How this for a heartbreak cure: Two straight weeks at the top of the charts in your hometown. That's where Kanye West sits with "Heartless," but he'd better stay hustlin' if he hopes to fend off his hard-charging "Slow Jamz" partner, Jamie Foxx. The moonlighting actor clearly believes in diversifying his assets, as he has three entries on this week's list--two of them new. We'll be interested in how that battle shakes out.
A quick shout-out to our girl Rihanna, who's had a rough week all around. Her seven-spot drop doesn't mean much in the scheme of things, we admit, but who's to say a boost next week wouldn't lift her spirits? It's worth a shot, Chicago.
