Things are constantly on the up-and-up for once counted out diva Christina Aguilera.  Aside from working on a follow-up to 2010’s ‘Bionic’ and landing a second season of hit reality talent show ‘The Voice’, the singer can now celebrate landing her first #1 single in ten years.

Billboard reports:

“Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” featuring Christina Aguilera, struts to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, rolling 4-1 with Airplay Gainer honors for a third consecutive week. The song marks Maroon 5’s second Hot 100 No. 1. The band previously reigned for three weeks in 2007 with “Makes Me Wonder.” For Aguilera, the return to the chart’s apex ends an even greater hiatus. She had last ruled alongside Lil’ Kim, Mya and P!nk on “Lady Marmalade” for five weeks in 2001. “Jagger” is Aguilera’s fifth Hot 100 No. 1

Here’s hoping things ‘Keep Getting Better’.
