Billboard Hot 100: 06/15/2013

[renfield75]

I think #Beautiful is her best single in a very long time, I really hope it can make the top ten of the Hot 100. And as a chart watcher since 1990, I do enjoy seeing her still continue to get hits.

What?! It's not a credited sample?
When I hear "Blurred Lines", I immediately want to turn on Aaliyah's version of "Got To Give It Up".

I thought it is credited since everybody's talking about it? It was mentioned in several UK chart analyses. He is famous for using Gaye though, I've read BL is his fourth song to sample Gaye's music.

[crystalphnx]

compared to some other CC deal songs, "#Beautiful" has been doing better for a while now. looking at their Hot 100 Airplay chart runs:

"You Da One" = *28* – 54 – 42 – 33 – 33 – 35 – 29 – 33 – 31 – *28* – 32 – 39 – 52 – 75 – OUT

"Give Me All Your Luvin'" = *28* – 59 – 63 – OUT

"#Beautiful" = 44 – 44 – 28 – 22 - ?

I believe that "#Beautiful" was the only one of those three songs to debut on Hot 100 Airplay after just one day of airplay (due to its CC deal being on a Monday), but the fact that it held steady and then just kept climbing since its debut already sets it apart from those other CC-deal songs.

Wouldn't that give it 2 days of airplay though? Not that it really matters but still.

ah, you're probably right, good catch! I just mentioned that since it explains why "#Beautiful" didn't debut as high as YDO or GMAYL (which both had more than one or two days of airplay when they debuted on Hot 100 Airplay, I believe).

And ten years ago saw Beyonce's maiden solo voyage in the top ten!*

*I know "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" had already been in the top ten, but that was a featured credit on Jay-Z's song. "Crazy In Love" launched her solo career. You know what I'm saying, nitpickers.

[Glove Slap]

If you were to say on this day 5 years ago that by 2013 Leona Lewis would have essentially faded away while Katy Perry would be one of the most consistent hitmakers of our time, you'd probably have been a laughing stock. Funny how things happen.

It'd be fun to go back in time five years and just lay down the truth.

1 1 Lollipop - Lil Wayne ft. Static Major (4th week of 5 @ #1)
Lil Wayne will continue to have hits, though none as big as this one. Keep an eye on him, though, he might od in 5-10 years.

2 2 Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
Every single she releases in the US from here on out will be less and less of a success.

3 10 Viva La Vida - Coldplay
No more big hits from this album. Sorry, mainstream Coldplay fans. They do sort of got two hits coming up in a few years, though. One will even feature Rihanna!

4 4 Take A Bow - Rihanna
Speaking of Rihanna, here she is! Oh, wait, she isn't nearly as big now as she is in my time. So the Coldplay/Rihanna thing is even MORE shocking to you! LOL. She will continue to have a string of hits, get beaten by and continue to date Chris Brown, will become a sex goddess, and will releases an album once a year on Black Friday week starting in 2009! The 2009 album will only have one huge hit on it, but after that, here will come the hit after hit. And you thought "Umbrella" was big? LOL, just wait.

5 21 I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
I know a lot of you are already SCREECHING "One-hit-wonder"!!! But, she won't be. In fact, she'll tie Michael Jackson's record of most number ones from a single album with her next release. Prepare yourselves for Katy Perry domination.

6 6 Love In This Club - Usher ft. Young Jeezy
Oh, yeah, the return of Usher was in this time. I'm sorry, Urshr fans, but hard times are coming. Flops Urban AC hits are coming. Lots of them. But don't fret, b/c will.i.am will come to save the day and Usher will be back to having hits again.

7 5 No Air - Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown
Sorry, Jordin fans, but the time to speculate single #3 and #4 is over. "One Step at a Time" will be third and the era will end. Why? Well, we still don't know. Her second era will produce a nice-sized hit with its lead single but she fades into obscurity after that. Shame, really. At least she stars in a movie with Whitney Houston later on. Oh, and the movie will be released shortly after Whitney's death. Oh, yeah, Whitney dies.

8 7 Sexy Can I - Ray J ft. Yung Berg
lol

9 3 The Time Of My Life - David Cook
This will become a surprise hit, but don't count on Cook for many of them. His lead single will do well, but then afterwards... Oh, Archuleta will tie Kelly Clarkson's record for highest peaking non-coronation Idol single. That is, until Clarkson gets a #1 and breaks a whole different record later this year. Watch out! ;)

10 8 4 Minutes - Madonna & Justin Timberlake
lol - Some good news, though, she will do the Super Bowl half time show in a few years. Too bad two chicks you've never heard of (yet) are going to be singing with her. One is a one-hit-wonder and the other might be clinically insane. We're not sure still yet. She might have MPD. But, hey, she'll make for a good parody show on YouTube someday.

