debut set "Animal." Top 40 radio play (18-13 on Pop Songs) and a short one day of retail carry-over from her April 17 appearance on "Saturday Night Live" prompt a digital spike of 47% (13-7 on Digital Songs with 124,000 downloads). Ke$ha topped the Hot 100 for nine weeks earlier this year with "TiK ToK" and took "Blah Blah Blah," featuring 3OH!3, to No. 7.

Closing out the top 10 is Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want from Me" which rises 23-10 on the heels of his "American Idol" mentoring stint, which included a performance of the track. Exposure on the FOX network ratings juggernaut results in the Digital Gainer award and a 29-8 move on Digital Songs, with sales more than doubling to 108,000.

The remaining two debuts on this week's Hot 100 belong to two current top 20 titles on Country Songs; Jason Aldean's "Crazy Town" (No. 92) and Brad Paisley's "Water" (No. 100).

Christina Aguilera Set to Perform on 'American Idol' Finale

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gearing up for the release of her new album "Bionic", Christina Aguilera is filling her schedule with one TV performance after another. After securing a slot at the forthcoming "TODAY" summer concert series and on "The Oprah Winfrey

Show", the 29-year-old songstress has apparently landed a gig on "American Idol" finale.

The announcement on Twitter read, "We've reached over 19,000 followers and this just in, Christina Aguilera will be performing on the American Idol finale!" The "Candyman" singer is, thus, expected to take the stage in May. Though so, it isn't unclear whether she will be performing her new album's lead single "Not Myself Tonight".

Christina will fill a half-hour slot at the "TODAY" summer concert on June 8, the same day her album is scheduled for its U.S. release. A month prior on May 4, she is expected to tape a performance in Los Angeles for "VH1 Storytellers". She will head to New York City on May 7 to tape her performance for an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show".

Conan Returning To Late-Night On TBS

 

 

 

 

 

Months after being jettisoned as the host of "The Tonight Show," Conan O'Brien announced Monday that we will join cable channel TBS in November to host a late-night talk show.

"In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and I'm headed to basic cable," O'Brien says. "My plan is working perfectly."

O'Brien's still-unnamed show will be an hour long and shown Monday through Thursdays at 11 p.m. EST/PST. George Lopez's "Lopez Tonight" will be bumped to midnight - but there are apparently no hurt feelings between the two, as Lopez was the one to originally approach O'Brien to join the cable channel.

"I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in," Lopez says. According to TBS, the deal between the channel and O'Brien came together last week.

The announcement comes on the same day as O'Brien starts his "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour" comedy tour in Eugene, Ore.

The combination of O'Brien and Lopez sets up an interesting dynamic for TBS to woo an audience of both young and ethnically diverse viewers. According to Turner, 18% of "Lopez Tonight" viewers are Hispanic 18-49, the most of all late-night shows. In addition, the show is first among late night in African-American viewers, who comprise 14% of the audience. "Lopez Tonight" debuted last November, and averages about 1 million viewers a night.

Rihanna Streaks To A Fourth Week Atop Hot 100

 

Rihanna's "Rude Boy" rolls to a seventh week as the Airplay Gainer on the Billboard Hot 100 -- the longest streak in almost three years -- as it holds at No. 1 for a fourth frame. "Rude" is the first track to post such a lengthy run as the Airplay Gainer since "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" by T-Pain featuring Yung Joc did so for seven weeks in April/May of 2007.

In one of the most stable weeks so far this year, the top eight titles on the Hot 100 remain locked in place, with all but the Black Eyed Peas' "Imma Be" at No. 7 earning bullets signifying point gains. "Nothin' On Me" from B.o.B featuring  Bruno Mars holds the runner-up slot for a third week and Train stays stuck at No. 3 with "Hey, Soul Sister."

Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now," "Telephone" by Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce and "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris occupy the No. 4 to No. 6 slots, respectively. At No. 8 is Justin Bieber's "Baby."

Jason Derulo returns to the top 10 with an 11-9 jump for "In My Head." The song last appeared in the upper tier three weeks ago. Closing out the top 10 is Young Money featuring Lloyd with "BedRock" (9-10).

Taking the Digital Gainer trophy for a second week is Miley Cyrus' "When I Look At You" (25-16), which posts a 44% download spike, also moving 12-10 on Digital Songs. No doubt a strong opening week box office gross (25.4 million in the U.S. and Canada) for Cyrus's picture "The Last Song," in which the song is featured, contributed to the uptick.
 
Usher, the man with the No. 1 album in the land posts the third-best Hot 100 debut of his career as "OMG," featuring will.i.am, opens at No. 14. His two prior best debuts were with his first two charting singles, "Nice & Slow" (No. 9) and "My Way" (No. 13) in 1998. "OMG" also launches at No. 7 on Digital Songs with 130,000 downloads.

Diddy-Dirty Money, the trio led by the ubiquitous entertainer/entrepreneur debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 34 with "Hello Good Morning."  A performance of the song by the act on the March 31 "American Idol" results show was timed with the track's digital release one day earlier, propelling the title to a high debut on this list and at No. 17 on Digital Songs (81,000).

Lady Gaga makes the list with a fourth track from "The Fame Monster" as her latest radio single "Alejandro" arrives at No. 72. The title also debuts on Pop Songs at No. 35, while digital downloads more than double to 24,000 (No. 71 on Digital Songs).

Rounding out the debuts are new titles from Travis McCoy featuring Bruno Mars (No. 92), the garment liberated Erykah Badu (No. 95) and Clay Walker (No. 99).

Sweet Exit Music: The 6 Greatest Moments of Shawn Michaels’ Career

 

Growing up I was a wrestling fan. Not ashamed in admitting that either. I mean, seriously, can you think of anything more manly than a couple of guys in speedos rolling around in a ring together?

However, I haven’t really been much of a fan in probably well over a decade. There’s probably several reasons why I became disinterested in the world of sports entertainment.
One was that I was just getting older, and realized how lame it could be at times. Another would be that childhood favorites were now either retired, dead, or a shell of their former selves. Finally, which could be the same for lots of fans, Vince McMahon gobbling up every other competitor, like WCW and ECW, just made the WWE predictable and boring.
That’s not to say that I would periodically check in, just for a trip down memory lane, or maybe to get a quick laugh.
Needless to say, I was kinda shocked and disappointed to hear that Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid, The Showstopper, Mr. WrestleMania, has hung up the proverbial boots.
Michaels was one of the few remaining wrestlers that had been around since the 80’s,  but rose to prominence in the 90’s, and continued a solid career into the 21st century.
After a back injury in 1997, it seemed like HBK was down for the count, and of course, the obvious pain med addiction to follow didn’t help his chances of a comeback. But, he did make that incredible comeback in 2002. While many of his peers became jokes, like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, he never missed a beat.
I was never a huge HBK fan, but he was amusing as hell, both in and out of the ring. His antics could usually make a fan crack a smile, while his performances could leave them in awe. Very scarce to find a guy with both of those attributes in the history of professional wrestling.
It took his retirement for me to realize that he is the best sports entertainer that there’s ever been.
Don’t believe me? I got six reasons why.
