Chris Brown rules U.S. singles chart

NEW YORK (Billboard) - R&B singer Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss" led Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for a third week Thursday, and its featured artist, T-Pain, became the first act to appear on four tunes in the top 10 in more than two years.

T-Pain is also featured on newcomer Flo Rida's "Low," which jumped 58 places to No. 6; Kanye West's "Good Life," which rose one to No. 7; and Baby Bash's "Cyclone," which slipped one to No. 8. Rapper 50 Cent was the last artist to achieve this feat, during the first two weeks of April 2005.

Meanwhile, Alicia Keys "No One" moved up one place to No. 2, swapping places with Timbaland's "Apologize" featuring OneRepublic. Soulja Boy's "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" held at No. 4, while Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly" jumped one to No. 5.

Rounding out the top 10, West's "Stronger" fell three to No. 9, and Finger Eleven's "Paralyzer" rose four to No. 10.

The chart's top debut was Los Angeles radio personality DJ Felli's "Get Buck In Here" at No. 44. Also new was the reunited Spice Girls' "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" at No. 90. "Headlines" has a lot to live up to, as the girl-power group's previous seven singles, beginning with the 1997 chart-topper "Wannabe," all made the top 20.

Keys' "No One" was No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a fifth week. The Foo Fighters' "The Pretender" topped the Modern Rock chart for a 13th week, and Seether's "Fake It" led the Mainstream Rock tally for a second week.
