U.S. Chart Roundup: Screw Taylor Swift—Ke$ha Has Landed Her Second #1 Hit

Now, some people will tell you the big chart news this week is Taylor Swift's third album Speak Now selling just over a million copies out of the gate, more than enough to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and post the best sales week for an LP since 50 Cent's The Massacre, back in March 2005. But those people would be wrong.

No, pop chyldryn—the real news this week is the fact that Ke$ha's latest lyrical blessing, "We R Who We R," has debuted at the top of the Hot 100 single chart. I know, I know—I had to ask myself if this was just Jesus in disguise returning to our mortal plane, too.

This gives Ke$ha a second chart-topping hit after "Tik Tok," and it also makes her sixth Top 10 single (I'm including "My First Kiss," her pairing with the new Lennon-McCartney, 3OH!3). And start curling your toes—the Angelic Queen Of Soul's mini album Cannibal is out on November 22. God bless America!

Another poetic masterpiece makes great gains this week, as 10-year-old Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" jumps from #78 to #11. Elsewhere, Chris Brown's overly-poppy single "Yeah 3X" debuts at #33. (Who let him back into the club?)

Other than that, basically #34 through #100 consists of new tracks from Taylor Swift's Speak Now that lonely teen girls from Kansas who will never get sex are downloading.

So have I mentioned Shayne Ward is on the cover of Gay Times in a wet T-shirt?
