Although falling from the top of the overall singles chart, Katy Perry keeps a firm grip on the radio airplay crown. However, Adele is aiming for the top as "Rolling In the Deep" rises from #10 to #6 this week. Despite poor sales Beyonce enters the top 40 this week with her single "Runt the World (Girls)."
