As mentioned in an earlier blog entry in August, it was said that UK R&B singer Jay Sean was about to break through in a big way, with his song "Down."
Well, I hate to say I told you so, but his single has just moved into the #2 slot on this week's Billboard Hot 100, just behind the Black Eyed Peas' long-running #1 "I Gotta Feeling." For the past 4 weeks the song has been awarded the Greatest Gainer in Sale and Airplay Award, which could be an indicator that it will be the song to break the Peas' ridiculous run of 22 consecutive weeks at #1.
Coming in at #3 this week is Miley Cyrus with "Party in the USA," which has become her biggest hit to date. The rest of the top 5 is rounded out by the Kings of Leon who's "Use Somebody" reaches a new peak of #4, and Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" which falls to #5.
Here is the Top 10 singles in the country this week:
1. Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling"
2. Jay Sean Featuring Lil Wayne "Down"
3. Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA"
4. Kings of Leon "Use Somebody"
5. Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me"
6. Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West "Run This Town"
7. Drake "Best I Ever Had"
8. Keri Hilson Featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo "Knock You Down"
9. Pitbull "Hotel Room"
10. Cobra Starship Featuring Leighton Meester "Good Girls Go Bad"

This song is pretty good, I didn't like it at first but now it is growing on me.
