Logs Milestone On Pop Chart |
Jessica Simpson, who
turns 25 on July 10, just received an early birthday
gift: the highest Billboard Hot 100 debut of her
career.
The No. 33 bow of Simpson's remake of Nancy
Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin"' is
miles ahead of her previous best, the No. 59 opening
of a cover of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" in
April 2004.
"Boots," from the upcoming Columbia soundtrack to
"The Dukes of Hazzard" film, is Simpson's first
chart entry since "Breath" peaked at No. 20 the week
of May 22, 2004. "Boots" is the seventh single by
Simpson to appear on the Hot 100. Her run of hits
began the week of Oct. 16, 1999 with "I Wanna Love
You Forever." That initial hit is Simpson's only top
10 single to date.
This is the third chart run for "Boots," the only
one of Sinatra's 21 chart entries to return to the
Hot 100 courtesy of another artist. In 1989,
Canada's Kon Kan followed its No. 15 hit "I Beg Your
Pardon" with "Puss N' Boots/These Boots (Are Made
for Walkin')," which went to No. 58.
If Simpson's "Boots" can walk all the way to No. 1,
it would become the 10th song of the rock era to be
No. 1 twice, by different artists. The first nine:
"Go Away Little Girl" (Steve Lawrence/ Donny Osmond)
"The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva/Grand Funk)
"Please Mr. Postman" (The Marvelettes/Carpenters)
"Venus" (Shocking Blue/Bananarama)
"Lean on Me" ( Bill Withers/Club Noveau)
"You Keep Me Hangin' On" (The Supremes/ Kim Wilde)
"When a Man Loves a Woman" ( Percy Sledge/ Michael
Bolton)
"I'll Be There" (Jackson 5/ Mariah Carey)
"Lady Marmalade" (LaBelle/ Christina Aguilera, Lil'
Kim, Mya & Pink)
A 14-10 move on Billboard's airplay-based Modern
Rock chart for "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
(Reprise) creates some new chart history for Green
Day. The trio is the first act in the history of
this airplay survey to collect four top 10 tracks
from two different albums.
Before "September," the "American Idiot" CD yielded
the title track, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and
"Holiday," all of which peaked at No. 1. In 1994,
Green Day had five top 10 hits from the "Dookie"
set.
Green Day has had 21 modern chart entries to date;
"September" is the 16th to reach the top 10.
The No. 1 debut of George Strait's "Somewhere Down
in Texas" (MCA) on The Billboard 200 knocks Coldplay
out of the top berth. "X&Y" (Capitol) falls 1-3
after a three-week run in pole position, the longest
run at No. 1 for a non-domestic act since December
2002-January 2003, when Canadian singer Shania Twain
had a five-week reign with "Up!"
Just counting British acts, Coldplay had the longest
stay at No. 1 since the Beatles ruled for seven
weeks at the end of 2000 and beginning of 2001 with
"1."
Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" (Walt Disney/Hollywood)
reaches another milestone on Billboard's Adult
Contemporary chart, as it refuses to move from the
No. 1 spot. The song from the soundtrack to "The
Princess Diaries 2" leads the list for the 19th
week, tying Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" as
the second-longest running AC No. 1 by a solo female
artist.
Only Dion's "A New Day Has Come," at 21 weeks, has
had a longer visit at the summit.
If "Breakaway" can maintain its No. 1 status, it has
the potential to become the longest-running No. 1 AC
of all time. At the moment it is tied with Dion's
"Because You Loved Me" for third place. "A New Day
Has Come" is runner-up to "Drift Away" by Uncle
Kracker featuring Dobie Gray, with a way-out-in
front 28 weeks on top.
