Christmas compilation, and Jackie Evancho's "O Holy Night", are out of the Top 10. Their vacant slots at the second, third and fourth are claimed by Eminem's Rihanna's "Loud" and Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" respectively.

The likes of Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", Daft Punk's "Tron Legacy" soundtrack, Bruno Mars's "Doo - Wops & Hooligans", and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" make their return after being absent for some weeks and more.

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal Split, Reasons Revealed

 Taylor Swift is undoubtedly one of today's biggest stars but she is still unlucky in love. Recently getting a lot of attention for her romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, the singer is single again in early 2011 as sources say she and the actor called it quits just before New Year's Eve.

While representatives for both stars refuse to comment on the report, a source

reveals that it was Jake who first thought that they could not be together anymore. "Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he's not acting as interested," the source tells Us Weekly.

"He said he wasn't feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got," the source adds. "He also said he could feel the age difference. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn't listen."

An insider close to the "Brothers" actor adds, "Jake cares about her, but [the publicity] was a lot for him. He wants to keep his private life private, and that's hard to do dating Taylor."

The couple, who was first reported dating in October last year, has since spent their holidays apart. Taylor rang in 2011 in Nashville while Jake was in New York. They were last seen hanging out together on December 9 in Los Angeles.

Wow, what a year 2010 has been for Taylor Swift! In addition to being named EW’s Entertainer of the Year, as well as having landed Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Swift is celebrating her 21st birthday today! The singer told Us Weekly that;

“I want a Christmas-themed birthday, because I love Christmas as much as my birthday,”
“Combining the two just seems like the perfect festivity.”

And like most people when they hit that magic age of 21, Taylor is looking forward to the benefits that come with finally being of legal age!

“It’ll be cool to get into the 21-and-over places my friends go to,”

I have a hard time believing that there were many places that Taylor Swift couldn’t get into, but at least now she’ll be going there legally! The singer also tweeted yesterday that her friends;

” Tonight @caitlinbird and @elizabethhuett knocked on my door- they brought a pizza with a lit 21 candle on it and bday hats. ,”
