Brown rolls on at No. 1, Usher passes Mariah
|  | | Usher and his wife | Chris Brown's With You still has no competition in its immediate sights for No. 1 on the national radio airplay audience chart. It loses a little audience in retaining the top spot for the fourth week, according to Nielsen BDS, Arbitron and Radio & Records, but No. 2, Flo Rida's Low, lost even more.
Down the road, there will be a new No. 1, of course, and now it appears to be Usher's Love in This Club taking command. The song jumped from No. 5 to No. 3, overtaking Mariah Carey's Touch My Body, which remains at No. 4. The annotated top 10: 1-1 Chris Brown, With You (down 1.4% in total audience): Now with a 36 million lead in audience impressions, and more than 50 million ahead of the next song that actually poses an eventual threat. Chris enters his comfort zone.
2-2 Flo Rida, Low (-7.4%): Hitting the floor, but it will be a while before it really gets low.
3-5 Usher, Love in This Club (+16.3%): Looking unstoppable; it went from 2 1/2 million behind Mariah last week to 3 million ahead.
4-4 Mariah Carey, Touch My Body (+9.1%): A 9% gain this high up the chart is tremendous, but further miracles are needed if the song is to give Usher any competition for No. 1. (USA Today)
