Cyrus scores Hot 100 best; Peas, Mraz make history
The Black Eyed Peas and Jason Mraz have made history on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, while Miley Cyrus and Jay-Z entered the list's top 10.
With a combined 20 weeks at No. 1 for current chart topper I Gotta Feeling and previous No. 1 Boom Boom Pow, the Black Eyed Peas have broken the record for the longest stay for an act atop the chart. The previous record-holder was Usher, who had a 19-week run in 2004 with Yeah! and Burn.
Singer-songwriter Mraz's I'm Yours notched its 70th week on the Hot 100. Thanks to 4.4 million total downloads and airplay on top 40, adult top 40, adult contemporary and triple-A (adult alternative album) radio, I'm Yours beat LeAnn Rimes' How Do I Live for the song with the longest life on the singles chart.
Crashing the party is Cyrus, whose Party in the U.S.A., debuted at No. 2 for her best-ever ranking on the chart. The song previews Cyrus' Walmart exclusive CD, The Time of Our Lives, due August 31.
Following Cyrus at No. 3 is Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West's Run This Town, from Jay-Z's upcoming The Blueprint 3 album. The trio is slated to perform Run This Town on the inaugural episode of The Jay Leno Show September 14.
