Rihanna maintains her lead billing on the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week with "Rude Boy," the third single from her latest album "Rated R."

"Rude" also moves to the No. 1 slot on the Radio Songs chart, her fourth leader on that list and first since she was featured on T.I.'s 2008/2009 chart-topper "Live Your Life."

"Live Your Life" was also the last song to earn Airplay Gainer honors for six consecutive weeks, a streak "Rude" reaches this week as it improves by a healthy 25 million listener impressions.

Holding at No. 2 for a second frame is "Nothin' On You" by B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars.

Train posts the best Hot 100 showing of its career as "Hey, Soul Sister" steps 7-3, while moving 5-1 on the Digital Songs tally. The group first graced the Hot 100 list when "Meet Virginia" debuted in October 1999 on its way to a No. 20 peak. Train's subsequent Hot 100 entry, "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" had been the band's biggest hit, having reached No. 5 in June 2001.

After dropping 2-4 last week, Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" holds at that ranking. The track, meanwhile, is bumped 1-2 on the Radio Songs chart by "Rude Boy," even though "Need You Now" posts an increase in audience impressions.

Lady Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone" falls two digits to No. 5 and Taio Cruz steps back 5-6 with "Break Your Heart." Black Eyed Peas also fall one spot to No. 7 with "Imma Be."

Justin Bieber, the Billboard 200's new leading man, jumps 10-8 with "Baby," which features vocals from rapper Ludacris. The super teen also places the Hot Shot Debut onto the Hot 100 for a second straight week as "Eenie Meenie," his collaboration with Sean Kingston, debuts at No. 30.

"Eenie" appears on Bieber's chart-topping "My World 2.0" (http://www.billboard.com/#/news/justin-bieber-tops-billboard-200-with-my-1004079496.story?tag=hpflash2) and is scheduled to be included on Kingston's third studio set, due later this year. The song sells 66,000 downloads and is available digitally a la carte through Kingston's label and not as a selection off of Bieber's album.

Bieber also places another track from "My World 2.0" on the list as "That Should Be Me" opens at No. 92. That makes five songs from his new set (which houses 11 tracks) that have already reached the Hot 100; he sent all seven tracks from his debut EP, "My World," onto the chart.

Rounding out the Hot 100 top 10 are "BedRock" by Young Money featuring Lloyd and Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," which both drop one spot to No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.

Nine new tracks dot the Hot 100 this week, including T-Pain's "Reverse Cowgirl" (No. 75), Young Money's "Roger That" (No, 86) and Colbie Caillat's "I Never Told You" (No. 99).

Also entering the list are current top 40 Country Songs tracks "Pray For You" by Jaron and the Long Road To Love (No. 87), Luke Bryan's "Rain Is A Good Thing" (No. 91), "Wrong Baby Wrong" by Martina McBride (No. 95) and Miranda Lambert's "The House That Built Me" (No. 98).

“Rude Boy” Becomes Rihanna’s Best-Charting Single Since “Umbrella”

4/2/10, 12:17 pm EST

Photo: Mazur/KCA2010/WireImage
For the third straight week, Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” has the Number One spot on the Billboard Hot 100 on lockdown. The “Rude Boy” run atop the chart has been Rihanna’s most successful since “Umbrella” spent seven consecutive weeks at Number One in early 2007. Coming in at Number Two, as it did last week, was “Nothin’ On You” by B.o.B., who Rolling Stone called the Best Stoner MC in our recent Best New Bands 2010 feature. Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” ascended from Number Seven to a new high, Number Three, in its 26th week on the charts.

Justin Bieber, who topped the Billboard 200 album chart this week with My World 2.0, was also a big story on the Hot 100, landing three singles on the chart: “Baby” with Ludacris at Number Eight, the week’s highest debut “Eenie Meenie” at Number 30 and “That Should Be Me” at Number 92. The teenage hit machine has now placed five singles from his new My World 2.0 on the Hot 100, putting him well on his way of eclipsing the seven Hot 100 singles My World produced.

