NEW YORK (Reuters):
The same week she debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with the album As I Am, Alicia Keys assumed control of the Billboard Hot 100 with No One, which inched up from number two.
The track sold 210,000 downloads, an 88 per cent increase from the previous week.
On the Hot 100, No One traded places with Chris Brown's Kiss Kiss, featuring T-Pain, which had been number one for three weeks. Timbaland's Apologize, featuring OneRepublic, held at number 3, while newcomer Flo Rida's Low, featuring T-Pain, continued to climb from number six to number four, one week after rocketing from number 64.
Colbie Caillat's Bubbly remained number five, Soulja Boy's Crank That (Soulja Boy) was down from fourth spot to number six, and Kanye West's Good Life, featuring T-Pain, stayed at number seven. Fergie's Clumsy jumped from number 12 to number eight, making her the first female artiste since Paul Abdul in 1989 and 1990 to take five songs from a debut album into the top 10.
Baby Bash's Cyclone, featuring T-Pain, was down one rung to number nine, and West's Stronger rounded out the top 10, sliding from number nine to the tenth position.
The Hot 100's top debut was Celine Dion's Taking Chances at number 54. It's her first appearance on the singles chart since 2003's I Drove All Night, and nine years to the week since her last No. 1, I'm Your Angel, with R. Kelly, hit the top.
