Katy Perry picks up her 2nd #1 pop single this week with "Hot 'n Cold" joining "I Kissed a Girl" as a chart-topper. Any concerns about Perry's status as a mere novelty act should be put to rest. Lady GaGa continues to power her way into the pop mainstream as "Just Dance" lands inside the top 15 for the first time this week.