And that's not even the best part, guys! In a few years, a slightly overweight British girl with an amazing voice will SLAY YOUR FAVES. I mean SLAY! We're talking diamond albums, awards upon awards upon awards, and long-standing #1s on the Hot 100. Prepare yourselves.

[chartfreak]

That was cute! :)

Billboard.com:

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, jumps 3-1 with 229,000 downloads sold (up 20%). It's the first No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart for Thicke, while T.I. clocks his fourth leader, and Pharrell nets his second.

Leaping 19-2 is 2 Chainz's "We Own It (Fast & Furious)," featuring Wiz Khalifa, with 208,000 (up 138%). It's the best sales week yet for 2 Chainz. The song is from the "Fast & Furious 6" soundtrack and film, which clocked a second weekend atop the U.S. and Canada box office chart this past weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. Through June 3, the film has raked in $174 million, making it the fifth-highest grossing movie of the year.

Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" slips 2-3 on Digital Songs with 196,000 (down 1%), Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" (featuring Pharrell Williams) rises 5-4 with 190,000 (up 5%) and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" (featuring Ray Dalton) slides 1-5 with 184,000 (down 13%).

Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" climbs 8-6 (159,000; up 7%), Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It" dips 6-7 (158,000; down 8%) and P!nk's "Just Give Me a Reason" (featuring Nate Ruess) descends 4-8 (150,000; down 19%).

Blake Shelton's "Boys 'Round Here" (featuring Pistol Annies and Friends) rises 11-9 (147,000; up 36%) while Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" closes out the top 10, sliding 9-10 with 131,000 (down 7%).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 24.24 million downloads, down 1% compared with last week (24.49 million) and down 5% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (25.58 million). Year to date track sales are at 579.91 million, down 3% compared to the same total at this point last year (596.86 million).

[Linnethia Monique]

Robin Thicke with that SMASH! Everybody Get Up!

[Au$tin]

"Blurred Lines" should be top ten this week finally.

[Enigma.]

Great for B. Shelton, his biggest hit to date.

[renfield75]

That was fun Au$tin, wonder what we'll be thinking about today's artists in 2018? (This is totally just for fun, don't get too upset!)

1.Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, "Can't Hold Us"
They're still incredibly respected, but after that overly-artsy concept album in 2015 they would probably trade some respect for a hit!

2.P!nk ft. Nate Ruess, "Just Give Me A Reason"
The hits slowed down for Pink but never stopped. Also, remember Nate Ruess? No?

3.Justin Timberlake, "Mirrors"
Once the divorce is finalized he SWEARS the 20/20 Experience part 2 is coming out!

4.Daft Punk, "Get Lucky"
Ahh, disco revival, it was a fun but brief fling. The robots promise the follow-up to Random Access Memories is almost ready!

5.Florida Georgia Line, "Cruise"
Even country radio won't touch these guys anymore...

6.Selena Gomez, "Come & Get It"
The start of her top ten streak. After Bieber's hearing she can get on with the next era. (KIDDING!!!!)

7.Icona Pop, "I Love It"
Remember when we thought they would be one-hit wonders? Oh yeah, we were right. And what ever happened to Lena Dunham?

8.Rihanna, "Stay"
It's been three years Rih, that 18th number one has to happen soon!!! "The Emancipation of RihRih"????

9.Imagine Dragons, "Radioactive"
Sophomore jinx. Womp womp.

10.Bruno Mars, "When I Was Your Man"
The continued string of hits was expected, the Oscar nomination was not.

11.Robin Thicke, "Blurred Lines"
Who would have thought, after a decade in the biz, that Robin Thicke would become the top male pop artist in the industry!?!?!?!? He owes this song a lot...

Thicke and Co. will be snatching many wigs in the coming days, it looks.

[Duca]

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Still Atop Hot 100, Robin Thicke Reaches Top 10
The duo maintains its command for a fifth week with 'Can't Hold Us,' while 'Blurred Lines' soars upward.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis notch a fifth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Can't Hold Us," featuring Ray Dalton. Robin Thicke, meanwhile, lands his first Hot 100 top 10, as "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, roars 11-6, fueled in part by a 3-1 rise on Digital Songs.

