The song ia from the upcoming re-released edition of her album subtitled The Complete Confection. The last song to debut at #1 was Lady GaGa's Born this Way a year ago.

While she didn't hit #1 this week Adele still had a great week. She is still in command of the Billboard 200 Albums for a 21st week and selling 730K copies with, all 3 singles from that album are inside the top 10. Set Fire to the Rain holds at #2, 59-week old single Rolling in the Deep leaps to #5 and 33-week old single Someone Like You jumps to #7.

The late Whitney Houston's former #1 single I Will Always Love You (which was a re-entered the chart last week thanks to a policy change) jumps up to #3 this week. Also, I Wanna Dance With Somebody is up to #25, Greatest Love Of All is at #36 and How Will I Know re-enters the chart at #49.

Last week's #1 Stronger by Kelly drops to #4 but expect it to go back to #2 or even #1 as the song is surging in airplay and sales are consistent. Also, fun.'s We Are Young drops to #6 from #3 last week but it's back at #1 on iTunes and with rising radio airplay to boot so we would likely see the song stay in the top 10 for awhile.

Aside from the #1 debut of Katy Perry's latest track, two other new songs debuts in the top 10 and both songs also got a sales boost from the Grammy Awards: Nicki Minaj's Starships at #9 and Chris Brown's Turn Up the Music at #10.

British boybands are making promising moves on the chart this week: The Wanted's Glad You Came rises to #23 and is currently #4 on US iTunes so expect to jump in the top 20, maybe top 10, next week while One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful debuts strong at #28.
