ROYAL FLUSH
From one California girl to another, Eureka native Sara Bareilles ends Santa Barbara native Katy Perry's 10 week run at number one on UU-BRU Internet Radio with "California Gurls". Sara Bareilles' "King Of Anything" is the singer-songwriter's first trip to the top of the UU-BRU Internet Radio chart survey. Two years ago, she just missed the top ten with her debut single "Love Song" (#12, 2008). In addition, "King Of Anything" is the third UU-BRU Internet Radio chart topper with a 'royal' title and the first using a male monach. The king's female counterpart has appeared in two number one hits including Loverboy's "Queen Of The Broken Hearts" (#1, 1983) and Whitney Houston's "Queen Of The Night" (#1, 1993).
Although royalty has appeared in three number one song titles, acts using members of the royal family have accounted for ten number one songs on UU-BRU Internet Radio. Kings Of Leon scored a pair of chart toppers with "Use Somebody" (#1, 2008) and "Revelry"(#1, 2009). Queen have collected four number one songs on UU-BRU Internet Radio including "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" (#1, 1978), "Another One Bites The Dust" (#1, 1980), "Somebody To Love" with George Michael (#1, 1993) and "Say It's Not True" with Paul Rodgers (#1, 2008). Prince topped the chart three times with "Little Red Corvette" (#1, 1983), "Batdance" (#1, 1989) and "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" (#1, 1994).
Four singles deep into her debut album, "Animal", Ke$ha's latest release, "Take It Off", enters the chart at #40, matching the debut position of the album's first single, "TiK Tok". The album's first three singles reached the top ten on UU-BRU Internet Radio with "TiK ToK" and "Your Love Is My Drug" peaking at #4, while "Blah Blah Blah" featuring 3OH!3 climbed to #7. A new collaboration with 3OH!3, "My First Kiss", dips to #51 after reaching #48 last week.
