Billboard's Music Charts

On the singles chart, Beyonce is still on top, the "Dreamgirls" soundtrack leaps to #3 on the album chart and her costar Jennifer Hudson debuts at #98 with that showstopper of showstoppers "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Jennifer Holliday took the song all the way to #22 back in 1982, but in this day and age, I'll be surprised if it breaks the Top 40. And the biggest surprise is the collapse of Justin Timberlake's third single, "What Goes Around...," which falls to #34 after peaking at only #23. The Top 10 songs per Billboard:

1. Beyonce -- "Irreplaceable"
2. Fergie -- "Fergalicious"
3. Akon featuring Eminem -- "Smack That"
4. Akon Featuring Snoop Dogg -- "I Wanna Love You"
5. The Fray -- "How To Save A Life"
6. Justin Timberlake featuring T.I. -- "My Love"
7. Jim Jones -- "We Fly High"
8. The All-American Rejects -- "It Ends Tonight"
9. Hinder -- "Lips Of An Angel"
10. Nelly Furtado -- "Say It Right"

And the Top 10 albums per Billboard:

1. Omarion -- 21
2. Akon -- Konvicted
3. Soundtrack -- Dreamgirls
4. Nas -- Hip Hop Is Dead
5. Young Jeezy -- The Inspiration
6. Various -- Now 23
7. Various -- Eminem Presents: The Re-up
8. Justin Timberlake -- FutureSex/LoveSounds
9. Ciara -- Ciara: The Evolution
10. Soundtrack -- Hannah Montana