T-Pain’s “Reverse Cowgirl” was the Hot 100’s second-highest debut at Number 75, followed by Young Money’s “Roger That” at 86 and, further down, Timbaland and Katy Perry’s “If We Ever Meet Again” at 96.

Jamaica Rapper Bounty Killer Arrested Again

by Associated Press | April 06, 2010 7:24 EDT

A Jamaican dancehall star who has made headlines for his recurrent troubles with the law has been arrested by police again.

A police statement says rapper Bounty Killer was arrested Monday (April 5) at his home in Jamaica for allegedly assaulting a girlfriend. Police did not disclose details of the alleged attack, citing an ongoing probe.

The entertainer whose offstage name is Rodney Price already is being prosecuted on previous charges of illegal possession of a firearm, marijuana possession, and unlawful wounding and assault.

Price's attorney could not be reached. He is due to be arraigned April 7.

The dancehall rapper is best known for the album "My Xperience," and his collaboration on the song "Hey Baby" with U.S. pop band No Doubt.

Chart Beat Thursday: Justin Bieber, Train, Scorpions

by Gary Trust | April 01, 2010 4:55 EDT

'2.0' BECOMES 1: As previously reported, Justin Bieber's "My World 2.0" arrives atop the Billboard 200, making the 16-year-old the youngest solo male to top the tally since then-13-year-old Stevie Wonder led the Aug. 24, 1963, chart with "Little Stevie Wonder/The 12 Year Old Genius."

Bieber has not lost a step in his old age, having turned 16 March 1. His debut EP, "My World," bounds to a new peak of No. 5. He becomes the first act to concurrently chart two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 since the chart dated Oct. 9, 2004, when Nelly placed "Suit" at No. 2 and "Sweat" at No. 4.

While Bieber is the youngest male in almost 47 years to command the Billboard 200, a younger solo artist reigned as recently as Aug. 9, 2008, when Miley Cyrus, then three months shy of her sweet 16th, spent a week at No. 1 with "Breakout."

Only 7 solo artists have topped the Billboard 200 before turning 17. SEE WHO THEY ARE!

(Reinforcing that Billboard charts welcome artists of all ages, note the debut at No. 3 on Jazz Albums. 82-year-old Mose Allison bows with "The Way of the World," the pianist's first studio set in 12 years).

DELAYED ARRIVAL: In its 25th week on Digital Songs, Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" steamrolls 5-1.

The group engineers just the fourth trip of more than 20 weeks to the summit since the chart's data began contributing to the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2005:

Weeks to No. 1, Title, Artist, Year
26, "Dirty Little Secret," the All-American Rejects, 2006
25, "Hey, Soul Sister," Train, 2010
25, "How to Save a Life," the Fray, 2006
24, "Just Dance," Lady Gaga featuring Colby O'Donis, 2009

On the Hot 100, "Hey, Soul Sister" rebounds from No. 7 to a new high point of No. 3, granting Train its highest Hot 100 placement. The band's "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" reached No. 5 in June 2001.

"Hey, Soul Sister" jumps 8-6 as the Greatest Gainer on Adult Contemporary and becomes Train's third top 10 on Pop Songs (11-9), following "Meet Virginia" (No. 10, 2000) and "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" (No. 4, 2001).

THE 'STING': With a bow for "Sting in the Tail" at No. 23, Scorpions notch their highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 since 1991, when "Crazy World" reached No. 21. The latter set yielded the rock band's biggest Hot 100 hit, the No. 4-peaking "Wind of Change."

The group first charted on the Billboard 200 dated July 28, 1979, with "Lovedrive" and has peaked as high as No. 5 with "Savage Amusement" in 1988.

Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker recently told Billboard that "Sting in the Tail" will serve as the band's final album, and its upcoming tour will be its last.

"Everything has its end; the question is, (is) it a good end or bad end? In this case, we want to do these things and make it a good end."

