THE MINUTE THEY ENTERED THE CHART: You can see Freeway and Jay-Z are men of distinction from their new entry at No. 70 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. "Hey Big Spender" (Roc-A-Fella) interpolates the song of the same name from the Broadway musical "Sweet Charity," written by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields.

Jay-Z has dipped into the Broadway songbook before. In November 1998, he went to No. 10 with "Hard Knock life (Ghetto Anthem)," incorporating a song from the musical "Annie."

The most recent Broadway song to appear on the R&B chart before "Hey Big Spender" was "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani featuring Eve. Based on "If I Were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler on the Roof," the song peaked at No. 78 in February 2005.

"Hey Big Spender" is the eighth chart entry for Freeway since he made his debut in December 2001 and the 78th for Jay-Z since his debut in March 1996.
