Maroon 5 keep a firm grip on the top of the pop radio airplay chart, but there is plenty of action further down. Justin Bieber surges into the top 3 with his dubstep experiment "As Long As You Love Me." Rihanna is chasing Ke$ha up the chart as they are both big movers this week, and Bruno Mars and Adele return with strong new entries to the pop radio airplay chart.
