Comments
The firm grip of the X Factor singalong at the top of the chart prevents Beyonce from landing at #1 after a knockdown battle with Britney Spears and Leona Lewis who debut just behind "If I Were a Boy." With this much female power at the top of the chart, it's a surprise that Christina Aguilera only manages a #14 opening with her latest "Keeps Gettin' Better."
