LA, Oct 23: "Baby Boy" from Beyonce and Sean Paul hangs on for a fifth-straight week atop Billboard's Hot 100, fending off a threat from Ludacris' "Stand Up" featuring Shawnna. The latter jumps 4-2, a peak it reaches in its ninth week on the chart. "Stand Up" has slightly better luck in pure urban markets, swapping places with "Baby Boy" on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks tally with a 2-1 gain.
On crossover and mainstream radio, however, Beyonce still reigns supreme, as "Baby Boy" leads the Rhythmic Top 40 chart, published by Billboard sister publication Airplay Monitor, for a sixth week in a row. The track has also had a hold on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart for fifth-straight week. Also making gains on the Hot 100 is "Damn!" from YoungBloodZ featuring Lil Jon, which is up 5-4, and Chingy's "Holidae In," which scoots 9-7. "Holidae In," featuring Snoop Dogg and Ludacris, is the Hot 100's fastest-growing track at radio, while Chingy's other top-10 single, "Right Thurr," drops one to No. 8.

OutKast's two-CD Arista set "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" has spawned a pair of singles, and both are soaring up the Hot 100. While sold as a package, the new album collects a solo album each from the duo of Big Boi and Andre 3000. "The Way You Move," from Big Boi and Sleepy Brown, flies 21-12, while Andre 3000's "Hey Ya!" rockets 41-25.
