The release of Leona Lewis' debut album "Spirit" helped her single "Bleeding Love" return to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The song replaced Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body," which fell all the way back to number five this week.

Lil Wayne's "Lollipop (featuring Static Major)" continued its ascent towards the top of the Hot 100. It landed at number two this week. Jordin Sparks' and Chris Brown's "No Air" moved to number three, while Usher's "Love in this Club (featuring Young Jeezy)" came in at four.

Ray J's and Yung Berg's "Sexy Can I" held steady at six, while Madonna's "4 Minutes (featuring Justin Timberlake)" moved back to number seven. Chris Brown's "With You," Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" and Flo Rida's "Low (featuring T-Pain)" rounded out the top ten.

James Otto's album release helped single "Just Got Started Lovin' You" move twelve places to number 30.

The "Idol Gives Back" edition of "American Idol" produced a number of strong debuts this week thanks to the partnership between "Idol" and iTunes. Digital sales fueled an acoustic version of Daughtry's "What About Now" to number eighteen, which was the week's top debut. Carrie Underwood's "Praying for Time" started at twenty seven, which was a step back from last year's "I'll Stand By You," which gave her a number six debut on the Hot 100. The American Idol Top 8's "Shout to the Lord" started at 43, while Annie Lennox's "Many Rivers to Cross" debuted at 80.

Non-"Idol" debuts included Leona Lewis' "Better in Time" (62), Kenny Chesney's "Better as a Memory" (87), Blake Shelton's "Home" (91), Rihanna's "Take a Bow" (97) and Flobots' "Handlebars" (100). Toby Keith's "She's a Hottie" re-entered at 92.
