Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" knocks off Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" to land the band its first No. 1 single in America, on sales of 246,000. The scarier prospect, though, is the rise of Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl," which jumps two slots to No. 2 leapfrogging "Lollipop" at No. 3. Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" slips to No. 4 and Rihanna's "Take a Bow" holds at No. 5.
