      *Sean Paul’s “Temperature” has warmed up enough fans to earn the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart. The cut, also the chart's greatest airplay gainer, ends the two-week run of Ne-Yo's "So Sick," which falls to No. 3.

      Daniel Powter's "Bad Day," which ushers off exiting “American Idol” contestants, rises 5-2, while James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" falls 3-4.

      Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" may have fallen 4-5 on the Hot 100, but it scores its 13th week atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it has been the sole title to top this chart in 2006.

       Natasha Bedingfield performed her No. 6 song, "Unwritten," backed by an all-black gospel choir on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” Thursday.  Dem Franchize Boyz' "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" featuring Lil Peanut & Charlay moves up 9-7 and T-Pain's "I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper)" featuring Mike Jones scoots up 6-8. Chris Brown's "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" rises 10-9 and Beyoncé's "Check On It" featuring Slim Thug falls 8-10 to round out the top tier.       

       New to the Hot 100 are Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" featuring Wyclef Jean (No. 84), Remy Ma's "Conceited (There's Something About Remy)" (No. 93), and Shawnna's "Gettin' Some" (No. 96).      

       Nelly's "Grillz" featuring Paul Wall, Ali & Gipp holds at No. 1 on the Hot Ringtones chart for an eighth week.

      Swinging over to the Billboard 200 album chart, E-40 enters at No. 3, the highest position of his career, and debuts at No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Charts with his 12th  album, “My Ghetto Report Card.”      

       The set teams E-40 with BME Recordings' head Lil Jon, who executive produced the CD.  Additional production is handled by Rick Rock, E-40's son Droop-e of the Pharmasuticles, Bosko, and Studio Tone with guest features by Mike Jones, T. Pain, Keak da Sneak, Turf Talk, Juelz Santana, B-Legit, The Federation, 8Ball, and UGK.      

       The video for the first single from, "Tell Me When To Go," which features Keak da Sneak, was recently shot by Lil Jon and Director Bernard Gourley (Lyfe Jennings, Three 6 Mafia, Beanie Sigel). The video introduces the world to the Hyphy movement in the Bay:       

       E-40 explains: "It's a movement. It's a culture. It's the way we talk. It's superflambosta. It's really just stunting to the up-most degree. It's showboating and showcasing. It's wardrobe. It's however you feeling. It's energy. It's a dance, several different phases of it, you dig? It's cars. It's showing off. It's whatever. It's Hyphy" -- says E-40.
