Pump Up the Volume is one of my all-time favorites!

I could have swore Whitney had three singles in the top 10 at one time in 1993. Did she just miss out on that?

Yep by one week.

Two weeks, actually...IWALY slipped to number eleven the following week as "I Have Nothing" stepped up two to number 9. Bon Jovi's "Bed Of Roses" held for its 3rd of 6 straight weeks at number ten, spoiling Whitney's chances two weeks in a row!

Billboard.com:

As for the song "Skyfall," after a full week of impact post-Oscars, the song charges 32-10 on the Digital Songs chart, selling 105,000 downloads in the week ending March 3 (up 88%). The title song of the James Bond film logs its best sales week since the tally dated Dec. 1, 2012 (120,000) -- reflecting the first full week "Skyfall" was in U.S. theaters.

At No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" (featuring Wanz), ruling for an eighth consecutive week (326,000; down 10%).

Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" skips 3-2 with 231,000 (up 1%) while Baauer's "Harlem Shake" cools down, moving 2-3 with 228,000 (down 23%).

Demi Lovato scores her best sales week yet for a song download, as her new "Heart Attack" debuts at No. 4 with 215,000. Her previous best frame was earned when "Skyscraper" bowed with 176,000 downloads at No. 2 (July 30, 2011).

Rihanna's "Stay" (featuring Mikky Ekko) falls 4-5 with 211,000 (down 1%) and Drake's "Started From the Bottom" moves 5-6 with 142,000 (down 6%). Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" (featuring Jay-Z) holds at No. 7 (141,000; up 5%) and will.i.am & Britney Spears' "Scream & Shout" falls 6-8 (122,000; down 12%). Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" is stationary at No. 9 with 121,000 (down 9%).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 26.12 million downloads, down 3% compared with last week (26.89 million) and down 4% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (27.12 million). Year to date track sales are at 253.38 million, down 2% compared to the same total at this point last year (258.04 million).

If "HS" Youtube views drops to 20 million then "Thrift Shop" may have a shot at reclaiming #1. Personally I cannot see that happening, but I have never really paid much attention to Youtube viewing patterns so I don't know whether viral videos burnout quickly.

[Rocky]

It went down for sure, but if it has like 60 million views it'll still be #1. :((

Oh it's definitely going to be #1 again, but last week it fell from like 103 million streams to 98 million. I'm hoping it sees a further decrease, plus the sales drop could mean this will be pretty short lived, relatively speaking at least.

For more Last Look, watch GPS, Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN.

In America, "Harlem Shake" may be the top pop single. In Egypt and Tunisia, there's some serious Harlem shaking going on. And it's causing leaders to tremble as it becomes a potent symbol of protest, revolt and defiance. Take the kids in the video at a school in Tunisia. They danced en masse to the song and posted their exploits on YouTube. That prompted a quarter of a million hits and reports of an investigation by the country's minister of education and that prompted a backlash. Video after video after video of Tunisians proudly doing the Harlem shake in defiance.

And then there's Egypt, where the authorities went further and the backlash was worse. Four pharmaceutical students were arrested for doing this Harlem shake in front of the pyramids, and that set off a big reaction. Late in the week in Cairo, there was a mass shake in front of the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters to protest.

Now, who says America's popular culture exports have no value?

Baauer Still Atop Hot 100, Although Lead Lessens[/u]

Baauer tops the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week with "Harlem Shake," although the Brooklyn producer's viral smash experiences a hefty decline in YouTube streaming figures. The chart's No. 2 song, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, meanwhile, makes digital sales history with its latest weekly download total.

"Shake" entered the Hot 100 at No. 1 two weeks ago, concurrent with the addition of U.S. YouTube video streaming data to the chart. YouTube streaming data is now factored into the Hot 100 (and other genre charts), enhancing a mix of data that includes digital download track sales (and physical singles sales), as tracked by Nielsen SoundScan, as well as terrestrial radio airplay, on-demand audio streaming, and online radio streaming, as tracked by Nielsen BDS.

"Shake" has risen to pop culture prominence thanks to the song's (and dance's) hugely popular meme (in which a person dances to the song alone for 15 seconds before others join in for the clip's second half). Even Fox's "The Simpsons" ribbed the craze in its opening couch gag on Sunday's (March 3) episode (redubbing it the "Homer Shake"). Online momentum appears to have crested, however, as "Shake" holds at No. 1 on the BDS-based Streaming Songs chart, but with a 45% decrease to 54 million streams (down from 98 million last week). Sales also slide by 23% to 228,000, as "Shake" drops 2-3 on the Hot Digital Songs chart.

Still, "Shake" is gaining in on-demand streaming and radio airplay. It rises 17-15 on the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs with 820,000 streams (up 2%) and enters the Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic radio airplay charts at Nos. 38 and 40. Its total audience swells by 33%, but, at 7.9 million, it does not yet appear on the 75-position-deep all-format Hot 100 Airplay chart.

