Hurricane Chris' "A Bay Bay" continues to rise, moving from No. 13 to No. 8, and T.I.'s "Big Things Poppin' (Do It)" jumps two positions to No. 9, in tandem with Wednesday's No. 1 Billboard 200 debut for his latest Grand Hustle/Atlantic album, "T.I. vs. T.I.P."
After previously peaking at No. 7, Linkin Park's "What I've Done" rebounds from the 24th slot to No. 14 as the chart's greatest digital gainer.
