The song has now spent seven weeks at No. 3 on the Hot 100, matching H-Town's "Knockin' Da Boots" (1993) for the most frames tallied at No. 3 for a song that rose as high as the chart's bronze medal rank. Only Real McCoy's "Another Night" (11 weeks, 1994-95) and LL Cool J's "Hey Lover" (eight, 1995-96) spent more time peaking at No. 3.

 

LMFAO struts 6-4 on the Hot 100 with "Sexy and I Know It." The song jumps 5-3 on Digital Songs (182,000, up 13%) and 27-19 on Radio Songs (51 million, up 28%). The duo's former six-week No. 1 "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, meanwhile, descends 5-6. The tracks sandwich Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts," featuring Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, which retreats 4-5 on the Hot 100 but advances 7-4 on Radio Songs (96 million, up 10%). "Hearts" rises 7-6 on Digital Songs, although with a 5% decline to 133,000.

 

After she roared to her 20th Hot 100 top 10 last week, reaching the milestone faster than any other solo artist in the chart's history, Rihanna's "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, bumps 9-7. The first single from "Talk That Talk," due Nov. 21, charges 39-23 on Radio Songs, up 36% to 44 million. The cut ascends 6-5 on Digital Songs (144,000, down 2%).

The song flies 47-15 on Digital Songs with 61,000 downloads sold, up 103%. Budding airplay sends it 74-60 on Radio Songs (21 million, up 41%).

The English singer/songwriter previously rose as high as No. 49 with her introductory effort "Smile" in 2007.
