NEW YORK (Billboard) – Pitbull unleashed his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Wednesday as "Give Me Everything" rose one place to the top, ending a record 19-week reign by lead female artists.
The Miami rapper claimed the crown more than seven years after he first appeared on the Hot 100 with "Culo" in April 2004. His journey to the top is the longest for a male soloist since Lil Wayne waited almost nine years between his first chart visit in 1999 and the 2008 five-week champ "Lollipop."
Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" fell to No. 2 after seven weeks on top (the longest stay at No. 1 this year). Before her reign, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Lady Gaga took turns at the top.
LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, remained at No. 3. Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" spent a second week at No. 4.
Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" rose three to No. 5, passing Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" (steady at No. 6) and Perry's former five-week No. 1 "E.T" (down two at No. 7).
Following the song's unveiling in a live performance on the June 21 episode of NBC's "The Voice," Maroon 5 -- led by series coach Adam Levine -- and featured artist and fellow "Voice" coach Christina Aguilera debuted at No. 8 with "Moves Like Jagger." Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" held at No. 9, and Lil Wayne's "How to Love" rose three to No. 10.