"Can't Hold Us" remains atop the Hot 100 despite not currently leading any of the list's three main component charts (a feat last managed by Pink's "Just Give Me a Reason," featuring Nate Ruess, five weeks ago). "Hold" falls 1-5 after five weeks in charge of Digital Songs, decreasing by 13% to 184,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and 2-3 on Streaming Songs, drawing 5 million U.S. streams in the tracking week (down 11%), according to Nielsen BDS. The cut's airplay continues to grow, however, as "Hold" pushes 3-2 on Radio Songs with 131 million all-format audience impressions (up 3%), according to BDS.

With the pair's prior establishing hit "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz (now at No. 14), having reached the top 10 on the Hot 100 dated Jan. 5 (before it reigned for six weeks), Macklemore and Lewis this week become the only act to place at least one title in the chart's top 10 each week this year (24 weeks in all in that span). The rapper and producer had shared the feat with Bruno Mars, who'd achieved the distinction with "Locked Out of Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man." (All four songs spent time atop the Hot 100). "Man," however, falls out of the top tier this week (10-11).

"Hold" racks a seventh week at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Rap Songs charts.

After four weeks of no movement in the Hot 100's top three, Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" contributes to a slight shake-up, lifting 3-2. Passing the No. 3 peak of his previous single "Suit & Tie," featuring Jay-Z, Timberlake tallies his highest rank since "Dead and Gone," on which he assisted T.I., peaked at No. 2 in early 2009. He last placed higher as a guest, with Nelly Furtado, on Timbaland's two-week No. 1 "Give It to Me" in April 2007. A month earlier, he'd crowned the chart with his own "What Goes Around…Comes Around."

"Mirrors" tops Radio Songs for a third week (up 2% to 154 million, his best weekly audience for any of his singles), while dropping 9-10 on Digital Songs (131,000, down 7%) and 10-12 on Streaming Songs (3.2 million, down 9%).

"Hold" keeps "Mirrors" from the Hot 100's top spot despite a 7% downturn in overall chart points; "Mirrors" decreases by 3%.

As Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" notches a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the set's lead single, "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams, rises 4-3 with top Streaming Gainer kudos for a third straight week. The track scores a second week at No. 1 on the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (2.2 million, up 2%) and jumps 3-2 on Streaming Songs (5.6 million, up 9%), 5-4 on Digital Songs (190,000, up 5%) and 12-8 on Radio Songs (64 million, up 22%), marking the duo's first Radio Songs top 10. "Get Lucky" registers a third week at No. 1 on Dance/Electronic Songs and a second on top of Dance/Club Play Songs (3-1), where it's the first title to claim multiple weeks at the summit since Rihanna's "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris (Nov. 19-26, 2011). ("Found" topped the Hot 100 for 10 weeks, Rihanna's longest command on the chart.)

P!nk's previously noted former three-week No. 1 "Reason" descends 2-4 on the Hot 100, while Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise," featuring Nelly, stays at its No. 5 peak in its 35th week. "Cruise" docks at No. 10 on Radio Songs (down from No. 9, although with an 11% gain to 62 million). It backtracks 2-3 on Digital Songs (196,000, down 1%) and climbs 16-14 on Streaming Songs (although with a 7% loss to 2.8 million). The track tops Hot Country Songs for a 14th week.

Thicke boasts the lone new entry in the Hot 100's top 10, as "Blurred Lines" blasts 11-6 with top Airplay Gainer honors. The sultry song surges 46-17 on Radio Songs with a 68% gain to 48 million. It concurrently becomes his first Digital Songs No. 1 (3-1) via a 20% increase to 229,000. On Streaming Songs, the cut climbs 33-25 (2.1 million, up 16%).

Thicke had previously peaked as high as No. 14 on the Hot 100 with his first entry, "Lost Without U," in 2007. "Blurred Lines" featured act Williams – also at No. 3 on Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" – adds his sixth Hot 100 top 10 (after collecting his first four in 2003-06), and his first set of concurrent top 10s, while T.I. tallies his 11th and first since the aforementioned "Dead and Gone" (2009).

"Blurred Lines" leads the R&B Songs chart for a third week.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It" retreats from its No. 6 peak to No. 7, although it climbs 10-9 on Radio Songs (64 million, up 18%); Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" rebounds 9-8, while ruling Hot Rock Songs for an 11th week; Icona Pop's "I Love It," featuring Charli XCX, regresses to No. 9 from its No. 7 highpoint, although it charges 6-5 on Radio Songs (89 million, up 5%); and, Rihanna's former No. 3 hit "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, falls 8-10; since debuting at No. 57 the week of Feb. 23, the ballad has spent its subsequent 16 weeks in the top 10.

Check Billboard.com tomorrow (June 6), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 in its entirety and Digital Songs, Radio Songs, Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs will be refreshed, as they are each Thursday.

