Week Ending April 22, 2012: A Record For Maroon 5
Billboard's Gary Trust may have put it best: "How ironic that a song about something as old-fashioned as a pay phone sets a digital download record."

Brian McKnight Gets Sexually Explicit On 'If You're Ready To Learn', Fans Divided
If you can't beat them, I suppose you join them. R&B veteran Brian McKnight has joined the club of raunchy male singers R. Kelly, Chris Brown and Akon, who actually incorporate profanity in their otherwise smooth ballads.
