It's a big 7th week at the top for Justin Timberlake with "SexyBack," but he has 2 strong singles from Hinder and JoJo breathing down his neck this week. Weird Al Yankovic remains one of the hottest artists on the chart this week. "White & Nerdy" soars to #12 to match "Eat It" for Weird Al's highest charting pop single ever.
