Canada's Powter leads US charts for fifth week

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Canadian singer/songwriter Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" led the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for a fifth week Thursday, while reggae star Sean Paul's "Temperature" and rapper T.I.'s "What You Know" stayed put at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.

"Bad Day" is tied for the longest-running No. 1 of 2006 with "Check on It" by Beyonce featuring Slim Thug. It is also tied with the Everly Brothers' "Cathy's Clown" and Prince's "When Doves Cry" as the third longest-running No. 1 single in the 46-year history of the Warner Bros. record label. The only titles to have longer runs in pole position are Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" (10 weeks) and

Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" (eight weeks).

Elsewhere on the Hit 100, Chamillionaire's "Ridin"' featuring Krayzie Bone climbed eight places to No. 4, British pop singer

Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" held at No. 5, and LL Cool J's "Control Myself" featuring

Jennifer Lopez slipped two to No. 6. Dem Franchize Boyz' "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" featuring Lil Peanut & Charlay rose three to No. 7.

Elsewhere on the chart, James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" slipped one to No. 8, as Bubba Sparxxx' "Ms. New Booty" featuring Ying Yang Twins and Mr. ColliPark jumped two to No. 9. Blunt led the Adult Contemporary chart for a third week, while "Ms. New Booty" topped the Hot Ringtones chart for a fourth.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California" fell one to No. 10, but held at No. 1 on the Modern Rock chart for a third week. The track also seized the top spot on the Mainstream Rock tally, ending the five-week run of Godsmack's "Speak," which dropped to No. 2.

Scoring big on both rock charts was Tool's "Vicarious," which enjoys a No. 2 debut on Modern Rock and a No. 3 entry on Mainstream Rock. The cut is drawn from the band's Volcano album "10,000 Days," which is released next Tuesday.

The Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready To Make Nice" was the Hot 100's top debut at No. 28, the country trio's highest new entry on the chart thanks to the song's availability as a paid digital download. Their previous best was the No. 40 debut of "Goodbye Earl" in March 2000.

Also new were Missy Elliott's "We Run This" (No. 75), Taking Back Sunday's "MakeDamnSure" (No. 78),

Jamie Foxx's "DJ Play a Love Song" featuring Twista (No. 90), LeToya's "Torn" (No. 92), Three Days Grace's "Animal I Have Become" (No. 93), Carrie Underwood's "Don't Forget To Remember Me" (No. 98) and

Brad Paisley's "The World" (No. 100).

On the Hot Country Songs chart, Bon Jovi's duet with Jennifer Nettles, "Who Says You Can't Go Home," rose one to No. 1, ending the five-week reign of Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts the Most," which slipped to No. 2. This is the first time a rock act has reached No. 1 on the chart since Billboard began tracking country singles in 1944.

Anais' "Lo Que Son Las Cosas" held at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart for a fourth week.
