Artist:
Wow, I meant it when I said that Sean Kingston was in music's fast lane to the top, but, WOW! He soared 22 places to #1 with "Beautiful Girls" today! The "R&B Rookie" jumped ahead, in part due to the infectious groove of the song, but also partly from Billboard's new chart formula. Billboard's Hot 100 now calculates streaming and on-demand music as well as digital and physical sales to decide who is really Hot each week. Billboard has included digital downloads in its system since February 2005, but this is the first time that other digital options were included in the mix. "Beautiful Girls" garnered the second-highest download count for a debut entry, it was downloaded 260,000 times this week; second only to Rhianna's "Umbrella."
