Okay…I’m calmed down a little from last week’s chart craziness.  The world is making a little more sense now.  T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” spends a second week atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart with a bullet.  I can’t make the gripe this week about the song not being heard on the radio, because it’s this week’s Airplay Gainer.  Threats this week to the peak position?  It looks to me that the only significant threat is Pink’s “So What.”  It jumps from #9 to #3 this week with a bullet after selling 136,000 digital downloads.  It looks like last week’s threat, Kardinal Offishall featuring Akon’s “Dangerous,” wasn’t much of a threat at all, because it slips from #5 to #6 and loses its bullet.  M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” rises from #6 to #5 with a bullet, so that might be a threat in a week or two.  Other than that, Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” jumps from #24 to #9 with a bullet, and it is the Sales Gainer this week after selling 112,000 units.  I’ve been a growing fan of Mraz’s quirky songs over the years, so I hope it makes it…but I doubt that it will.  I’d like to see a quirky song top the chart, a la The Barenaked Ladies’ “One Week.”  Finally, in the fight between Kid Rock and The Hit Masters’ versions of Rock’s “All Summer Long”…it looks like Rock is pulling ahead, because his version jumps up two places to #23 with a bullet, while The Hit Masters’ knock-off slides from #19 to #33 and loses its bullet.  Nyah-Nyah!!
