The Charts

The combination of Jay-Z and Kanye West, aka “The Throne,” reigns on top of the Billboard 200 for a second week with “Watch the Throne” as record-setting Katy Perry is back on top of the Pop Songs list with “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)”. That song made Perry the first woman and second artist ever in the 53-year history of the Billboard to have five songs from one album hit No.1. The first? Michael Jackson.
