Beyonce rolls into the top 5 this week with "Halo," the third top 10 single from the album I Am...Sasha Fierce. A bit further down Britney Spears climbs a notch into the top 10 with "If You Seek Amy" marking the first time she has scored three top 10 singles from one album. It looks like Katy Perry is recovering from the relatively disappointing chart performance of "Thinking Of You" as "Waking Up In Vegas" soars 27 places to #35 this week.
