CHARTS: Pink gets first No. 1, Metallica keeps its streak alive

"So What," Pink's kiss-off to her ex-husband, becomes her first No. 1 single this week, pushing last week's chart-topper T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" to No. 2.

Of course, T.I. can't be too upset since he also debuts at No. 5, as part of Jay-Z's new single "Swagga Like Us," from the upcoming "Blueprint 3" album. His recent duet partner Rihanna holds at No. 3 with "Disturbia," while M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" climbs another notch.

Over on the albums charts, Metallica needed only three days to sell 490,000 copies of its "Death Magnetic" album, opting to release it on a Friday so it could be released internationally on the same day. "Death Magnetic" becomes the band's fifth No. 1 album in a row and makes it the only group to ever have five No. 1 albums.

Last week's No. 1 Young Jeezy's "The Recession" slips a notch to No. 2, while Kid Rock climbs a notch to No. 3 with "Rock N Roll Jesus." Jessica Simpson's first country album "Do You Know" debuts at No. 4 and Slipknot's "All Hope Is Gone" holds at No. 5.
