Hot New Singles

Comments

"Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland heads into the top 10. It's Furtado's first top 10 pop single since 2001. Newcomer Cassie looks to be a sure bet for top 10 status, and her "Me & U" should be a big one through the hot summer months.

Comments

Red Hot Chili Peppers hold on to a second week at the top of the album chart which is an increasing rarity in these days when albums frequently debut at the peak. High School Musical has come roaring back into the top 5, and, for the second week in a row, an ex-boy band member debuts in the top 5 with Ashley Parker Angel's Soundtrack to Your Life giving a strong showing.

Comments

There's not a lot of major movement on the chart this week. Chamillionaire rides into the top 10 with ease and Nelly Furtado should arrive there in a week or two with "Promiscuous," one of the hottest dance hits of the summer.
