Timbaland's second song in a row to debut is similar to what occurred back in December, when Nickelback re-entered with "Rockstar" the same week as "If Everyone Cared" debuted.

Two different versions of the same song, "Umbrella" are on the chart. I cannot recall another time on the HAC chart where this has happened before.
