After six weeks at No. 1, Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” has been pushed out of the top spot on the Billboard hot 100 singles chart. Taking her place is Katy Perry’s Kanye West-assisted “E.T.,” moving up a slot from No. 2 last week. Its outer space video just dropped as well. Gaga’s “Way” slips to No. 4.

Rihanna’s “S&M” follows Perry at No. 2, and  Cee-Lo’s “F**k You (Forget You)” rises a rung to No. 3. Check out the full top 10 after the jump.

    This being Katy’s 4th #1 from this album is a pretty cool achievement. I wish you would have mentioned that. Lord knows if it were GaGa EW would have 12 articles about it.

    • Mike

      I’m surprised Gaga isn’t mentioned in the headline. “Born This Way no longer #1,” and then you have to read the article to find out what is.

      Yeah, the Gaga coverage is a bit out of control here.

      • Vanessa

        Gaga has been #1 for 6 weeks, and has already sold over 2 million copies of Born This Way. EW is covering her because there is popular DEMAND for coverage of her. You might not dig what she does, but clearly a lot of people do.

      • Rebecca

        She has the best body ever and TallPeopleMatch was amazing

    • Joey

      Who the f*ck cares? They both suck.

      • Alex

        Joey’s post=winning, duh! Pop music is worse (save Cee Lo and Adele) than it’s ever been now. Everything is teenybopper junk.

    • DR

      Ha! The pressed-itude here! Gaga slays your faves and EW knows this. They don’t comment on those with flop albums and videos.

    • Danielle

      LOL!!!! Sooooo true. This site/magazine should be called “EW..all GaGa all the time”. Ugh.

  • Fatima

    How is that Cee-Lo song still gaining?!?

    • Rachel

      For me Cee-Lo’s song is one of four in the top ten that I actually like.

    • fancypants

      Because the song is great. It’s an actual musical composition, instead of a bunch of generic, synthesized beats.

    • Stephanie

      Because it’s a good freakin’ song! The only good song in the Top 10.

  • katie

    glad breezy is doing good :)
    GO Chris!!!

  • bobbyv

    10 songs and only 2 artists that have any real talent…Ceelo and Pink. The rest of these songs (and artists) are as disposable as toilet paper.

    • DR

      Please. Everyone on that list has SOME shred of talent, otherwise people wouldn’t stand for their sh*t. So you can take your pressed ass and gtfo plz.

      • Alex

        “some shred of talent”

        God, you’re gullible.

      • DR

        @Alex Someone please define “gullible” for this boy…or girl.

    • PN

      I think that all of the artists are good. Maybe the songs aren’t their best ones, but they’re doing it on the music charts.

    • Renaton

      nah, Pink doesn’t have talent

      • fancypants

        Yes, she does.

    • Lane

      You lost your credibility when you said Pink had talent.

      • fancypants

        You must be deaf. Pink can sing any genre of music with credibility: pop, soul, rock, r&b, funk, etc. and she doesn’t lip sync. Pink is an artist.

      • Renaton

        Wow, she sings many genres and there’s no playback? My god, that must mean the music, because they is no such thing as artists who try hard and sound awful right?
        She must be like… The Beatles!

      • @Renaton

        Next time post something coherent. Your comment is pointless.

    • Krissy

      Are you serious? It takes serious talent to write catchy pop music. If it was easy then everyone would be doing it! Gaga and Katy at least write their own music. Katy’s voice is awful, but Gaga also has major vocal and piano talent.

      • Rachel

        Yeah i know, they ACTUALLY WRITE (or co-write) THEIR OWN SONGS! I think they deserve respect for just that something that no one seems to do anymore…

      • dipshat

        Sorry Krissy, dipshat agrees with you, not Rachel…

      • Alex

        But the music they write sucks.

  • PN

    I’ve heard E.T. more the past 2 weeks, but I could tell that Lady Gaga’s No. 1 reign was going to cool down. That Katy Perry’s had 4 straight No. 1s off her second album versus only one on her debut is remarkable! But Gaga had a remarkable 6 weeks at 1! I’m sure it will lead to more No. 1s when her album comes out in May.

  • commentor

    Not a big Katy fan, but 4 #1s from an album is a pretty big achievement.

  • Danielle

    Rihanna, GaGa, Katy, and P!nk are on fire! They’ve been ruling the airwaves and iTunes charts for what seems like a year now!!

  • cara

    Where is Britney on the list? What happened to both her 2 songs recently out?

