Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” keeps the lead on the Billboard Hot 100 as the track holds tight at No. 1 for a fourth non-consecutive week. This week’s biggest airplay gainer, Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” featuring Static Major, follows suit, gripping No. 2 for second week. Jordin Sparks’ “No Air” featuring Chris Brown stays at No. 3 for a third.
Usher’s “Love in This Club” featuring Young Jeezy climbs a notch 5-4 as Ray J & Yung Berg’s “Sexy Can I” ascends 6-5.

Natasha Bedingfield scores her second Hot 100 top 10 ink as “Pocketful of Sunshine” zooms up 19-8. The British singer performed the track on last week’s “American Idol,” causing a 110% jump in digital sales to make the track this week’s biggest digital sales gainer.
Meanwhile, Sara Bareilles’ “Love Song” falls 8-9 as Jesse McCartney’s “Leavin'” scores a new peak moving 14-10, his first top 10 as an artist. However, you can see McCartney’s name in association with Lewis’ “Bleeding Love,” as a co-writer of that single.
