When you think of the Billboard Hot 100 and records being set, does Jason Mraz even come close to crossing your mind? I think not. But it appears Mraz has struck treasure with his single “I’m Yours”. This past week saw the single sitting safely in the Hot 100 for its 70th consecutive week. The last song to come close to this record was the 1998 hit by LeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live”. There are no signs of the Mraz hit exiting the ranking as it rose from #35 to #23 this past week. Good going!

It’s been no secret that the Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D. has been the group’s biggest commercial success. To validate that statement, they too have set an all new Billboard Hot 100 record. The Peas are the first artist/ group to top the charts at #1 for 20 consecutive weeks. First “Boom Boom Pow” rose to the top and stayed there for 12 weeks then it became tired and “I Gotta Feeling” took over the shift for the next 8 weeks. Both singles have sold a combined 5.8 million digital copies, with 66% of the sales coming from “Boom Boom Pow”. That officially makes “Boom Boom Pow” the biggest single of 2009. Long live those Black Eyed Peas.
