Katy Perry's 'Firework' Shines Over Hot 100

Katy Perry becomes the first female artist in 11 years to take three straight radio singles from an album to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as "Firework" lifts 2-1. She first topped the chart in June for six weeks with "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg. That was followed by a two-week stay at the top in September with "Teenage Dream," the title track from her former No. 1 Billboard 200 set, which was recently bestowed a Grammy nomination for album of the year.

Monica was the last female to scale the Hot 100 with three consecutive radio cuts from one album, when title cut "The Boy Is Mine," featuring Brandy, "The First Night" and "Angel of Mine" all hit No. 1 between June 1998 and February 1999.

"Firework" is Perry's fourth overall Hot 100 No. 1, as she also led the list for seven weeks in the summer of 2008 with "I Kissed a Girl," her first chart entry.

"Firework's" ascension to No. 1 means that six different songs in the past six weeks have claimed the top Hot 100 ranking, extending a turnover ratio not seen in more than 20 years.

"Firework" sizzles at the top of Digital Songs for a second week with 212,000 downloads (down 9%), according to Nielsen SoundScan, while ranking as the week's top Airplay Gainer with a 12-8 lift on Radio Songs, up 25% to 83.3 million listener impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.

Last week's No. 1, P!nk's "Raise Your Glass," drops to No. 2, while Rihanna continues to climb back up the list (5-3) with her former chart-topper "What's My Name?," featuring Drake.

The Black Eyed Peas improve 9-4 with "The Time (Dirty Bit)" as the title moves into the runner-up slot on Digital Songs with 198,000 (up 10%). Their new album "The Beginning" starts at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, with 119,000.

Bruno Mars continues his upward trajectory with "Grenade" (10-5), while his "Just the Way You Are" slips 4-7. In between Mars's two tracks is Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)" (3-6).

Ke$ha stumbles 6-8 with "We R Who We R", Nelly falls 8-9 with "Just a Dream" and Trey Songz comes back into the top 10 with "Bottoms Up," featuring Nicki Minaj (11-10). The title has now spent seven weeks in the top 10.

"Glee" contributes to the Hot 100's Digital Gainer and Hot Shot Debut awards, as the cast's cover of Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" is the top new entry at No. 22, selling 98,000 (No. 8 on Digital Songs). The song is one of five new entries by the "Glee" Cast this week.

Meanwhile, Florence and the Machine's original recording jumps 58-21 on the Hot 100 and 40-11 on Digital Songs, matching its previous best peak on the former list and achieving a new peak rank on the latter, moving 90,000 downloads (up 121%). The song reached its previous best rank following the band's head-turning performance on the MTV Music Video Awards in September.

The holiday season is in full swing, as the chart hosts its first two seasonal entries, both by top-selling alternative bands. Coldplay opens at No. 25 on the Hot 100 and No. 12 on Digital Songs (90,000) with "Christmas Lights," while topping the Holiday Digital Songs chart with the track.

The Killers enter at No. 79 on the big chart and No. 43 on the sales list (34,000) with "Boots." The band has released a holiday single each year since 2006, with its first offering, "A Great Big Sled," having been the only one to have previously charted on the Hot 100 (No. 54 peak).

Rihanna debuts at No.3 with "Loud"; makes Billboard history with "Only Girl (In the World)"

That Rihanna reign just won’t let up. The pop siren has lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving after scoring her career best on the charts this week.

The red-haired singer swoops in at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 207,000 copies sold of her fifth album Loud, earning her a career best in first-week sales and her fifth top 10 bow.

Meanwhile, RiRi claims her ninth No. 1 single with “Only Girl (In the World),” a feat that puts her in prestigious territory. With the accomplishment, the Bajan crooner becomes the only artist since 2000 to have as many chart-topping singles, besting Usher who has scored eight No. 1s since the start of the decade. Not only that, but “Only Girl” becomes her fourth No. 1 single this year, making her the first female and first overall artist since Usher to nab as many No. 1 tracks in a year, according to Billboard.

