Black Eyed Peas have now spent the last six months on top of the US singles chart.

Their track 'Boom Boom Pow' climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in April, notching up 12 weeks at number one before being replaced by the group's follow-up single 'I Gotta Feeling', which has remained at the summit until now.

Behind Black Eyed Peas, Jay Sean remains at two with 'Down', while Miley Cyrus holds steady at three with 'Party In The USA'.

Meanwhile, Cobra Starship's collaboration with Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester, 'Good Girls Go Bad', returns to the top ten this week.

Notable gains outside the top ten come from Lady GaGa, who leaps from 44 to 18 with 'Paparazzi', and Beyoncé, who climbs from 39 to 33 with 'Sweet Dreams'.

The top ten singles in full (click where possible for our reviews):

1. (1) Black Eyed Peas: 'I Gotta Feeling'
2. (2) Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne: 'Down'
3. (3) Miley Cyrus: 'Party In The USA'

Why have you copied a Digital Spy news story and copied it as a forum post??


Seems a bit lazy to me.........



Anyway six months at the helm for any band is pretty good........


How do the Americans work out their charts? is it still predominately air play?

Here is how americans work out their chart:

Example:
Monday, January 1 – sales tracking-week begins
Wednesday, January 3 – airplay tracking-week begins
Sunday, January 7 – sales tracking-week ends
Tuesday, January 9 – airplay tracking-week ends
Thursday, January 11 – new chart released, with issue date of Saturday, January 20.

That song was good for about a week, and then got overplayed in the UK and I got bored.

What is it with the US?
