Billboard Breakdown

A look at this week's Top-10 singles.

Written by: Steven H., Senior Editor – Posted: Fri Jul 11th, 2008

A couple spots down from number one is Lil Wayne, whose unexpected single "Lollipop" featuring Static Major is still doing its thing after rocking the number one spot for a couple of weeks. If you haven't gotten sick of that autotune sound, chances are you still love this electronically-blessed rap number. Can't get enough of that Lil Wayne sound? Well, it seems like most people haven't, being that in its fourth week, The Carter III is back on the top of the album charts with over 150,000 copies sold. Be sure to listen to the T-Pain-assisted next single "Got Money" to get a head start on what's to come.

Then there are the two songs that tie for having been on the charts for the longest amount of time (21 weeks): Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" and Natasha Beddingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine." To be quite honest, these songs have pretty much run their course over the past couple of months and could fall from the charts to make room for other artists, but you can't really hold that against them. Radio and its listeners still can't get enough of those tracks, so as long as there's a large group of people who want to hear these jams, you're going to have to deal with their presence on your stereo.
