A huge leap up the Billboard Hot 100 saw Mims top the US chart this week, with 'This Is Why I'm Hot'.

The single moved up 31 to take the top spot, ending Justin Timberlake's hopes of a second successive week at number 1. 'What Goes Around... Comes Around' dropped two places to number 3, leapfrogged by Akon's 'Don't Matter' into second place.

Last week's number two, 'Runaway Love' by Ludacris, dropped seven to number nine, while another big jump up the Hot 100 saw Rihanna and Sean Paul creep into the top ten with 'Break It Off', having been 42 places lower last week.

1. (32) Mims: 'This Is Why I'm Hot'
2. (5) Akon: 'Don't Matter'
3. (1) Justin Timberlake: 'What Goes Around... Comes Around'
