Drake follows at number three with “Best I Ever Had,” while Keri Hilson remains at number four with “Knock You Down” featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo. Kings of Leon hold steady at number five with “Use Somebody,” while Jay Sean “Down” featuring Lil Wayne remains at number six. Cobra Starship’ “Good Girls Go Bad” featuring Leighton Meester rises three notches to number seven, Sean Kingston falls one spot to number eight with “Fire Burning” and Pitbull scores his second top ten hit with “Hotel Room Service” at number nine. The Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” drops two spots to number ten. Elsewhere, Shakira’s “She Wolf” jumps eight spots to number 13. Selena Gomez scores the highest debut this week as “Magic” comes in at number 61. Madonna’s “Celebration” debuts at number 71, while Whitney Houston’s “I Look To You” arrives at number 74.
