US Charts

British newcomer (to the U.S) Taio Cruz sets the record for largest jump to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by an act with its first charting single as “Break Your Heart,” climbs from 53-1.
The record for largest climb to No. 1 on the Hot 100 by an artist's premiere single had belonged to Kelly Clarkson's ‘American Idol’ victory song, ‘A Moment Like This,’ which went from 52-1 on the chart dated Oct. 5, 2002.
Kelly Clarkson does retain the mark for biggest jump to No. 1 among all tracks with “My Life Would Suck Without You,” which nearly leapt the entire chart length (97-1) just over a year ago (Feb. 7, 2009).
After dropping from the No.1 spot 3 weeks ago: Lady Antebellun’s album returns to the top spot after selling a further 126,000 copies, bringing its sales in the U.S to over a MILLION in six weeks!
