The massive post-Christmas surge in digital downloads had a significant impact on this week's pop singles chart. Although Beyonce still dominates radio airplay with "Irreplaceable," surging downloads propel Fergie into the #1 spot with "Fergalicious." This is her second consecutive #1 single from the solo debut album The Dutchess. Massive downloads help put Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" back into the top 20.

In the chaotic, sliding sales week after Christmas, Omarion manages a second #1 solo album with 21 opening at the top. The only other major release of the week, Switchfoot's Oh! Gravity lands in the top 20. It's a good week for hip hop as last week's #1 by Nas stays in the top 5 while being joined by earlier releases from Akon and Young Jeezy.

There is little change on the overall chart in terms of positions this week, but most songs suffer a significant decline in airplay due to the number of radio special programs and countdowns during the week. Look for the chart to begin shaking off holiday impacts next week.
