Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" begins a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, with digital sales of 151,000 copies keeping the song of the summer ahead of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" at No. 2 and Chris Brown's "Forever" at No. 3.

Another Rihanna song, "Disturbia," races 15-4 thanks to digital sales of 122,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" and Lil Wayne's "A Milli" hold at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively, while Wayne's "Lollipop" featuring Static Major slides 4-7.

Kardinal Offishall's "Dangerous" featuring Akon rises 9-8, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" declines 6-9 and Jesse McCartney's "Leavin'" remains No. 10 to round out the top portion of the Hot 100.

Estelle's "American Boy" featuring Kanye West is the chart's top digital gainer after selling 84,000 downloads. The cut jumps 26-16, a new peak for the U.K. vocalist.

Shwayze's "Corona and Lime" is the top debut at No. 26 after digital sales of more than 74,000. The act is the subject of the new MTV reality series "Buzzin'," with a track of the same name also soaring 93-46 thanks to sales of 55,000 downloads.

Also new this week is Miley Cyrus' "Breakout" at No. 56. It's the title track of her new Hollywood album, which debuted yesterday at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Keyshia Cole's "Heaven Sent" continues its rule over Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for an eighth week. On that tally, Lil Wayne sets a new record by placing 13 titles as a lead or featured artist this week. He surpasses T.I.'s previous mark of 11, set in February.

Alan Jackson is No. 1 on Hot Country Songs for a second week with "Good Time," while Foo Fighters begin a second week atop the Modern Rock chart with "Let It Die." Disturbed's "Inside the Fire" rules the Mainstream Rock roundup for a 13th week.

Leona Lewis Speaks About Reaching Fame



The new international sensation reveals insight about climbing the musical ladder.

Leona Lewis, the Mariah-meets-Whitney singing wonder, has just started her career. Her album, Spirit, and her chart-topping single, “Bleeding Love,” have been setting historic musical records since their release.

This 23-year-old rising star plans not to be persuaded into Hollywood pitfalls that come with fame. “You can't make your mistakes in private,” Lewis says Friday. “I have the advantage of a great support structure. I get honest opinions from my family and friends. They aren't always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight.”

In addition, she doesn’t smoke, drink, or wear leather or diamonds. “I’ve tasted champagne, which is gross. And I tasted wine, which I don’t like. I might be quite boring,” in a June 2 article on E! Online.

Lewis is no stranger to the music scene. According to E! Online, the British sensation was once the premier contestant on The X Factor, Simon Cowell’s British version of American Idol. She then released her take on Kelly Clarkson’s hit debut, “A Moment Like This,” and set a Guinness world record when the song sold 50,000 downloads in just 30 minutes.

This success led to a joint recording deal between Cowell and music legend Clive Davis. “Leona Lewis will not be an overnight sensation,” Davis said in an earlier article. “She is the real deal and this is just the beginning of a long and illustrious career.”

Even if “Bleeding Love” is her first international hit, Lewis claims to have written more than 100 songs. “I may sing some of them on a future release,” she says.

Leona Lewis to Sing Bond Theme Tune?




Leona Lewis is reportedly in talks to record the theme tune for the new James Bond film, Quantam of Solace.

Leona's manager Simon Cowell is said to have suggested to the movie’s producers she would be great given that she has had huge success in both the UK and US.

It was last month claimed that former Destiny's Child star Beyonce Knowles was in talks to record the track after troubled singer Amy Winehouse pulled out.

Amy, 24, reportedly backed out of recording the coveted soundtrack after a bust up with producer Mark Ronson.

Last month, Ronson -- who worked with Amy on her smash hit album Back to Black -- said the 'Rehab' hitmaker was not in a fit state to make music; and that it would be "a miracle of science" if she recorded a song for the film.

Leona Lewis Isn't Looking for Trouble



Leona Lewis may be looking a bit sexed up on the new cover of Blender, but she's no bad girl in the making.

In fact, the “Bleeding Love” hitmaker doesn’t smoke, drink or wear leather or diamonds.

“When I was 18, I had a few glasses of Alcopop—they’re bubblegummy drinks with a bit of alcohol—and it was gross,” Lewis says. “I’ve tasted champagne, which is gross. And I tasted wine, which I don’t like. I might be quite boring.”

Boring, Ms. Lewis, has never looked so good.
