Ke$ha leads pop charts for second week

New York: Rookie pop singer Ke$ha leads Billboard`s Hot 100 singles chart for a second week with "TiK ToK" while setting the record for most single-week downloads by a female artist (610,000).

The prior mark was set by Lady Gaga`s "Just Dance" (419,000) exactly a year ago. Gaga surpasses that sum as well with "Bad Romance" selling 445,000 downloads this week, good enough for No 3. Iyaz`s "Replay" jumped two places to No 2. Former No. 1 "Fireflies" by Owl City rebounded one to No 4, while recent chart-topper "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z + Alicia Keys fell three to No 5. Jason Derulo`s "Whatcha Say" (No 6) and Jay Sean`s "Down" (No 7) each moved up a slot. Miley Cyrus` "Party in the USA" returned to the top 10 after a six-week break, soaring 11 places to No 8. "Sexy Chick" by David Guetta featuring Akon slid three to No 9. "Do You Remember," featuring Sean Paul & Lil Jon, jumped four places to a new high of No 10, breaking a three-week streak of no titles moving into the top 10. Disney starlet Selena Gomez enjoyed some holiday download benefits as she and her accompanying band The Scene scored the chart`s top debut at No 39 with "Naturally." They also re-entered the Hot 100 at No 92 with "Falling Down." Bureau Report
