103. Lee DeWyze - Blackbird Song
Just released today, was just used in The Walking Dead. Reminds me of something from The Civil Wars or something that'd be from The Hunger Games soundtracks.
Edit: Up to #86 already! :o
We also have another viral cover hit from Pentatonix. 73. Pentatonix - Say Something

Can we just take a step back and take a look at the current top ten on iTunes right now?
1. Pharrell Williams - Happy - R&B/Pop with soul and funk influences, very upbeat Artist: Pharrell went completely off the map in the late 00s-early 10s, blew up again last summer with "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky," "Happy" becomes his first solo hit in, like, 7 years
2. John Legend - All of Me - R&B power/piano ballad Artist: Well known in the R&B world, but as an overall mainstream artist, has never really had a big hit before
3. Katy Perry - Dark Horse - Pop with strong trance/hip-hop influences Artist: Current pop superstar
4. Jason Derülo - Talk Dirty - Pop/electronic/r&b song that bases its instrumental off of a saxophone hook Artist: Hit it big with three very successful singles off his debut, then quickly turned into a hit or miss singles artist, this is his first real big hit since... "In My Head" in 2010
5. Aloe Blacc - The Man - Pop/R&B/soul, chilled, laid-back Artist: Gained some notice when "I Need a Dollar" was used in a commercial, but he was virtually unheard of until late 2013 when his uncredited vocals were a part of one of this biggest hits of the year. This is his first solo hit that he has credit on.
6. Idina Menzel - Let It Go - Pop/theatrical/musical piece Artist: Wildly popular in the Broadway/musical scene, though not well known in the mainstream audience until now thanks to Frozen - some may know her as Adele Dazeem
7. The Chainsmokers - #Selfie - Viral hit/EDM/"Vocals" are mostly spoken word Artist: Have had some remix success, but mostly unheard of until "#Selfie" went viral.
8. Bastille - Pompeii - Alt/indie rock/synthpop Artist: Took about 2 years before had their first hit in their homeland, about a year later, scoring their first worldwide hit off of their debut album.
9. Florida Georgia Line - This Is How We Roll - Country with strong rock/pop influences, major collaboration Artist: Both FGL and Luke Bryan are VERY well known in the country world and both have crossed over into the mainstream knowledge as well. FGL have even had success on Top 40 prior with "Cruise." Surprisingly, LB has yet to cross over into pop, but he is very well known despite that.
10. American Authors - Best Day of My Life - Alt/indie rock/pop Artist: Scoring their first hit with their second single a year after its initial release
There's a lot going on in there. Most of the artist are scoring their first big hits or first big hits in a long time. Most of them have sounds that wouldn't really have worked just a few years ago. Many genres are being represented: pop, country, r&b, electronic/dance/EDM, alternative rock. Instruments range from beautiful pianos, to swanky saxophones, to heavily produced synthesizers. The hits got there from many walk of life as well: coming easy from hit artists, taking a long time to finally become popular, going viral, coming from a hit musical. Such a diverse top ten! Things are looking WAY up for 2014.

Who is George Tandy Jr.? Why is"March" number 10? Where did this come from?
Also, love seeing Prince's "FALLINLOVE2NITE" moving close to the top 100 (#125 right now). People loved it on 'New Girl', it would be great to see Prince have his first big pop hit in 20 years.

R&B artist George Tandy, Jr., the son of musicians Candi Tandy and George Tandy, Sr., attended high school in Virginia, where he learned to play several instruments and developed his talent. Thanks to encouragement from his mother, Tandy moved to Florida and concentrated on singing, songwriting, and playing keyboards while working as a hip-hop dancer. The independent RedStar label signed him and released his debut single, the understated and mature ballad "March," in September 2013. Closer to early John Legend and introspective Robin Thicke than most contemporary R&B releases by artists Tandy's age, the song quickly reached Billboard's Adult R&B chart. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

What I meant is why is his 6 month old song with minimal mainstream airplay suddenly in the iTunes top ten. Was it performed on The Voice or in some kind of ad campaign?

He's getting a lot of promo lately like being on Queen Latifah show. But they were on The Steve Harvey show and they sent a tweet thanking him "Our song "March" reaches #10 on the Itunes singles charts thanks to Steve Harvey! Thanks Uncle Steve" so that's who they're crediting.

Flatline flatlined quickly. "Heaven Knows" is getting closer to the Top 100. I have a strange feeling that song will be a hit.
