MAGIC!'s 'Rude' No. 1 on Hot 100, Sam Smith SurgesThe Canadian pop/reggae group spends a second week at the summit, while Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me' lifts 5-3 after it became available for streaming on Spotify MAGIC!'s "Rude" rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week, while Sam Smith makes the biggest move within the top 10, as "Stay With Me" pushes 5-3 after the song became available to be streamed on Spotify. Not to be rude … but enough introduction. Let's get right into our weekly rundown of the Hot 100's top 10 and more. "Rude" logs a third week at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with 195,000 downloads sold (up 6 percent) in the week ending July 20, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It tallies a second week at its No. 2 highpoints on both Radio Songs (159 million all-format audience impressions, up 4 percent, according to Nielsen BDS) and Streaming Songs (9.4 million U.S. streams, up 13 percent). "Rude" tops the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart for a second week (3.4 million on-demand streams, up 3 percent). As previously reported, "Rude" takes over atop Adult Top 40 (aka, Adult Pop Songs), marking MAGIC!'s first airplay chart No. 1. Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100; it fell last week after seven weeks at No. 1. Still, it leads Streaming Songs for a 10th week (12.2 million, up 16 percent). It's just the third title to top Streaming Songs for double-digit weeks since the list launched early last year, and the first by an artist not named Miley Cyrus. Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" led for 13 weeks after previous single "We Can't Stop" reigned for 11. "Fancy" rebounds 4-3 on Digital Songs (which it led for four weeks), up by 1 percent to 155,000, while dipping 4-5 on Radio Songs (125 million, down 10 percent); it spent three weeks at No. 1 on the ranking. "Rude" widens its lead over "Fancy" atop the Hot 100. As the former gains by 7 percent in overall points and the latter, by 2 percent, "Rude" boasts a 6 percent points lead. Last week, "Rude" dethroned "Fancy" by a mere 1 percent margin. "Fancy" crowns Hot Rap Songs for a 14th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a ninth frame, while dominating the Songs of the Summer chart for an eighth week. It continues as the only song that's led the seasonal list since it made its annual return after Memorial Day. Meanwhile, below the Hot 100's top 10, both Azalea and Charli XCX climb with follow-up singles. Charli XCX's "Boom Clap" lifts 16-14, spurred in part by its 39-24 vault on Radio Songs (44 million, up 36 percent), while Azalea's "Black Widow," featuring Rita Ora, bounds 65-45, up 33-23 on Digital Songs (59,000, up 42 percent). Already perhaps making a play for the Hot 100's next No. 1? Sam Smith's "Stay With Me," which jumps 5-3 with dual top Streaming Gainer and Airplay Gainer honors. The ballad blasts 15-5 on Streaming Songs with a 70 percent gain to 5.9 million streams and storms onto On-Demand Songs with 2.6 million (up 386 percent from 534,000) after it became available on Spotify on July 12; following its first full week on the service, Spotify plays account for 37 percent of the song's streams in the tracking week. "Stay" claims the Airplay Gainer award for a second consecutive week and for the third time in four weeks. It lifts 5-3 on Radio Songs with a 10 percent increase to 139 million. Trivia time: MAGIC!, Azalea and Smith lock up the Hot 100's top three with their respective first chart entries (as lead artists). When did rookies last control the top three simultaneously? April 28, 2012, when Gotye ("Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra), fun. ("We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae) and the Wanted ("Glad You Came") ranked at Nos. 1-2-3, in that order. For good measure, One Direction's debut hit "What Makes You Beautiful" followed at No. 4 that week. Ariana Grande's "Problem," featuring Azalea, drops 3-4 on the Hot 100 (after peaking at No. 2 for five weeks), while Nico & Vinz's "Am I Wrong" slips to No. 5 from its No. 4 highpoint. Still, the latter leads Radio Songs for a third week (165 million, up 2 percent). John Legend's former three-week Hot 100 No. 1 "All of Me" continues to rebound incrementally, rising 7-6 after ranking at No. 8 two weeks ago. Maroon 5's "Maps" travels 8-7 to reach a new Hot 100 peak so far. It climbs 7-6 on Digital Songs (105,000, up less than 1 percent); bullets for a second week at No. 9 on Radio Songs (72 million, up 10 percent); and retreats 13-15 on Streaming Songs, but with a 1 percent gain to 3.6 million. Jason Derulo's No. 5-peaking "Wiggle," featuring Snoop Dogg, slides 6-8 on the Hot 100, while Disclosure's "Latch," featuring Smith, ascends 10-9 and crowns the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Calvin Harris' "Summer," which peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100, falls 9-10 (and departs the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs summit after four weeks on top). While no songs enter the Hot 100's top 10 this week, notable action outside the region (in addition to Charli XCX and Azalea's ascents) include jumps for Sia's "Chandelier" (13-11); Clean Bandit's "Rather Be," featuring Jess Glynne (32-22); and Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" (84-54), the chart's Digital Gainer, thanks to its 39-18 charge up Digital Songs with a 63 percent increase to 64,000. Hot 100 debuts include 5 Seconds of Summer's "Everything I Didn't Say" (No. 24) and new Billboard 200 leader Weird Al Yankovic's grammar-lesson parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," "Word Crimes" (No. 39). The comic icon scores his fourth top 40 hit on the Hot 100, following "Eat It" (No. 12, 1984), "Smells Like Nirvana" (No. 35, 1992) and "White & Nerdy" (No. 9, 2006). Reinforcing his longevity, he's, thus, now sent a new single into the top 40 in each of the last four decades, something that only two other acts have done: Michael Jackson and Madonna, both of whom, he's, of course, ribbed in his inimitable good-natured way. (Jackson's streak actually stretches back to the '70s, as, earlier this year, "Love Never Felt So Good," with Justin Timberlake, rose to No. 9. The peak made the late King of Pop the first artist with top 10s in five distinct decades, and six if including his hits with the Jackson 5.) www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/chart-alert/6176803/magic-rude-no-1-hot-100-sam-smith-surges

