`Baby Boy` turns six on hot 100 singles chart
LA, Oct 31: Beyonce`s `Baby Boy` featuring Sean Paul leads Billboard`s Hot 100 singles chart for the sixth-straight week.
If Ludacris isn't able to overtake "Baby Boy" in crossover and mainstream markets with "Stand Up," he'll have another chance as a guest on Chingy's "Holidae In." Also featuring Snoop Dogg, the cut jumps 7-3 on the Hot 100. This ties the mark reached by Chingy's first single, "Right Thurr," which is currently No. 13.
Also reaching a new peak on the Hot 100 this week is 3 Doors Down's "Here Without You," up one to No. 5. This is the rock act's third top-5 single, following 2002's "Kyptonite" (No. 3) and this year's "When I'm Gone" (No. 4).
New to the Hot 100's top-10 this week is OutKast's "The Way You Move" featuring Sleepy Brown, which scoots 12-10. Close behind with a 25-15 gain is the duo's "Hey Ya!" Both singles are from OutKast's two-CD set "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" (Arista), which collects a solo album each from the duo of Big Boi and Andre 3000.
The Hot 100's fastest-growing track at retail is Jagged Edge's "Walked Outta Heaven," up this week 17-14. But it's MercyMe's "I Can Only Imagine" that is the top-selling single in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, topping Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart for the fourth week in a row.
G-Unit, which consists of rappers 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and the incarcerated Tony Yayo, has the fastest-growing track at radio on both the Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. On the Hot 100, the group's "Stunt 101" bolts 80-47 in its second week on the chart, and moves 27-21 on the urban tally. G-Unit's debut album, "Beg for Mercy," will be released Nov. 18 in the U.S. via Interscope.