She celebrated by sharing her excitement on Twitter. “Only Girl is no. 1!!! HOLY FUCK!!! And thx to u guys, I’ve had the biggest first week of all my albums so far! #whosloud ???? We are bitches,” she wrote. “Congrats to RihannaNavy! We breakin our OWN records!!! 9 no.1′s baby…We got the #CenturyOnLockWho’s badder than yall??”

After holding down the top spot two weeks ago, her second single “What’s My Name?” drops 7-8 on the Hot 100, while the Drake-assisted collaboration earns Airplay Gainer for the fourth consecutive week.

Keeping Rihanna company on the Billboard 200 is Scottish singer Susan Boyle, who bows at No. 1 with 335,000 copies sold of her holiday album The Gift, while Nelly’s 5.0 enters at No. 10 with 63,000 units.

Two weeks after topping the Billboard Hot 100 with "What's My Name?" (featuring Drake), Rihanna will return to No. 1 on the chart released Thursday (Nov. 25) with "Only Girl (In the World)," the debut single from her new album, "Loud."

It's the first time in Hot 100 history that an album's debut single reaches No. 1 after the second single does. "What's My Name" dips 7-8 on the Hot 100, though it does take the Airplay Gainer for a fourth straight week. "Loud, meanwhile, debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

"Only Girl" is Rihanna's fourth single to ascend to No. 1 in 2010, making her the first female, and first artist overall since Usher in 2004, to hit the top that many times in a single calendar year. Rihanna also moves to the forefront for most No. 1s in the millennium (since 2000), as "Only Girl" is her ninth track to lead the list. She had been tied with Usher for the past two weeks, with eight chart-toppers since 2000.

The latest "Glee" episode, titled "The Substitute," brings only a pair of titles by the cast onto the Hot 100, each one featuring guest vocals by Gwyneth Paltrow. Coming in at No. 11 as the Hot Shot Debut is the "Glee" Cast's version of Cee Lo Green's "Forget You," while "Singing in the Rain/Umbrella" debuts at No. 18.

After topping Digital Songs for the first time last week with its cover of "Teenage Dream," the ensemble goes for back-to back No. 1s, as "Forget You" debuts atop that chart with 192,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Rain/Umbrella" shifts 140,000, while Green's own "F**k You (Forget You)" is lifted into the top 10 of the Hot 100 for the first time, on the wings of the "Glee" Cast cover. The original recording, including its version with decidedly un-"Glee"-like language, is the top Digital Gainer, moving 191,000 (up 94%), a week after its previous best sale frame (98,000). The explicit version makes up 68% of the title's sales for this week.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100 top 10, P!nk celebrates the holiday week with a 4-2 lift for "Raise Your Glass," while Far*East Movement seems to have exhausted its No. 1 run, dropping to No. 3 after three non-consecutive weeks.

Ke$ha rebounds 6-4 with "We R Who We R," which debuted at No. 1 three weeks ago due to a huge opening week sales frame. Nelly's "Just a Dream" spends an eighth consecutive week in the top five, holding at No. 5.

Katy Perry streaks to No. 6 with "Firework," with the track showing a steady upward trajectory in its five weeks on the list (57-29-10-9-6). Bruno Mars dips 3-7 with "Just The Way You Are," while follow-up single "Grenade" explodes 30-17, improving more than 50% in both sales (up 58% to 100,000 downloads) and audience (up 51% to 37.1 million impressions). Rounding out the top 10 is Trey Songz, who holds onto the anchor spot for a second week.

Dr. Dre makes his first chart appearance as a lead act in more than 10 years, as "Kush," featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon debuts at No. 48. The song moved 45,000 during a partial week of sales. The last time the rap icon appeared on the list with his own track was when "The Next Episode" peaked at No. 23 in July 2000.