Wow, Weird Al debuted way lower than I thought.
Edit: Oh wait, did the streaming re-adjustment take place after that Soko song debuted?

This guy does do his own estimates. Mostly for total sales of albums... And he does post his sources on his Twitter page. |

Did Billboard make a comment about a streaming re-adjustment?
In May, "Billie Jean" re-entered top 20 with high streaming- and that streaming accounted for 95% of its chart points.

I think they did adjust it after Soko (as will as Livin on a Prayer). If I recall correctly, Only Time was one of the first streaming "hits" to feel the impact of the streaming change when it re-entered far lower than the YouTube views would have indicated (right?). Or my memory could be completely faulty.
Still, great for Al. Also hoping Sia, Clean Bandit, and Charli XCX can hit the top ten.

So Al has only had four songs reach the Top 40 and they've all been in separate decades? If so, that's impressive. Though I can't believe Amish Paradise didn't make it.

Comedy singles as a whole don't chart much and really haven't with any regularity since the 70s

And they had to stress "new" top 40 singles, otherwise Whitney Houston and Bon Jovi would be on the list thanks to older songs re-charting.

music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/chart-watch-chart-rookies-have-top-three-songs-212351787.htmlChart Watch: Chart Rookies Have Top Three Songs There’s an old saying that “new artists are the lifeblood of the music business.” In that case, the beleaguered music business may have some life it in yet. The top three spots on this week’s Hot 100 are all by lead artists riding their first chart hits. MAGIC!'s “Rude” holds at #1 for the second week, Iggy Azalea's “Fancy” (featuring Charli XCX) holds at #2 for the second week following a seven-week run on top, and Sam Smith's “Stay With Me” jumps from #5 to #3. This marks the first time that new artists have locked up the top three spots since April 2012, when the top three hits were “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra, “We Are Young” by fun. featuring Janelle Monae and The Wanted's “Glad You Came.” (The only difference is that those were the Hot 100 breakthroughs even for the two featured artists, Kimbra and Monae, whereas the featured artist in the current case, Charli XCX, had previously charted, and even made the top 10, as the featured artist on Icona Pop's “I Love It.”) "Rude" is the first song by a group (as opposed to a duo) to top the Hot 100 since Maroon 5's “One More Night” led for nine weeks in 2012. "Rude" is also #1 for the third week on Hot Digital Songs (195K). It’s the first song by a group (as opposed to a duo) to have more than a single frame on top of the digital chart since "We Are Young" spent seven weeks on top in early 2012. (Yes, this means that "One More Night" never topped Hot Digital Songs.) "Fancy" leads Streaming Songs (one of the component charts that feed the Hot 100) for a 10th week. It’s only the third song to spend 10 or more weeks at #1 since Streaming Songs was introduced early last year. Miley Cyrus had the first two: “We Can’t Stop” (11 weeks) and “Wrecking Ball” (13 weeks). "Fancy" also tops Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the ninth week, an all-time record for an all-female collabo. (It had been in a tie with "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy & Monica, which was on top for eight weeks in 1998.) Also, “Fancy” tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week.Both of the singers on “Fancy” continue streaking up the Hot 100 with their follow-ups. Azalea’s “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora) leaps from #65 to #45 in its third week. Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap” jumps from #16 to #14 in its seventh week. As for Smith, “Stay With Me” may well be the next #1 on the Hot 100. How long will it take to get there? Place your bets. Here are quick summaries of this week’s other top chart stories. "Latch" by Disclosure featuring Sam Smith jumps from #10 to #9 in its 18th week. It moves up to #1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, displacing Calvin Harris's “Summer,” which led for four weeks. Sia's “Chandelier” jumps from #13 to #11 in its 11th week. This makes up for Sia's steep dive on The Billboard 200. 1000 Forms Of Fear tumbles from #1 to #19 in its second week. "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne jumps from #32 to #22 in its sixth week. The song spent four weeks at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart in February. 5 Seconds of Summer's “Everything I Didn't Say” debuts at #24. It's the sixth song to be released in the lead-up to the group's first full-length album, which is set to enter The Billboard 200 at #1 next week with sales in the 250K to 275K range. All six songs have charted. One, “Amnesia,” made the top 20. "Weird Al" Yankovic's “Word Crimes” debuts at #39. It's Yankovic's fourth top 40 hit, following “Eat It” (#12 in April 1984), “Smells Like Nirvana” (#35 in May 1992) and “White & Nerdy” (#9 in October 2006). Notice anything interesting about that roster? Yankovic has had a top 40 hit in each of the last four decades. Billboard's Gary Trust notes that just two other artists (Michael Jackson and Madonna) can make that boast. Yankovic, of course, has tweaked both of those artists—Jackson on “Eat It” and “Fat” and Madonna on “Like A Surgeon.” Meghan Trainor's”All About That Bass” leaps from #84 to #54 in its second week. Trainor, 20, co-wrote her breakthrough hit with Kevin Kadish, who also produced it. One Republic's “Counting Stars” tops the 5 million mark in digital sales this week. The song reached #2 on the Hot 100. The group's breakthrough hit, “Apologize” (which was credited as Timbaland featuring OneRepublic) also topped the 5M mark in digital sales and also peaked at #2. Its current hit, “Love Runs Out,” is moving toward the top 10. It ranked #17 last week. Ellie Goulding's “Burn” tops the 2 million mark in digital sales this week. The song reached #13 on the Hot 100. Rixton's “Me And My Broken Heart” debuts at #1 on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart. The song reached #14 on the Hot 100. Rixton's song has climbed higher in the U.K. than Rob Thomas's “Lonely No More,” which it resembles (to the degree that Thomas was given a co-writing credit on the new song). Thomas' hit reached #11 in the U.K. in 2005

It’s only the third song to spend 10 or more weeks at #1 since Streaming Songs was introduced early last year. Miley Cyrus had the first two: “We Can’t Stop” (11 weeks) and “Wrecking Ball” (13 weeks). *sigh* "ONLY" 3 songs have spent 10+ weeks at No. 1 in the past year-and-a-half? wouldn't "already" have been more appropriate? maybe it's just me, but 3 songs staying on top for 10+ weeks in a period of what...60-70 weeks...seems like a lot, not an "only". Billboard did the same thing not too long ago when it was talking about the Dance/Electronic Songs Chart. |

