'PARTY' GIRL: Miley Cyrus bounds into the top 10 on Pop Songs/Mainstream Top 40, as "Party in the U.S.A." pounces 14-10. The song wins the chart's Greatest Gainer award for a second straight week.
The track is Cyrus's third top 10 in four tries on Pop Songs. "See You Again" reached No. 4 in April 2008. Three months later, "7 Things" rose to No. 19. This June, "The Climb" climbed to No. 5.
At just five chart weeks, "Party in the U.S.A." easily marks Cyrus' swiftest ascent to the top 10. "See You Again" took 13 weeks to reach the top tier, and "The Climb" required 14 frames.
COMPLETE BEAT: After a No. 3 start on the Billboard 200 last week following just three days at retail, Cyrus' "Time of Our Lives (EP)" grows after a full week of availability. Blocking her path to the summit, however, is the artist who led the Billboard Hot 100 five days after Cyrus was born almost 17 years ago. Check back tomorrow when we run down feats from among all our charts, including the Billboard 200, where Whitney Houston celebrates her first No. 1 since "The Bodyguard" led for 20 weeks in 1992-93. "I Look to You" becomes Houston's fourth Billboard 200 topper. Prior to "The Bodyguard," she led with "Whitney Houston" in 1985 and "Whitney" in 1987.
