Pink Climbs, Mariah Carey Sinks And Shakira Sits Pretty...For Now

With the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 remaining pretty flat, we turn our weary eyes a bit lower, where at least Pink finally manages to climb up three positions to #17 with "Please Don't Leave Me."

Pink's third single off Funhouse has been a hit all over the planet, albeit a modest one. To date, it's managed to peak at #1 in Poland, #3 in Greece, #5 in Austria, #8 in both Canada and Germany and #10 in Ireland.

Meanwhile, if you're thinking Mariah Carey did the ultimate hooker plunge down the chart this week with "Obsessed"—it falls from its debut last week of #11 to #20—don't be too hasty; the Hannah Montana single "He Could Be The One" actually slides further, from #10 to #23.

Ah, well, at least there's good ol' Shakira debuting at #34 with "She Wolf." Surely she won't flop with that disco-laden jam, right?

And I guess we gotta do our weekly check-in of David Guetta and Kelly Rowland's "When Love Takes Over." Big news this week—it's up one position to #76! Looks like that live stint on So You Think You Can Dance was worth it, after all!
