After a record-breaking 97-1 leap on the Billboard Hot 100 last week, Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" stays put on the top spot this week. The song also becomes her fastest top 20 hit on the Hot 100 Airplay tally, where it moves up 38-19.
 
Beyonce's former chart-topper "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" rebounds 3-2, pushing Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" featuring Colby O'Donis down 2-4. Kanye West's "Heartless" climbs to a new peak as it moves 4-3.
 
Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and the All-American Rejects' "Gives You Hell" keep their spots warm and No. 5 and No. 6, respectively. The Fray's "You Found Me" ascends 8-7, trading places with T.I.'s "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna, while Britney Spears' "Circus" holds tight to No. 9 for a second week. Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours" rounds out the top tier, remaining No. 10 for a second week.
