This new number 1 song jumps in from #23 due to its availability as a digital download. This song samples the classic song "Stand By Me," giving that song's writers--Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller--an almost 51 year span from their first Number 1 song, which was "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley back in 1956. This is the longest span of Number 1 hits for songwriters in the Rock Era.
From Chart Beat Chat: Sean Kingston's surprise debut hit "Beautiful Girls" brings a familiar topic to the No. 1 spot - girls! This is the
19th No. 1 song to have the word "girl" in its title. There are only eight songs that feature the word "boy" in its title, so it's obvious girls are more popular to be sung about. Here's a list of all the No. 1 songs that have used "girl" in its title:

"Go Away Little Girl" (Steve Lawrence)
"My Girl" (The Temptations)
