Plus, Dr. Dre has his highest debut ever...
Wiz Khalifa's Pittsburgh Steeler anthem "Black and Yellow" moves up three spots this week to grab the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, despite the fact that the Steelers dropped the Super Bowl to the Green Bay Packers. The song got some huge airplay leading up to the game, and scored 198,000 downloads last week. It's only the second ever #1 hit for Roadrunner Records, who reached the top back in 2001 with Nickelback's "How You Remind Me".
Elsewhere, Dr. Dre debuts at #5 with "I Need A Doctor", featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey. It's Dre's highest debut ever. The track moved 226,000 downloads in its first week.
Far*East Movement is up two places to #7 this week with "Rocketeer", featuring Ryan Tedder.
