Top 40: May 2008 Archives

Like Flo Rida earlier this year, Leona Lewis has maintained her spot at #1 for the month of May. Can she do it again? Will Madonna take the throne? Time will tell. While there is no true second single on the radio from Leona Lewis, "Better In Time" has been slowly creeping on the club scene. However, with Madonna, "Give It 2 Me" has been confirmed as the second single from "Hard Candy," with no radio play as of yet. Look for club mixes from the latter as well.

Other strong contenders for #1 next month include artists such as Lil Wayne, Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. I would say the underdogs for the top spot are Natasha Bedingfield, Danity Kane and John Mayer. We will see what happens! Stay tuned!

In no particular order, here are the songs that dropped out of my Top 40 this month.
