Sorry it's late dudes! This week sees barely anything new going on in the top 10 at all, and me feeling very stupid for not realising that P Diddy was just giffing on over a Jay-Z track instead of being a musical genius etc etc. I blame it all on the fact that I am HORRENDOUSLY busy (which has also meant a rather hasty poll, sorry if I've missed anything out).

I took the info off the OCC website (http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_singles.php), no idea why TI isn't on there. He's surely reasonably well know since the Justin Timberlake song he was on did REALLY well?

Chart Stats has decided to just credit it to Jay-Z only ha

That's bizarre, as it's listed on iTunes as Jay-Z & TI (featuring Kanye & Lil Wayne)

Plus, it's going to be on the Jay-Z and TI solo albums, but wasn't on Lil' Wayne's and presumably won't be on Kanye's.

It might be because the actual UK lead single off the TI album, 'Whatever You Like' (which is MUCH better than 'Swagga Like Us'), seems to be slowly making its way up the chart as well, and if that's getting the promo push then presumably the record company doesn't want to confuse people by pushing two lead TI singles simultaneously.

I must say I thought it was TI featuring [the rest of hip hop].

Slightly more importantly, though, is it Swagger or Swagga (I've seen both cited)?

And if it is 'Swagga' as in Ragga, then surely the title ought to be "Swagga Like We" ;)

Billboard credits it to Jay-Z & T.I. Probably some U.K. typist made the decision to keep T.I. off. However, I think Kanye's rap is the one that drives the song. Who's the producer?
