I'm starting to think that "Thrift Shop" will challenge "One Sweet Day" for the "longest-running #1 song" title (16 weeks). It' still pulling +300k weekly and has a lot room to grow airplay-wise.

Under the new rules "One More Night" was able to spend 9 weeks at the top, and this is certainly a lot bigger than that. What do you think?

God forbid! I am guessing "Thrift Shop" will ring up 10-12 weeks at #1, it really depends on the strength of the competition. "One Sweet Day" was a big hit in the winter time when the sale of physical sales was usually soft (January, February), so its' large lead at radio could keep it on top.

In the digital age, sales are much less predictable since a purchase is only one mouse click away.

[areyoureadytojump]

Billboard.com:

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" (featuring Wanz) is No. 1 for a fifth week, moving 389,000 (up 2%). At No. 2 is will.i.am & Britney Spears' "Scream & Shout" with 163,000 (down 5%).

A new entry at No. 3 is Fall Out Boy's new single "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up)" with 162,000 downloads sold. Fall Out Boy has been absent from the Digital Songs chart since 2009, when "America's Suitehearts" spent one week on the list at No. 71.

Bruno Mars' latest single "When I Was Your Your Man" rises 7-4 with 159,000 (up 52%) while Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" slips 3-5 (158,000; down 3%). The Lumineers' "Ho Hey" gains by 25% to 147,000 -- though it is pushed back a slot to No. 6.

Maroon 5's "Daylight" -- which was performed on the Grammy Awards -- climbs 10-7 with 121,000 (up 28%) as does Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" (up three to No. 8 with 120,000; up 33%). Like "Daylight," Timberlake's single was performed on the Grammys.

Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child" (featuring John Martin), falls 4-10 with 117,000 (down 4%) and Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" slips 8-10 with 109,000 -- though it's up by 5%).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 27.32 million downloads, up 6% compared with last week (25.80 million) and down 6% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (28.93 million). Year to date track sales are at 170.97 million, up less than 1% compared to the same total at this point last year (170.54 million).

[allow that]

Eminem all the way up there at #6 surprises me the most. Ok so "Love The Way You Lie" was huge and he's also had "Not Afraid" and "Crack A Bottle," but most of his catalog predates when digital sales kicked into high gear.

So because Rihanna is not a "good" digital single seller, we are supposed to disregard all her #1 singles, all her Top 10s, etc...

Rihanna has been the "it" girl for a while now.

Someone new will eventually come along...

It's gonna be pretty close. Airplay gap on BDS looks to be around 35 million, which equates to 56k sales. So if S&S can get 30-40k more streams than LOOH, then it can manage #2. But yeah, it is less likely as it was 120k behind last week.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' 'Thrift Shop' No. 1 On Hot 100 for Fourth Week[/u]

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis tally a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz. And, even though the chart's top six titles remain at their same ranks as last week, action abounds in the top 10, with Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars reaching the region, while Taylor Swift takes over atop the Radio Songs ranking.

"Thrift" maintains its Hot 100 command while logging a pair of notable sales feats. The track sold 389,000 downloads (up 2%) during the week ending Feb. 10, according to Nielsen SoundScan, marking the fifth consecutive week that it's sold at least 300,000. In the decade-plus that SoundScan has been tracking digital sales, "Thrift," which dominates Digital Songs for a fifth week, is just the fourth song to string together at least five weeks of sales of 300,000 or more. It joins Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna (five weeks, 2010), Gotye's newly-anointed Grammy Award winner for Record of the Year, "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra (six, 2012), and fun.'s "We Are Young (which won the Song of the Year trophy at the Grammys Sunday night) (seven, 2012).

With its latest sales frame, "Thrift" passes 3 million in sales since its release (3,099,000). Macklemore & Lewis' debut album, "The Heist," bullets at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold 336,000 copies in the U.S. to date.

"Thrift" bounds 7-4 on Radio Songs, increasing by 14% to 102 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. It leads the Rhythmic genre airplay chart for a second week, is the Greatest Gainer on Pop Songs (8-7, up 21%), bullets again at No. 15 on Alternative Songs and debuts at No. 46 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (3 million, up 33%).

"Thrift" stays atop Streaming Songs with 2.1 million streams (up 4%), according to BDS. It leads On-Demand Songs for a fifth week with 1.9 million on-demand streams (up 2%), again rewriting its own record for the most weekly on-demand streams dating to the inception of the chart last March. (On-Demand Songs includes data from subscription services Spotify, Rdio, Muve Music, Slacker, Rhapsody and Xbox Music.).

As it remains atop the Hot 100, "Thrift" crowns Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a fifth week and Rap Songs for a sixth frame.

Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" holds at No. 2 for a fourth week after spending six weeks atop the Hot 100. "Thrift" again widens its lead atop the Hot 100 over "Heaven," as approximately 27,000 overall chart points separate the titles (after the margin was about 22,000 points last week). "Thrift" gains by 5% in points, while "Locked" declines by 4%.