    • Rachel

      Good question.

  • Rachel

    E.T.:B
    S&M:B-
    Fuc* You:A+
    Born this way:B-
    Just can’t get enough:B
    No Sleep: N\A
    Look at me now:B
    Perfect:A-
    Down on me:B
    On The floor:B
    P.S. Where the hell did No Sleep come from? I haven’t heard it yet but his other two promotional singles didn’t even make the top 40! Any explanation?…

    • dipshat

      DAMNIT i meant to write this as dipshat! Last time i let someone use my computer.

  • hausofhamza

    LADY GAGA = QUEEN OF POP

    • dipshat

      hausofhamza=Idiot who posts this every week.

      • DR

        @dipshat And you don’t regurgitate your same, tired-ass list each week? Gworl, BYE.

      • dipshat

        Sorry DR, i didn’t know you were a medical professional.

      • Jonathan

        dipshat FTW

      • dipshat

        DR? Hello? Whatever it make’s more sense than Gworl.

      • DR

        @dipshat Keep it pressed and to the left. My apparent diagnosis >>>>>> your horrid lists. *sips martini.* Girl/Boy, BYE.

      • dipshat

        I give up, you don’t make any sense…

    • fancypants

      Nah, that’s JANET. Recognize.

    • Jonathan

      Madonna = Queen of Pop. This is a known fact, and has been since the 80′s. Until she retires, it will remain so. Then we will see who will take the crown (although Britney has been considered her successor for half a decade now).

      • fancypants

        This is not a known fact by anyone, so stop making this up. If it were it would be as ubiquitous as King of Pop used for MJ but it isn’t. Janet is the Queen of Pop.

      • Renaton

        @fancypants

        Tell me one media vehicle that called Janet the Queen Of Pop (when every media outlet, and even people who aren’t Madonna fans call her Queen Of Pop), and maybe you’ll have something that could prove that… Even though it won’t.

        It’s not even a matter of taste, but of iconography. Most people who aren’t into the pop world call her Queen Of Pop. It’s the way she’s cemented as an icon, deal with it.

      • Jonathan

        When has it ever been Janet? Not that I’m anti-Janet or anything, but Madonna is the biggest female pop artist ever. She’s sold more albums, had more hits, sold out more concerts, etc. If any credible source was asked, they’d say Madonna is the queen of pop. Again, not trying to start a fight, but this is really what I believed to be the truth.

      • fancypants

        No one besides Madonna fans call her the queen of pop and I’ve never seen a media vehicle where she’s been called the queen of pop so you’re misinformed. Janet is an icon, and though she’s younger than Madonna her career is longer. Her dance moves and music videos are iconic as well.

      • fancypants

        Janet, Celine, Mariah, Whitney, etc have all been called the Queen of Pop. Madonna has no exclusive claim to this title which has become virtually meaningless. ONLY Michael Jackson is called the King of Pop, and by everyone, not just his fans.

        Look up “Honorific nicknames in popular music” on wikipedia and scroll down to where it says King of Pop and then Queen of Pop. Compare the 2 sections; point proven. Then look at the links under Notes for verification.

      • fancypants

        oh yea the first sentence from my comment on Thu 03/31/11 10:40 PM is invalid, b/c she along with other female artists have been deemed the QofP.

      • True Blue

        @ fancypants:

        No One but Madonna’s fans call her the queen of pop??? Oh my God, are you serious? Practically every time there’s a news report about her, she is almost only strictly referred as the following:

        Madonna

        Madge

        The Material Girl

        The Queen of Pop

        Saying only her fans call her the queen of pop is like saying only MJ’s fans call him the King of Pop. If you rely on Wikipedia so much, then you would know that their criteria for adding an artist with an honorific nickname to the list is that they must be referred to as such by the media at large.

        Kinda blows your argument apart, eh? I get that you don’t like Madonna, but don’t let that distort the blatant facts.

      • @True Blue

        It’s clear you didn’t read the posts above. Work on your reading comprehension. Your comment is invalid.

      • Monster For Life

        Fancypants lives in his/her own little world with Damita Jo! Definitely NOT the Queen of Pop!! An icon, yes… THE QUEEN… no!!

  • I am not caca

    Katty is better than fugly caca

    • Kyle

      Madonna IS the Queen of Pop, Britney is the Princess, and Gaga is the Grande F***ing Dame.

      • the truth

        nope.
