• T.I. "Likes" Making Hot 100 History

  Los Angeles (E! Online) - House arrest has paid off big time for T.I.

  The rapper, who recorded his forthcoming Paper Trail whil

  e confined to his Atlanta-area home, made chart history as his album single "Whatever You Like" rocketed 70 spots to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100. This sets a new record for the biggest jump to the top slot, besting Maroon 5's record-setting 63-spot jump for "Makes Me Wonder" back in May 2007.

  T.I.'s track rocketed to No. 1 thanks to downloads, selling 205,000 copies in its first week in online stores. That gives "Whatever You Like" the biggest digital sales debut by a rap artist since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking downloads five years ago.

  The single got a boost from the iTunes' "Countdown to Paper Trail" promotion, in which a new T.I. single or video is released each week leading up to the album's Sept. 30 street date. All purchases count toward buying the full album upon release. (Just make sure to buy the new "Whatever You Like" and not his prior Nicole Scherzinger collaboration of the same name.)

  Although T.I. previously topped the charts as a guest on Justin Timberlake's 2006 hit "My Love," "Whatever You Like" is the rapper's first solo No. 1.

  T.I. had been confined to his home awaiting trail on gun charges; he eventually copped a plea in March and was sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service and up to one year in the pen.

  Pink, meanwhile, scored the week's biggest bow with her new Max Martin-produced single "So What." The lead single to her forthcoming Funhouse, set for a Halloween-week debut, sold 117,000 digital copies for a No. 9 launch.

  Also making waves are a pair of opportunistic cover songs. With Kid Rock yet to release "All Summer Long" as a digital single, the Hit Masters' version continues to gain traction. In its second week, the single jumped 46 spots to No. 19 on 96,000 downloads.

  And now that Estelle has pulled "American Boy" off iTunes, the Studio All-Stars' take debuted at No. 85 this week, while the original dropped 26 spots on the Hot 100 and 53 spots on the Hot Digital Songs chart.

• Rapper T.I. sets record with singles chart-topper

  NEW YORK (Billboard) - Rapper T.I. has set a new record for the biggest leap to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart.

  His new tune, "Whatever You Like," soared 70 places to No. 1 in its third week on the list, thanks to a No. 1 opening on the Hot Digital Songs chart with 205,000 downloads.

  The old record for the biggest leap to the top was held by Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder," which jumped 63 places in May 2007. "Whatever You Like" marks T.I.'s first No. 1 as a lead artist (he was featured on Justin Timberlake's 2006 chart-topper, "My Love").

  Elsewhere on the Hot 100, Rihanna's "Disturbia" fell to No. 2 after two weeks on top. The R&B singer claimed the No. 10 spot with "Take a Bow," which was also down two places.

  Chris Brown's "Forever" and Katy Perry's former champ "I Kissed a Girl" remained at Nos. 3 and 4 respectively, while Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall's "Dangerous" featuring Akon jumped two places to No. 5.

  M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" held at No. 6, Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" fell two to No. 7, and Ne-Yo's "Closer" inched up one to No. 8. Pink's "So What" was the top debut at No. 9 after selling 117,000 downloads in its first week. This is the best Hot 100 opening of the pop star's career.

  Also new was Metallica's "The Day That Never Comes" at No. 31. It is the rock band's first song to debut on the Hot 100 in eight years, since the prophetically-titled "I Disappear" peaked at No. 76 in June 2000. Only one Metallica single has had a higher entry point: "Until It Sleeps," the band's lone top 10 hit to date, started at No. 10 in 1996.

• T.I. sets record for jump to top of singles chart

  NEW YORK (Billboard) - Rapper T.I. establishes the mark for biggest jump to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 as his single "W

  hatever You Like" soars from No. 71 to No. 1 in its third week on the list.

  The new chart will be published Thursday (August 28) on Billboard.com.

  A No. 1 opening on the Hot Digital Songs chart with debut-week sales of 205,000 downloads is the impetus for the record-setting Hot 100 move, which surpasses the leap from No. 64 to No. 1 that Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder" took in May 2007.

  "Like" is 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 performer 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.
