Everybody Wants To Have Sex With Eminem, Maroon 5 And Sara Bareilles

It's a week of several big debuts on the Billboard Hot 100, pop chyldren, so let's just jump right in with Eminem and Rihanna. Each one has landed a #1 single this year so far, with "Not Afraid" and "Rude Boy," respectively. And now their collaboration "Love The Way You Lie" comes crashing in at #2, thanks to Eminem's Recovery being made available last week.

Recovery opened with 741,000 copies sold—the highest one-week amount of any album since AC/DC (hot) moved 784,000 copies of Black Ice in October 2008. (And check out my assessment of the 17 albums that have hit #1 in 2010 so far over on Idolator.)

Anyway, Selena Gomez & The Scene pop in at #24 with "Round & Round," making it the Disney teen's highest chart hit yet. (My spring jam "Naturally" peaked at #29). Maroon 5 debut at #44 with "Misery," a song that sounds like every other Maroon 5 single ever released. The music video is set to debut in a few hours, so hold on to your hats, kidz.

Here's a 30-second preview:



This brings us to piano pop broad Sara Bareilles, who debuts at #59 with "King Of Anything." Let's hope this one becomes a hit (it's pleasant enough), so she can shed her one-hit-wonder coat—you know, to become a two-hit-wonder. The "King Of Anything" video leaked this week and keeps getting yanked off the Internet, but you can watch it here.

Rounding out the debuts (and, yes, there are about 47 other Eminem songs that entered the Hot 100 that I can't be fucked to write about) this week is Adam Lambert's "If I Had You," which goes in at #94. If there is a Pop God up there in the universe overseeing all things right and just, this song will go just as far as "Whataya Want From Me" did. Because Max Martin needs more money.
