Geez, it was only a year ago that Britney Spears kicked off her cleaned-up comeback by nabbing only her second #1 single, "Womanizer," in her 10-year career. And now pop's Energizer Bunny has landed a third Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper with "3."Britney's classy ode to threesomes also marks the fourth #1 for writer/producer Max Martinin the past year-and-a-half, after Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl," Pink's "So What" and Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You."
As well, "3" actually debuted at #1—something that hasn't happened here since Taylor Hicks' "Do I Make You Proud" back in 2006.
And let's not forget La Bouche also had a hit in 1996 with a song called "Sweet Dreams." You won't forget me indeed, Sasha Fierce.
Here's a screen shot of the video, which Brixxxey threw up on Twitter yesterday:
Elsewhere on the chart, Owl City deservedly enter the Top 10 this week with "Fireflies," which slides up from #11 to #9.

Which brings me to pointing something out—has anyone noticed how similar "Sweet Dreams" sounds to La Bouche's 1998 single, "You Won't Forget Me"?

On a final note, Kelly Clarkson cracks the Top 20 at #19 with "Already Gone," and Cascada re-enter the Top 40 with "Evacuate The Dancefloor"—which sits once again at its previous peak of #39.
