Archuleta's track sold 166,000 downloads in the United
States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and opens at No. 2.
The last song to debut so high on the chart was Fall Out
Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in late January
2007. "Crush" also scores the best opening by an "American
Idol" finalist with a song not performed on the show.
Chris Brown's "Forever" slips from No. 2 to No. 3 on the
Hot 100, with Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" down one rung to
No. 4 and Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" trading places with
M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes," placing them at Nos. 5 and 6,
respectively. Kardinal Offishall's "Dangerous" featuring Akon
remains at No. 7.
Rihanna's "Take a Bow" drops from No. 4 to No. 8, while
Ne-Yo's "Closer" inches up one notch to No. 9. Taylor Swift
lands at No. 10 with "Change," one of five songs to debut this
week from AT&T's "Team USA Soundtrack." The cut sold more than
131,000 downloads.
Kenny Chesney scores his first top 50 debut on the Hot 100
with "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" at No. 41. The lead
single from his fall album, "Lucky Old Sun," sold 30,000
downloads.
Opening at No. 65 this week on the Hot 100 is Hit Masters'
cover of Kid Rock's "All Summer Long," thanks to download sales
of 37,000. Kid Rock's original version is not available
digitally but as a result of increasing airplay jumps from No.
28 to No. 25.
