Lady GaGa rolls back into the top 5 this week with "Poker Face." Miley Cyrus is set to have her biggest hit single since "See You Again" as "The Climb" surges to #13 this week.

As expected, U2 unleashed their 7th chart topping album in the US. However, sales of just under 500,000 copies were somewhat disappointing. Lady GaGa reaches the top 5 for the first time this week with her debut release The Fame.