Approximately just 2,000 chart points separate the titles between Nos. 2 and 6 on the Hot 100, with Will.i.am and Britney Spears' "Scream & Shout" remaining at No. 3, and leading Dance/Electronic Songs for a fifth week. It climbs 8-6 on Radio Songs (95 million, up 13%) and holds at No. 2 on Digital Songs (163,000, down 5%) and No. 7 on Streaming Songs (1.08 million, down 5%).

The Lumineers' "Ho Hey" is static at No. 4 on the Hot 100 (while topping Hot Rock Songs for a 13th week) and Taylor Swift's No. 2-peaking "I Knew You Were Trouble" stays at No. 5. "Trouble," meanwhile, ascends to the Radio Songs summit (2-1) with a 2% increase to 133 million, dethroning Mars' "Heaven" after seven weeks on top. "Trouble" marks Swift's second Radio Songs No. 1, following "You Belong With Me" (two weeks, 2009).

Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child," featuring John Martin, remains at No. 6 on the Hot 100, led by a 4-3 push on Radio Songs (108 million, up 10%).

Maroon 5 scores its seventh Hot 100 top 10, as "Daylight" roars 14-7. The song concurrently becomes the band's seventh top 10 on Radio Songs, where it rises 12-9 (76 million, up 13%), while advancing 10-7 on Digital Songs (121,000, up 28%) and entering Streaming Songs at No. 45 (507,000, up 1%). Maroon 5 performed the song with Alicia Keys at the Grammy Awards on Sunday as a medley with her hit "Girl on Fire" (which holds at No. 12 on the Hot 100).

With previous singles "Payphone," featuring Wiz Khalifa, having reached No. 2 and "One More Night" leading for nine weeks, Maroon 5 has racked three Hot 100 top 10s from an album ("Overexposed") for the first time. It tallied two, the No. 5 hits "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved," from "Songs About Jane" in 2004.

Fellow Grammy Awards performer (and segment emcee) Justin Timberlake returns to the Hot 100's top 10 with "Suit & Tie," featuring Jay Z (13-8). After debuting at No. 84 four weeks ago, "Suit" rocketed to No. 4 following its first full week of sales, then retreated to No. 13 for two frames. The lead track from Timberlake's third album, "The 20/20 Experience" (due March 19), becomes his 11th top 10 on Radio Songs, where it surges 14-10 (65 million, up 3%) and first as a lead artist since "Until the End of Time," with Beyonce (No. 10), in October 2007. (Timberlake notched four Radio Songs top 10s in 2000-02 as a member of 'N Sync). "Suit" powers 11-8 on Digital Songs (120,000, up 33%) and 30-19 on Streaming Songs (664,000, up 7%).

Mars' "When I Was Your Man" flies 22-9 with top Streaming and Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100, becoming his 10th top 10. The piano ballad propels 49-18 on Streaming Songs (663,000, up 31%) and 51-30 on Radio Songs (40 million, up 46%). On Digital Songs, "Man" likewise makes a notable move, rising 7-4 (159,000, up 52%). With "Heaven" at No. 2, Mars is the first male artist to place two titles as a lead act in the Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously since his own "Grenade " and "Just the Way You Are" doubled up for eight consecutive weeks in December 2010/January 2011.

Justin Bieber's No. 5-peaking "Beauty and a Beat," featuring Nicki Minaj, rounds out the Hot 100's top 10, falling 7-10.

Check Billboard.com tomorrow (Feb. 14), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 and On-Demand Songs in their entirety and Digital Songs and Radio Songs, will be refreshed, as they are each Thursday.

So Thrift Shop's lead is 13 times bigger than the difference between 2 and 6. Wow!

Another week at #3 and down to #12 on iTunes.

[Quixotic Music Lover]

It looks like the Grammys had an immediate impact on this week's HOT100 top 10.
Here is my estimate of chart points based on Billboard's information.

Thrift Shop = 59,350
Scream & Shout = 32,800
I Knew You Were Trouble = 30,900
Daylight = 23,300
Suite & Tie = 22,700
When I Was Your Man = 22,600

[Agent Yoncé]

M5 & Bruno!!! :'( :'( :'( I thought 'WIWYM' was gonna break Bruno's streak, but I'm glad I was proven wrong. 4th straight Top 10 for M5 & 3rd from this album. I am sooo happy for them

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

At this rate Scream and Shout will be out of the Top 10 next week.

[Rocky]

I hope "Girl On Fire" will replace BAAB next week.

[HolidayGuy]

Just a note: There loads of acts who have released more albums than the top-selling acts, but have lower album-sales totals.

So, while number of releases will add to sales, it's certainly not an "excuse" as to why one act has a higher sales total than another. This goes for albums or singles/tracks.
