Adam Lambert moves up while Justin Bieber slides down Billboard Hot 100

The Billboard Hot 100 chart rankings were released on Thursday and there were a few surprises with some familiar chart toppers.

Adam Lambert's "If I Had You" actually saw a move up the chart this week. After seven weeks of ups and downs, the "American Idol" runner-up made a modest move up to the No. 54 spot. He landed just behind Katy Perry's debut of "Not Like the Movies."

Justin Bieber was not as lucky this week. While it peaked in the No. 15 spot, "Somebody To Love" has dropped all the way down to the No. 76 position this week. After 13 weeks on the chart, the song made a huge drop from the No. 57 spot last week.

Both pop stars continue to do well on the Billboard 200, landing safely in the top half this week. Adam came in at No. 76 while Justin remained in the top 10 with the No. 7 position.

A move up is a move up, I'll take it. Saw this in blogosphere this morning and was hoping for more, to be honest, but as many have said lately, there really is some tough competition, w/ legitimately good tracks. Good for you BB.

American Top 40 and hot 100 is different.

Hot 100 is A LOT MORE IMPORTANT.

Oh god I don't like Bieber at all. I don't get his appeal...I don't get, especially the older women (18 +) who like Bieber because he's like 12.

if they want sexiness then they NEED Adam in their lives and not baby bieber

LOL i don't see any sex appeal from Bieber at all. He doesn't even have a nice and big mascular body like Adam's.

Also, I heard he's 5'4?? (not that there's anything wrong with it because my BF is 5'5 himself)

well Adam has his fans and little Bieber has his. Their fans are nothing like each other, as it should be, since Bieber is only 16 and Adam is 28.Who will be a super star for years to come? My bet is on Adam, no contest.

i6 no way i honestly thought he was around 12/13
Adam will be around for decades,bieber maybe 2 years, susie

Why are Beiber and Adam even being compared? There shouldn't be any competition between them. Different music first off. Beiber is a teenage boy. Adam is a man. Beiber has the attitude of someone who has some personal growth ahead of him in life. Adam has an old soul. Two very different artists, with very different history and life experience...who express it each in their own way. I don't even see how a comparison can be made on any level. I personally am not a fan of Beiber. I don't dislike him, just no appeal on any level. He is a kid with an attitude. Does not appeal to me. Adam on the other hand has unbelievable vocal ability, performance style and his philosophy of live is love, acceptance and joy based. My preference is Adam. I in no way understand the comparison, other than the fans who want to create competition between the two.

Mr.Beiber is WAY to young for me to have any interest in at all...and he does look like he's about 12...but that's okay...have some young family members who like him AND Adam...there is room out there in the music world for everyone....

Bieber is a baby, Adam is a man. Big difference. No contest. I also don't know why there is even a comparison.I would think Bieber would appeal to 12-16yr olds and Adam appeals to men, women and teens of all ages. Even Adam wouldn't cut down a kid. It's a big world and the teeny boppers have to have a heart throb too! Adam's still moving in the right direction. It's all good. funbunn40

what is it about Justin Bieba? brings me back to the days of bobby sherman, remember him david cassidy, please that's all this is. Don't even put adam in the category that pre-teens are going for. It means nothing in the great scheme of artitic music ability. We all know that, but teens will be teens and they rule right now, unfornuately there is nothing us glamberts can do right now but hope they see the real talent in thier world today! I love you teenagers and your smart so wake up please!

Bieber is full of energy and he too is a showman. There music is totally differant really. I find no reason to trash the kid. He has some mighty big names behind him $$$ and I think Adam and Bieber respect each other. In this industry it doesn't pay to bad mouth each other and they do not. Why would they? Just because you like one artist doesn't mean you have to hate the competition. They both have huge fan bases, let it go at that. Bieber has some huge names behind him with years of experiance too. Adam is his own man and I might say has done very well with his concepts as well.
