Comments
The top 5 is exactly the same this week as it was last week. In fact, all of the top 10 singles are the same except 1. D4L manage to slip into the #10 spot with "Laffy Taffy." Amazingly, Mariah Carey is prevented from entering the top 10 and even slipped back a notch to #12 with "Don't Forget About Us." It looks like Eminem is destined to have his 7th top 10 pop hit with "When I'm Gone."
