Katy Perry Rules The Singles Chart Again…..

Katy Perry’s latest hit is ruling the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart marked a second consecutive week at No. 1.

The last song to spend successive frames at the top of the Hot 100 was “Like a G6,” by Far*East Movement in late-October.

One of those former No. 1s, “What’s My Name?” by Rihanna featuring Drake, was also angling for a second shot at glory by rising one place to No. 2 on the heels of strong radio airplay. The R&B starlet held at No. 6 with “Only Girl (In the World).”

Bruno Mars moved two places to No. 3 with “Grenade.” His former No. 1, “Just the Way You Are,” held at No. 7. Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” dropped two to No. 4, while Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” inched it’s way to No. 5.

“The Time (Dirty Bit)” by The Black Eyed Peas slid four places to No. 8, Nelly’s “Just a Dream” remained steady at No. 9, and “Bottoms Up” by Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj held at No. 10.

Jailed rapper T.I. claimed the top debut as “That’s All She Wrote” came in at No. 18. The tune comes from his new album “No Mercy,” which debuted at a disappointing No. 4 on the Billboard 200 on Wednesday.

This sounds about right, do you agree??

Nelly Offers Reward To Find Burglar

The rapper Nelly is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man who broke into his suburban St. Louis home earlier this month.

CrimeStoppers announced the reward on Monday.

Someone forced his way through a locked window at Nelly’s Wildwood home in the early hours of Dec. 11 and got away with a duffel bag full of items that included electronics and other goods.

Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr., was not home at the time. Police say one of three occupants saw and confronted the intruder, a male in his 20s or 30s.

No one was injured.

Nelly Furtado To Release New English Pop Album

According to The Prophet Blog, Nelly Furtado is set to release her fourth English album on May 25th, 2010.

Furtado says:

“I think just generally it’s still going to be pop but I want it to have a more light energy. Sort of like my first album, but not sonically, more in a spiritual sense… more like my first album.

“I don’t know if it’s going to be the same sound [as Loose] but I have worked a little bit with Timbaland who produced that album so it might have some of the same fun and energy, but not like exactly the same.”

Furtado is also said to be working with Ryan Tedder and Salaam Remi on the new album.

WEDDING BELLS FOR ASHANTI AND NELLY?

 

R&B star Ashanti has hinted she will marry her rapper lover Nelly in 2009.

Just four months after the couple went public with its four year romance, the singer has confessed she is planning to walk down the aisle with Nelly. When asked if wedding bells were on the horizon for her, the Happy hit-maker tells Us Weekly, “Absolutely. It’s in the cards for me. I believe that I have a couple more things I need to do before that happens.”

However Ashanti urges fans not to believe all the gossip that’s written about her and Nelly – despite the media correctly predicting their relationship, years before they admitted it to the world.

She adds, “I should have had six or seven kids, been married three times and secretly engaged now. But none of it’s true.”