Akon also assists another chart legend this week, aiding Michael Jackson on the King of Pop's 48th Hot 100 hit, "Hold My Hand," which debuts at No. 84. Akon also appeared on Jackson's last charting effort, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008," which peaked at No. 81 in February of that year. Jackson's new track sold 19,000 in less than three days of availability as it reached digital retailers on Friday, Nov. 19.

Pink performs at the AMAs

Rihanna and Christina Aguilera talk about AMA performances

Rihanna is set to prove she's the only girl in the world when she takes the stage at the American Music Awards on Sunday. The Loud singer will be the show's opening act and says that despite some recent big awards-show performances, à la this month's MTV Europe Music Awards, this one will be even more epic.

"We're actually performing at the AMAs. We're actually opening up the show, which is a lot of pressure," she told MTV News about the performance. "But I love a challenge and I can't wait."

Rihanna hinted to us that she might be singing the Loud track "Cheers (Drink to That)," but didn't confirm the selection. She did, however, admit to being nervous about all of the airtime she's been given.

"They gave me nine minutes to do whatever I want and I can't wait," she shared. "That's a long time on an awards show, but it's going to be exciting. I can't wait. I can't wait to do it. I really can't."

The executives behind the AMAs are equally thrilled about Rih's upcoming performance. "We could not be more excited to officially announce one of pop music's biggest stars to open the celebration at the AMAs," AMA producer Larry Klein said in a statement. "Be sure to tune in so you don't miss this surely memorable moment."

In addition to being the show's opener, Rihanna is also nominated for Favorite Female Artist along with Alicia Keys and Sade. Other big performers include Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, the Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block and Christina Aguilera, who'll perform a number from her upcoming movie, "Burlesque."

The American Music Awards are known for their high-octane performances, and this year is no exception, with Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Kid Rock, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Pink, Usher, Ne-Yo, Diddy and more set to hit the stage.

Christina Aguilera will also be performing, doing a number from her upcoming movie "Burlesque." When MTV News caught up with the Grammy winner/ movie newbie recently, while doing press with her hunky "Burlesque" co-star Cam Gigandet, we asked her what fans can expect from her AMA performance.

"It's going to be fantastic," she said. "And it will give you a fitting little look inside the movie."

Aguilera said her saucy, burlesque-style dancing will set her performance apart from past appearances.

"It will be another very new challenge for me," Aguilera admitted. "My legs have been incredibly sore as I stepped into the role of Ali for this." In the film, Aguilera plays a small-town girl with big dreams — Ali — who stumbles on a burlesque club owned by the feisty Tess (Cher).

Aguilera added that, while re-learning the dance routines was grueling, the choreography is amazing. "You're going to get quite the show," she promised. "Quite the spectacle."

While Aguilera is new to the world of acting, Cher told MTV News that the pop star can dish it out with the best of them. "The scenes that she and I had together, I really enjoyed, and I really believe that she's got definite chops," she said. "We worked well together. I enjoyed all of it, and she was toe-to-toe with me the whole time."

New P!nk song

Bruno Mars Holds at No. 1 on Hot 100, Taylor Swift Sets Debut Record

Bruno Mars remains at No. 1 for a fourth week on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Just the Way You Are," aided by a surge to the top (2-1) on Radio Songs (139.5 million listener impressions, up 9%).

"Just the Way You Are," which led Hot Digital Songs for two non-consecutive weeks over the past month, shifts 180,000 downloads (up 1%), though it falls 2-3 on the sales tally. The song has moved 1.697 million units since its release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Mars also debuts at No. 82 on the Hot 100 with "The Lazy Song," from his top 10 debuting album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans."

Making a splash into the top 10 is Taylor Swift, who opens at No. 8 with "Speak Now," the title track from her upcoming Oct. 25 album release. Swift's arrival gives her the mark for most top 10 debuts in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, as "Speak Now" is her sixth title to enter the chart's top tier. That total surpasses the five top 10 entries earned by Mariah Carey from 1995-98. Swift's first top 10 debut was with "Change," in August 2008.

