B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You” trumps Rihanna for his first Hot 100 #1
After an impressive week of Digital sales, and declining airplay for “Rude Boy”, performed by Rihanna, B.o.B will top the Billboard Hot 100 chart to be released on April 22, 2010. This is his first #1 on the Hot 100. He came to this position by moving 184,000* digital downloads of his already platinum single “Nothin’ On You”. His single “Airplanes” which features Hayley Williams of Paramore, will also debut within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 after an impressive sales week of 138,000* units– it will debut at #12. Congratulations to Atlanta rapper, B.o.B.
