OutKast beat themselves to the top

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Hip-Hop duo OutKast beat themselves to the No. 1 slot on Billboard's Hot 100 this week.

The latest listing published Thursday puts "The Way You Move" featuring Sleepy Brown right at the top after eight weeks waiting in the wings at No. 2. But the move knocks "Hey Ya!," also by OutKast from the No. 1 position it has held for the past nine weeks, down to No. 3.

Twista's "Slow Jamz" moves up one from No. 3 into the No.2 slot between the two OutKast singles. Featuring Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, it has been receiving a little more radio play than the OutKast song. However, "The Way You Move" has been selling more strongly, which gives it a slight edge on the Hot 100.

Topping Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks tally for the fourth week in a row is Twista's "Slow Jamz," the most played video clip on MTV.
