RIHANNA has scored a second week at the top of the U.S. pop charts, despite a challenge from AMERICAN IDOL runner-up DAVID ARCHULETA.
The newcomer's single Crush becomes the Billboard Hot 100's highest chart debut in more than 18 months after rocketing to number two thanks mainly to 166,000 first-week downloads.
Archuleta's hit just didn't have the power to topple Rihanna's Disturbia.
Forever, by the R+B star's boyfriend Chris Brown, slips to leash on the new graph and Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl falls to quatern.
Meanwhile, country star Kenny Chesney wads his number one top 50 debut on the Hot 100 with Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven at number 41.
