Still an amazing run so congratz!! “Blah Blah Blah” remains at #11 at this week’s Billboard Hot 100 so keep buying and requesting Ke$ha’s new single!

Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” holds off the impressive arrival of charity single “We Are the World 25: For Haiti” by Artists for Haiti to remain at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a ninth consecutive week.

“TiK ToK” has now persevered over a pair of No. 2-debuting songs during its No. 1 run. Just three weeks ago, Taylor Swift’s “Today Was a Fairytale” opened in the runner-up slot. Meanwhile, Ke$ha’s second single “Blah Blah Blah,” featuring 3OH!3 is the Hot 100’s Digital Gainer (up 35,000 downloads) and jumps 22-11.

“We Are the World 25: For Haiti’s” arrival pushes the Black Eyed Peas’ “Imma Be” down 2-3, while Young Money’s “BedRock” featuring Lloyd holds solid at No. 4, as does Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” at No. 5. (…)

Nearly 25 years after hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, charity single “We Are the World” makes its way back to chart, debuting at No. 2, thanks to the all-star collective Artists for Haiti. “World” trails Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK,’ which holds at No. 1 for a ninth straight week. (…)

F*ck Ye$!!! Congratz K$!

Ke$ha’s hot start hasn’t let up yet: “TiK ToK” stayed firmly planted at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 for the eighth straight week. The Animal singer is now the first female artist since 1977 to have her debut single spend that much time consecutively atop the Hot 100, Reuters reports, with Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” the last single to accomplish it. Boone’s debut single spent 10 weeks at Number One, so “TiK ToK” needs another three weeks at the top before another record is shattered.

It seems like only two tracks stand a chance of unseating “TiK ToK,” starting with Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Know,” which jumped from Number Eight to Number Three, marking the first time a country music band has made the Top Three since Lonestar’s “Amazed” in 2000. The other contender: The all-star 25th anniversary recording of “We Are the World,” which benefits Haiti relief efforts. That track, featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye West, the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and dozens more, will debut tonight during NBC’s broadcast of the Winter Olympics’ Opening Ceremony.

Ke$ha claims the longest running No. 1 debut single by a female artist on the Billboard Hot 100 since 1977 as “TiK ToK” holds steady for an eighth week. 33 years ago, Debby Boone took her maiden Hot 100 appearance, “You Light Up My Life” to No. 1 for 10 weeks.

Many artists parlay Grammy appearances and/or award victories into chart wins, including the Black Eyed Peas, who move to No. 1 on Digital Songs and 4-2 on the Hot 100 with “Imma Be.” The song moves 236,000 downloads (up 33%) to become the act’s fifth No. 1 on the digital list, the most by a group in the chart’s five year history. In addition, the Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” rebounds 16-9 on the Hot 100, the song’s 22nd week in the top 10. (…)

‘TIK TOK’ ON THE CLOCK: Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” spends a seventh week atop the Hot 100, becoming one of just three maiden Hot 100 entries by a lead solo female to reign for such a length since 1977.

Ke$ha’s introductory hit equals the stays at No. 1 of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” (2008) and Ciara’s “Goodies” (2004).

If the party don’t stop (to employ “TiK ToK” grammar), and Ke$ha can remain at the apex for three more weeks, the song will match the longest span in charge for a female artist’s first Hot 100 single. Debby Boone dominated for 10 weeks with “You Light Up My Life” beginning Oct. 15, 1977.

(Ashanti and Beyonce inked longer runs at No. 1 with their first titles as lead acts – “Foolish” (2002) and “Crazy in Love” (2003) – but each performer had charted first in featured roles. In her first trip up the Hot 100, Kelly Rowland enjoyed a 10-week reign as a featured artist on Nelly’s “Dilemma” in 2002). (…)

In the chart’s upper ranks, Ke$ha clocks a seventh week at No. 1 with “TiK ToK.” The song leads Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay for a second week (130 million audience impressions) and rebounds for a sixth week atop Digital Songs (200,000 downloads).

Lady Gaga maintains pole position on Billboard’s European Albums chart with “The Fame” (Interscope/Universal), but loses out to a new female frontrunner on European Hot 100 Singles, as her “Bad Romance” is replaced at No. 1 by Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” (RCA/Sony Music Entertainment).

(…)

Ke$ha’s chart-topping debut European singles chart success makes up for a close shave last year, when the hit she guested on, Flo-Rida’s “Right Round” (Atlantic/Warner Music), spent seven consecutive weeks at No. 2 on European Hot 100 Singles, held off the top by Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.”

“Tik Tok,” which peaked at No. 4 in the United Kingdom four weeks ago, now spends a third week at No. 1 in Austria, Switzerland and Wallony, and a second in Germany. It debuts at No. 2 in France, holds at No. 6 in Italy and climbs 11-9 in Spain.

A week after Lady Gaga set a milestone mark on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio airplay chart, Ke$ha rewrites the record.

Last week, Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” made chart history for logging the most weekly plays in the 17-year archives of the tally, as the cut registered 10,859 plays in the tracking week of Jan. 11-17, according to Nielsen BDS.

This week, Ke$ha’s debut RCA Music Group smash “TiK ToK” claims both the summit from “Bad Romance” – the tracks swap places at Nos. 1 and 2 – and establishes a new weekly plays highpoint, totaling 11,224 detections in the tracking week of Jan. 18-24.
