R&B singer Akon landed his second No. 1 on the Hot 100 singles chart Thursday, as “Don’t Matter” jumped two places to the top.

The song follows “I Wanna Love You,” which held at No. 1 for two weeks in December. Both come from the album, “Konvicted,” from which another single, “Smack That,” peaked at No. 2 in November after making what was then the largest jump (95-7) in the history of Billboard’s flagship singles chart.

That distinction now belongs to Beyonce and Shakira’s “Beautiful Liar,” which rocketed 91 places to No. 3, thanks to digital sales of 150,000 copies. The track comes from a new edition of Beyonce’s “B-Day” album, due April 3.

Last week’s No. 1, Fergie’s “Glamorous,” slipped to No. 2, while Mims’ former chart-topper “This Is Why I’m Hot” dropped two to No. 4. Gym Class Heroes’ “Cupid’s Chokehold” featuring Patrick Stump fell one to No. 5, while Gwen Stefani’s “The Sweet Escape” featuring Akon slipped one to No. 6.

Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” inched up one to No. 7, followed by Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s” featuring Polow Da Don, down two to No. 8, Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around … Comes Around,” steady at No. 9, and Daughtry’s “It’s Not Over,” which dropped three to No. 10.

Katharine McPhee’s “Over It” jumped 20 places to No. 29. The song was featured on a recent episode of MTV’s “The Hills,” prompting online sales to jump 60% to 40,000.

The chart’s top debut came from crooner Michael Buble’s “Everything” at No. 46, his best Hot 100 showing to date. The artist’s next album, “Call Me Irresponsible,” arrives May 1.

Also new was former “American Idol” contestant Elliott Yamin’s “Wait for You” at No. 67, Big & Rich’s “Lost in this Moment” at No. 72, Joss Stone’s “Tell Me ‘Bout It” at No. 83, Pink’s “Who Knew” at No. 95 and Emerson Drive’s “Moments” at No. 97.
