Topping the list is "Better in Time" by Leona Lewis. "Single" by New Kids on the Block and Ne-Yo came in 3rd, followed by Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight," remaining in the No. 4 spot for the 3rd week in a row. “Crush” is No. 2 this week on the Vh1 Top 20 Countdown.

I guess that means David is definitely gonna be at the New York Jingle Ball. I thought they weren't going to officially announce the line up until the 12th. BTW, it looks like David will <em>not</em> be doing the <a href="http://www.y100.com/pages/08jb/performingArtists.html" rel="nofollow">Y100 Jingle Ball in Florida</a> on the 13th of December. I'm actually glad that he isn't because if he had taken on that show as well, it would have meant that he'd be doing 7 shows on 7 consecutive days. He's young. I'm sure he could have handled it. But that would have been way too grueling of a schedule. Thanks Cruz! I guess that means David is definitely gonna be at the New York Jingle Ball.

I don't think that was the intention. In fact, I know that it is not the label but a family friend who started this, mostly to let kids know it is coming out. I am not even sure how effective it will be since they just decided today to do it, and it is going to be very difficult to get the information out by Monday. Besides, you have to go over there at midnight on a school night. I am not sure many parents are going to go for that.
