      *Not only has T.I. set a record for the biggest jump to No. 1 on Billboard's singles chart, but he also scores his first unassisted Hot 100 topper of his career.

       "Whatever You Like," the current single from his upcoming album "Paper Trail," soars from No. 71 to No. 1 in its third week on the list. It's the rapper's first No. 1 as a lead artist (he was featured on Justin Timberlake's 2006 chart-topper "My Love"), and his opening-week digital sum is the best by a rap track since Nielsen SoundScan began compiling download data in 2003.

       T.I.'s new Grand Hustle/Atlantic album, "Paper Trail," will be released September 30.      

       The Atlanta artist pled guilty to federal weapons charges in conjunction with an October 2007 arrest in Atlanta. He will serve a year in jail after completing 1,000 hours of community service.
