     *A remix of Justin Timberlake's ballad "Until the End of Time" featuring added verses from Beyonce was released on Sept. 27th. Two weeks later, the single has jumped from No. 41 to 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the first solo male artist this decade to spawn six top 40 hits from the same album.

      The last person to accomplish this feat was Michael Jackson, who had seven Top 40 hits from his "Dangerous" album between 1991 and 1993. Timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" album, released in September 2006, has the top 40 hits "SexyBack," "My Love," "What Goes Around…Comes Back Around," "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows" and "Summer Love" so far.

      According to Billboard.com, the Beyonce remix of "Until the End of Time" may have helped "give the track a jump in the last week, but the song was already on the move, having hit the top five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with last week's issue."

       Meanwhile, Soulja Boy continues his reign at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)" topping the chart for a fifth non-consecutive week.