COUNTRY COMEBACK: More recently in the news for other reasons, Mindy McCready appears on a Billboard chart for the first time since 2002, as "I'm Still Here" opens as the Hot Shot Debut on Country Albums at No. 71 (view the chart in full on billboard.biz).

McCready placed six titles on the survey between 1996 and 2002, led by her No. 5-peaking debut set, "Ten Thousand Angels." That album's first two singles, the title cut and "Guys Do It All the Time," peaked at Nos. 6 and 1, respectively, in 1996 and appear in re-recorded form on "I'm Still Here."

McCready's new album also sports a cover of Garth Brooks' 1990 classic, "The Dance."

THE BOY IS BACK: Another artist whose impressive recording career has been overshadowed of late by non-music issues likewise returns after a lengthy absence.

Boy George draws Billboard chart ink for the first time in nine years, as "Amazing Grace" begins at No. 10 on Hot Dance Singles Sales (viewable at billboard.biz). The former Culture Club frontman had last charted with "The Essential Mix," which reached No. 20 on Top Independent Albums in March 2001.

Until this week, the '80s icon had last appeared on Hot Dance Singles Sales with his signature solo hit "The Crying Game" on June 5, 1993.

CHART BEAT BITS: Monica manages her second No. 1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, as her sixth studio album, "Still Standing," vaults 78-1. The singer first reigned with her last album, "The Makings of Me," in 2006. On the Billboard 200, "Still Standing" debuts at No. 2. She has ranked higher on the chart only with "After the Storm," which bowed at No. 1 on July 5, 2003 ...

Just as Monica's album logged a debut last week due to street-date violations before blasting to the summit, Usher's "Raymond v Raymond" is expected to top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums next week following an arrival at No. 74 this week. Usher's sixth studio set is also forecasted to dislodge "My World 2.0," by the singer's protégé Justin Bieber, from the top of the Billboard 200 next week ...

Joe Bonamassa's fourth entry on the Billboard 200 becomes his first top 40 title on the list, as "Black Rock" debuts at No. 39. The album launches as the singer/guitarist's sixth No. 1 on Blues Albums. Bonamassa, who has played with the likes of Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and Steve Winwood, first ruled the latter chart with "So It's Like That" in 2002 ...

Jaron Lowenstein makes his first appearance on the Hot 100 since "Crazy for This Girl" wrapped a 23-week chart run this week in 2001 after peaking at No. 15. That single was credited to Evan and Jaron, the duo featuring his twin brother Evan Lowenstein. Now fronting Jaron and the Long Road to Love, the singer/songwriter bows at No. 87 with "Pray for You." The track rises 34-32 on Country Songs ...

The Bird and the Bee create a buzz on the Billboard 200, as "Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates" starts at No. 75. The set features alternative-leaning covers of five of the duo's six Hot 100 No. 1s: "Rich Girl," "Kiss on My List," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" and "Maneater" (only "Out of Touch" is absent from the album's track list). Billboard 200 chart manager Keith Caulfield points out that the collection is the third charted album since September to pay tribute to one act, following Cheap Trick's ode to the Beatles, "Sgt. Pepper Live" (No. 83), and the Flaming Lips' update of Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" (No. 157).

Erykah Badu Charged With Disorderly Conduct Over Nude Video

by Mariel Concepcion, N.Y. | April 02, 2010 7:29 EDT

Erykah Badu was charged with disorderly conduct over her nude video shoot for her latest single, "Window Seat," according to TMZ.com. Badu will be mailed a citation and faces up to a $500 fine.

According to the site, a Texas woman filed an indecency complaint with the Dallas Police Department; an official announcement will be made at a news conference held by the police department soon.

The video was shot in one take at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Tex., the site where John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.Once Badu gets all the way down to her curvaceous birthday suit, a gunshot rings out and her body collapses on to the sidewalk, as blue blood spills out to form the word "groupthink."