"Speak Now" shifts 217,000 to open at No. 2 on Hot Digital Songs, down from the 325,000 moved for lead-off radio track, "Mine," in August. The iTunes digital countdown to "Speak Now" will result in two more tracks impacting the chart the next two weeks, with "Back to December" on deck.

Far*East Movement remains at No. 2 on the Hot 100 with "Like A G6" and at No. 1 on Hot Digital Songs (221,000, up 2%). Moving up a slot to No. 3 is Nelly's "Just a Dream," which swaps spots with Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream."

"DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love," by Usher featuring Pitbull, holds at No. 5, while Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)" whips 8-6 as the Airplay Gainer (80.7 million listener impressions, up 25%). Falling 6-7 is Taio Cruz's "Dynamite."

Closing out the top 10 are "Club Can't Handle Me" by Flo Rida featuring David Guetta (10-9) and "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem featuring Rihanna (7-10).

Kanye West claims his third-best Hot 100 debut as a lead artist, as "Runaway" opens at No. 12. Only "Heartless" (No. 2) and "Love Lockdown" have had better starts. "Runaway's" placement is owed to a No. 4 start on Digital Songs (174,000). It is West's best sales week since "Heartless" shifted 211,000 in January 2009.

The Band Perry's "If I Die Young" surges up the Hot 100 (45-27) to a new peak position as the Digital Gainer (up 60% to 50,000), with its best single-week sales sum yet. The trio's self-titled album is set to debut next week.

After setting a one-week high of six debuts a week ago, the "Glee" cast ups that count by one with seven new entries this week, led by their cover of the Beatles' first No. 1 Hot 100 hit from 1964, "I Want to Hold Your Hand.," at No. 36. The song sells 69,000 downloads to open at No. 15 on Digital Songs.

P!nk toasts another debut with "Raise Your Glass" at No. 51. The track introduces "Greatest Hits…So Far!!!," due Nov. 16, and starts strong simultaneously at radio (No. 42 debut on Radio Songs with 26.7 million listener impressions) and at retail (No. 59 on Digital Songs, 26,000).

Other notable debuts include A Rocket to the Moon's "Like We Use To" at No. 91, "Stereo Love" by Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina at No. 93, David Guetta and Kid Cudi's "Memories" at No. 94 and "Loca" by Shakira at No. 98. The latter song was recorded in both Spanish and English with El Cata providing featured vocals on the former and Dizzee Rascal on the latter.

Pink Drops New Single 'Raise Your Glass' Off Upcoming Greatest-Hits Album

Pink is set to remind fans of her biggest tracks in her decade-long career on her forthcoming greatest-hits album, the aptly titled Greatest Hits ... So Far!!!, due out November 16. And because she's not one to rest on her very acrobatic laurels, she will include two new tracks on the album too.

The album's lead single will be the Max Martin-produced, Pink-co-written track "Raise Your Glass." The song, which her label describes as "rousing" and "celebratory," hits radio on Tuesday (October 5) at 6 p.m. and will be available for purchase on October 18.

"GUESS WHATTT!!! I have a surprise for you tomorrow at 6pm EST. But you have to go to http://www.pinkspage.com to find out what it is...," the singer tweeted on Monday. And on Saturday, she teased the single's release, writing, "Allllrrriiiiigggghhhhhhtttttttt!!!!!!!! My new song comes out to radio next week, and it is called....... Drum roll please ... 'Raise Your Glass' !!!!! I sure hope you like it. I like it enough for all of us. It's for all my underdogs."

In addition to the two new tracks, the album will include radio favorites like "Get the Party Started, "There You Go," "Don't Let Me Get Me," "Just Like a Pill," "Family Portrait," "Trouble," "Stupid Girls," "Who Knew," "U + Ur Hand" and "Dear Mr. President," as well as newer Pink tracks "So What," "Sober," "Please Don't Leave Me" and "Glitter in the Air."

The deluxe version of the album, which will also be available the day the album comes out, will also include two additional songs: "Funhouse" and "I Don't Believe You," both off her smash 2008 release, Funhouse.