music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/chart-watch-5-seconds-weird-al-top-debuts-004340361.htmlChart Watch: 5 Seconds, 'Weird Al' Top DebutsBy Paul Grein, Yahoo! Chart Watch Just five songs enter the Hot 100 this week, but two of them get off to very fast starts. 5 Seconds of Summer's “Everything I Didn't Say” opens at #24. "Weird Al" Yankovic's”Word Crimes” bows at #39. As you probably know by now, Yankovic's Mandatory Fun this week becomes the first comedy album in more than 50 years to reach #1. 5 Seconds Of Summer’s first full-length album will take the #1 spot next week with first-week sales north of 250K. This is the sixth song from the 5 Seconds Of Summer album to crack the Hot 100; the fourth to reach the top 30. "Word Crimes" is Yankovic’s 11th Hot 100 single. The song is a very clever parody of Robin Thicke's #1 smash “Blurred Lines.” Yankovic scored his first Hot 100 hit, “Ricky,” in April 1983. That was also a parody of a #1 hit, in that case, Toni Basil's “Mickey.” Yankovic has cracked the Hot 100 with parodies of four other #1 hits: Michael Jackson's “Beat It” and “Bad,” Madonna's “Like A Virgin” and Coolio's “Gangsta's Paradise.” The top three spots on this week’s Hot 100 are all by lead artists riding their first chart hits. MAGIC!'s “Rude” holds at #1 for the second week, Iggy Azalea's “Fancy” (featuring Charli XCX) holds at #2 for the second week following a seven-week run on top, and Sam Smith's “Stay With Me” jumps from #5 to #3. This marks the first time that new artists have locked up the top three spots since April 2012. I covered this, and the rest of the top 10 action, in a blog we posted earlier today. If you missed it, here's a link. Enrique Iglesias lands his eighth top 20 hit as “Bailando” jumps from #23 to #17 in its 12th week. The song features Descemer Bueno & Gente de Zona. This is already Iglesias’s highest-charting hit since “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)” (featuring Ludacris & DJ Frank E) reached #4 in February 2011. Florida Georgia Line's “Dirt” drops from #11 to #20 in its second week. The song holds at #1 on Hot Country Songs for the second week. (It has a long way to go to catch “Cruise,” which logged 24 weeks at #1.) "Clean Bandit" by Rather Be featuring Jess Glynne leaps from #32 to #22 in its sixth week. The song spent four weeks at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart in February. Another former U.K. #1, Kiesza's “Hideaway,” debuts at #97. “Hideaway” spent one week on top in April. Kiesza is a 25-year old Canadian hit-maker. Demi Lovato lands her sixth top 30 hit as “Really Don’t Care” (featuring Cher Lloyd) jumps from #38 to #30 in is seventh week. It’s her best showing since “Heart Attack” reached #10 last year. Iggy Azalea has three songs that are bulleting up the chart this week. “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora) leaps from #65 to #45 in its third week. T.I.'s “No Mediocre,” on which she is featured, jumps from #67 to #59 in its fifth week. Her own “Work” jumps from #75 to #70 in its 12th week. (In addition, of course, Azalea has two songs that have taken up permanent residency in the top five: “Fancy” and Ariana Grande's “Problem,” on which she is featured.) Luke Bryan's “Roller Coaster” is the week's third-highest new entry at #88. It's vying to become the fifth top 40 hit from Crash My Party. (The album topped the 2 million mark in sales last week.) Ohio Players had a #1 hit in January 1976 titled “Love Rollercoaster.” "Lifestyle" by Rich Gang featuring Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan is the week’s fourth-highest new entry at #89. It’s the first single from the group’s upcoming sophomore album.

Are fancy and problem even going to pass 5M in sales? Problem hasn't passed 3M yet and 7 weeks at the top and Fancy is now just scraping by 3M.

I think Problem might do that. But 5M is really huge these days when single sales are down 20% from previous year.
Which song do you think has been the most surprising hit this year? I'd say Bailando. Absolutely shocking to see it in top 20. Nice though..

Interesting to see another non-English-language hit on the Hot 100...Gangnam Style episode 2?
From the snippet I've heard it sounds pretty cool...

I'm definitely on board with seeing more non-English songs do well on the Hot 100...but the "English Version" of "Bailando" is doing much better than the "Spanish Version" sales-wise (No. 45 VS No. 102 on iTunes)...and I would imagine on airplay as well? not sure if there's a way of knowing that for sure, though. |

Well formats like Spanish, Latin Urban, and Tropical Latin definitely favor the Spanish version but those formats obviously aren't clearly as dominant as Pop, HAC or Rhythmic...but that gives the song a huge radio advantage as it can appeal to so many audiences and is suitable for major success in virtually every radio format (except maybe Urban/Urban AC)! |
