Thankfully Owl City's "Fireflies" is the latest single to have a non-consecutive second week at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart. And while I admittedly burned out on OC's Ocean Eyes album at some point last month, it does deserve a revisit now in honor of this achievement!Meanwhile, Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" gets bounced of the Top 10 to make way for Rihanna's "Russian Roulette." But expect the former to do the couture-clad hooker stroll back in on next week's chart now that the video has premiered. "Bad Romance" is currently at #4 on iTunes' Top Songs, but dropped from #9 to #18 on the Hot 100.
Elsewhere, 15-year-old pop munchkin Justin Bieber debuts at #26 with "Favorite Girl," which is two positions below one of his 65 other singles, "One Time."
Also, the endurance and Cascada's "Evacuate The Dancefloor" cannot be denied, as the song finally reaches a new peak of #28. They just need to either get that broad Natalie Horler onto Dancing With The Stars, or have her sex tape broadcast during the commercial breaks. One or the other. That'd likely push the single up to at least #21.Finally, it might not be curtains here for Leona Lewis, who just announced her first U.K. tour. "Happy," the first single off Echo, manages to rebound and bounce up from #98 to #68.
