Ke$ha Claims U.s. Christmas Number One With Debut

Pop newcomer KE$HA has denied JAY-Z and ALICIA KEYS the coveted Christmas number one - her single TIK TOK has knocked EMPIRE STATE OF MIND from the top of the U.S. Billboard chart.

The New York anthem slips to second place after ruling the Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks, while positions three to five remain unchanged - Lady GaGa’s Bad Romance sits at three, followed by Iyaz’s Replay and Fireflies by Owl City.

Meanwhile, Eminem scores a chart debut with Hell Breaks Loose shooting into the Hot 100 at number 29.