As "Shake" again rules the Hot 100 (and the Dance/Electronic Songs chart), Macklemore & Lewis' "Shop" remains at No. 2 following a four-week reign and sets a noteworthy sales mark. "Shop" tops Hot Digital Songs for an eighth week and, with 326,000 in digital sales (down 10%), becomes the first song to log eight weeks of 300,000 or more downloads sold since SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003. It bests fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae), which racked seven such sales frames last year. With its latest frame, "Shop" passes 4 million in digital sales to date (4.2 million).

"Shop" sets another record: it leads On-Demand Songs for a ninth week, topping the eight-week No. 1 run of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra, for the longest command since the chart launched a year ago this month. It crowns the list with 2 million on-demand streams (down 3%). "Shop" holds at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (9.7 million, up 2%) and spends a second week at No. 2 on Hot 100 Airplay (117 million, up 2%). It leads Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for an eighth week.

After "Shake" outpaced "Shop" with slightly more than three-and-a-half times the Hot 100 points total of the latter the past two weeks, "Shake" drops by 43% in overall points and "Shop" falls by just 4% this week. "Shop," thus," boasts a thinner, although still wide, lead of more than twice as many points as "Shop" this week.

Bruno Mars "When I Was Your Man" holds at No. 3 and claims the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a third consecutive week. The piano ballad, from Unorthodox Jukebox, the Billboard 200's new No. 1 album (and Mars' first), jumps 11-9 on Hot 100 Airplay (82 million, up 18%), marking his 10th consecutive career-opening top 10 on the tally. Only Mariah Carey (12) and T-Pain (11) have begun with longer top 10 streaks dating to the list's 1990 launch. "Man" lifts 3-2 on Hot Digital Songs (231,000, up 1%) and 11-8 on Streaming Songs (3.5 million, up 12%).

Taylor Swift's No. 2-peaking "I Knew You Were Trouble." keeps at No. 4 on the Hot 100. It rules Hot 100 Airplay for a fourth week (126 million, down 4%).

Rihanna's "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, rebounds 7-5 on the Hot 100 after reaching a peak to date of No. 3 two weeks ago following her performance of the song at the Grammy Awards (Feb. 10). The ballad charges 36-23 on Hot 100 Airplay (46 million, up 37%), offsetting minor slips in sales (4-5 on Hot Digital Songs; 211,000, down 1%) and streaming (9-10 on Streaming Songs; 3.3 million, down less than 1%).

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Drake's "Started From the Bottom" holds at No. 6; will.i.am and Britney Spears' No. 3-peaking "Scream & Shout" descends 5-7; Justin Timberlake's No. 4 hit "Suit & Tie," featuring Jay-Z, is static at No. 8 (and passes 1 million in sales to date); Mars' former six-week No. 1 "Locked Out of Heaven" stays at No. 9; and Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child," featuring John Martin, returns to the top 10 (12-10) after rising to No. 6 last month.

Check Billboardbiz tomorrow (March 7), when all rankings, including the Hot 100, Hot 100 Airplay, Hot Digital Songs and On-Demand Songs, will be refreshed, as they are each Thursday.

Harlem Shake is plummeting! Who saw this?

[josh]

Yes, thank the lord.

[RadioBeatz]

Thank God that horrid, vomitive song by Lil' Wayne is out of the top 10, now gtfo Drake!

I don't think I've hated so much two top 10 hits in a while (oh, I forgot about horrendous F**kin' Problems)

[Quixotic Music Lover]

According to my estimates:

"Harlem Shake" = 157,103 points;
"Thrift Shop" = 76,517.

"When I Was Your Man" is way behind at #3 with around 42,183 points (I am guessing on how much of the total streaming is on-demand).

The bigger news to me is the continued sales success of "Thrift Shop". It has already broken the record for most weeks with more than 300,000 sales (8). It now has three more records on the horizon. Most weeks at #1 on the Digital Songs chart (currently 13 held by "Low"), most digital sales in a calendar year ("Somebody I Used To Know" holds this one) and total digital sales ("I Gotta Feeling"). I think it has a pretty good chance at the last two, but # of weeks at #1 is going to be tough.

[Spidey]

Hopefully, "Harlem Shake" continues to plummet at this fast rate.

[kingofpain]

I still don't understand how that garbage Lil Wayne song was in the top 10 last week when it was neither top 10 in sales OR airplay.

Because a song doesn't have to be Top 10 in either to make it into the Top 10 on the Hot 100.

[josh]

It was #4 streaming. Also #14 digital, but only #35 radio.

[kingofpain]

Exactly! With those figures combined, how the hell did it make it #10 on just streaming alone??? Wasn't Swedish House mafia way higher on airplay and about even with sales and streaming?

Let's not forget about 'Crank That' which was number one for seven nonconsecutive weeks and produced a plethora of youtube videos including Dora the Explorer, Spiderman, and Spongebob. That song would have been a lot bigger if youtube views counted then.

Hm? Do we already know where it debuted?

[jebsib]

The original BB article said it debuted at #12.

[Deleted]

Yay for the big plummet in YouTube streams

[Deleted]

I wonder if "Harlem Shake" will even manage a fourth week at #1 now?

That's the thing with fads; they start strong, but can end just as quickly.

[hitseeker.]

I can see HS getting 1, maybe 2 more weeks at #1. After that, we'll see. I expect the streams figures to continue decreasing and that's the main element keeping the song at the top.
