Usher makes it two weeks in a row at the top, and the way "Love In The Club" sounds, it may stay at the top for some time. This song is now receving local airplay.

Ray J and Yung Berg barge into the Top 10 (up from #13) with a catchy little ditty unusually called "Sexy Can I". Just heard it played on the radio yesterday, and the lyrics are as explicit as the melody is bouncy, much like the typical R&B/Rap combo hits.

Elsewhere on the chart, Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body" and Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" make the major moves up. "Touch" is now at #16 from #24 last week, while "Bleeding" climbs another 20 notches to #21. Both of these songs are also very popular on local radio now.

I'm glad to see that Daughtry's "Feels Like Tonight" made the Top 40 at least. This track is now at #37, on its 7th week. This is my favorite track from his debut album.

At #88 we see the Top Debut of the week and it belongs to a name we have not seen on the chart for a long while since 2005 -- Ashanti (in this recent picture with "good friend" Nelly). Her new hit is (somewhat generically) called "The Way That I Love You." Let us see if this song can bring Ashanti back into the top tiers where she dominated in the early turn of this century. Her newest album "The Declaration" is due out this June.
