At the top of the charts, an interesting battle between two of the top female pop/rock singers of the past couple of years. Sara Bareilles moves 2-1 with "King of Anything," scoring her third No. 1 (after "Love Song" and "Love on the Rocks") in the past three years. But right behind her is Katy Perry, hoping to earn her third No. 1 in the past three years with "Teenage Dream." This week, the follow-up to "California Gurls" sprints 11-2.
Of this week's three debuts, country singer Trace Adkins has the highest, with "Between the Rainbows and the Rain" at No. 36. It's a track from his new release, "Cowboy's Back in Town," and it becomes his first Top 40 crossover since 2007. That's when "I Wanna Feel Something" went to No. 3 for two weeks.
Nelly enters at No. 37 with his latest, "Just a Dream." With hits such as "Dilemma" (featuring Kelly Rowland), "My Place" (featuring Jaheim) and "Over and Over" (featuring Tim McGraw) all falling during the period when my charts were inactive, this marks only his second Top 40 appearance. In late 2006, shortly after the charts restarted, his collaboration with Janet Jackson, "Call on Me," went to No. 17.
"Wake Up Everybody," a classic from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, with Teddy Pendergrass on lead, still sounds fresh 34 years later. Nevertheless, it's spawned a remake by John Legend and The Roots, with guest appearances by Melanie Fiona and Common. The remake debuts at No. 38.
Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull both have two songs in the Top 15 this week. Their collaboration, "I Like It," moves 16-14. Sandwiching it are Iglesias' collaboration with Akon on "One Day at a Time" (14-13) and Pitbull's teamup with Usher, "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" (17-15).
