Bruno mars, katy perry lead U.S. Singles chart

NEW YORK (Billboard) – Bruno Mars
likes things just the way they are
atop Billboard's Hot 100 singles
chart, as "Just The Way You Are"
held at No. 1 for a second week on
Thursday.
Katy Perry's former chart-topper
"Teenage Dream" rebounded two
places to No. 2, squeezing Eminem's
former chart champ "Love the Way
You Lie" down one to No. 3.
Moving up one spot each were "DJ
Got Us Fallin' in Love" by Usher (No.
4) and Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" (No.
5). At No. 6, appropriately enough,
was "Like a G6," by Far*East
Movement featuring Cataracs &
Dev, which rose four places.
Nelly's "Just a Dream" rose one to
No. 7, Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the
World)" slid five to No. 8, Enrique
Iglesias "I Like It" dropped two to
No. 9, and Flo Rida's "Club Can't
Handle Me" slipped one to No. 10.
The Glee Cast returned to the Hot
100 for another season of melodic
remakes and high debuts -- five, to
be exact. The show sold 409,000
total downloads of the songs made
available from the September 21
season premiere, according to
Nielsen SoundScan. That's up 53%
from the 267,000 sold for the
handful of tracks released after the
first season's second-half premiere
in May.
The Glee Cast's rendition of Jay-Z
and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of
Mind" was the chart's top debut at
No. 21, followed in order by
"Telephone" (No. 23),
"Billionaire" (No. 28), "Listen" (No.
38) and "What I Did for Love" (No.
51).
"Empire State of Mind" (106,000)
and "Telephone" (102,000) become
the fifth and sixth Glee Cast tracks
to surpass 100,000 downloads in a
single week, following "Don't Stop
Believin'" (177,000), "Jessie's
Girl" (105,000), "Poker
Face" (109,000) and "Total Eclipse
of the Heart" (134,000).
The highest non-Glee debut
belonged to Akon with "Angel" (No.
62). Also new to the chart were
Jesse McCartney's "Shake" (No. 90),
"Loving You No More" by Diddy-
Dirty Money featuring Drake (No.
91), and Mike Posner's "Please
Don't Go" (No. 94).
The arrival of Maroon 5's "Hands All
Over" at No. 2 on the Billboard 200
album chart, and the
accompanying promotion
surrounding the release, propeled
lead single "Misery" to a new Hot
100 peak (No. 14) and weekly sales
high (71,000). In addition, album
cut "Stutter" debuts at No. 84
(31,000).