Bye Bruno. :'( At least soon he'll have two top 10 songs, Treasure and Bubble Butt.

Looks like Daft Punk stands a great chance to pass Justin next week, but definitely not certain. Sucks for Selena that it's such a strong top 10. Although she's still got a long ways to potentially go on radio so I'm not too worried yet.

[SPRΞΞ]

so Bruno ends his weeks in the Top 10 streak. Katy's record lives on. ;)

congrats to Get Lucky for #3!
congrats to Mirrors for #2!

[rayjay96]

Austin - that should seriously be a weekly feature! Really enjoyed it

Keep in mind I was the ONLY one who voted for Katy. After I bumped it from years ago, people unfairly voted Katy. I'm pretty clairvoyant.

[Rocky]

It'll be funny if "Can't Hold US" fall faster in sales, and continue to decline in streaming and "Mirrors" get a week at #1. A discount would make it for sure, but he would get that this week, it's too late now.

[irice22]

Nahh, we need more #2's. Increases the value of a #1.

Surely not because of one negative update? Give #B some time. Song still has room to grow and isn't a month old yet. If we see more negative updates I'd be more inclined to agree but I don't think it's done just yet.

It also sold another 90,000 downloads this week. Sales have been pretty consistent for her which many always assumed she could no longer get. 400,000 sold in four weeks.

Robin Thicke lands his first top 10 hit as “Blurred Lines” jumps from #12 to #6 in its sixth week on the Hot 100. Thicke’s mother, Gloria Loring, cracked the top 10 in August 1986 with “Friends And Lovers,” a collabo with Carl Anderson, an African American singer and actor. (The elegant pop ballad peaked at #2.) “Friends And Lovers” took off due to exposure on the soap opera Days Of Our Lives, on which Loring was a regular from 1980 to 1986.
Several other current stars who have landed top 10 hits are the offspring of parents who also had one or more top 10 hits. Among them: Enrique Iglesias, son of Julio Iglesias; Miley Cyrus, daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus; and Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith.
It’s interesting that Loring’s biggest hit was an interracial duet, because Thicke’s entire persona and musical style is based on blurring racial lines, to borrow his current song title. And he has been very successful at it, too. While this is his first top 10 hit on the Hot 100, he has had four top 10 hits on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, including the #1 hits “Lost Without U” and “Sex Therapy.”
Thicke’s style used to be called “blue-eyed soul,” but that sound is no longer the semi-novelty that that term suggests. With Thicke joining Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, it may well be the hottest sound of the year.
Thicke’s current hit bears a striking similarity to Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up (Pt. I),” which cracked the Hot 100 in April 1977—five weeks after Thicke was born. (The sexy smash reached #1 in June.) A fan of Gaye’s hit noted the similarity in this comment on YouTube: “Robin Thicke jacked this beat and tweaked it. Those who tasted the old school knew. Not hatin’ though. I’m just glad he didn’t ruin it. LOL.”
“Blurred Lines” enters The Official U.K. Singles Chart at #1. It’s Thicke’s first #1 in the U.K. The song sold 190K copies in its first week on sale in the U.K., which is the largest one-week tally so far this year. “It is an honour and a pleasure to be #1 in the U.K.,” Thicke told OfficialCharts.com. “It’s something I’ve always dreamed of, and I am so grateful to all the people who made this dream come true.”
“Blurred Lines” features T.I. and Pharrell Williams. This is the 11th top 10 hit for T.I.; the sixth for Williams, who has two songs in this week’s top 10. Williams is also featured on Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” which jumps from #4 to #3. (The song is #1 on Dance/Electronic Songs for the third week.) Williams co-wrote “Get Lucky.” He produced and co-wrote “Blurred Lines.”
“Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton holds at #1 for the fifth week. The duo’s previous hit, “Thrift Shop,” logged six weeks at #1. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is the first act to top the Hot 100 for 11 or more weeks in a calendar year since Adele led the way for 12 weeks in 2010. Furthermore, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is the only act to appear in the 10 on the Hot 100 every week so far this year. Bruno Mars, of whom this was also true through last week, drops out this week.
“Can’t Hold Us” is #1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the seventh week.
Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” jumps from #3 to #2. This surpasses the #3 peak of “Suit & Tie” (featuring Jay-Z), the lead single from The 20/20 Experience. This is Timberlake’s highest-charting hit since T.I.’s “Dead And Gone,” on which he was featured, spent five weeks at #2 in early 2009. “Mirrors” is #1 on the all-format Radio Songs chart for the third week.
“Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly holds at #5 for the second week. The song spends its 14th week at #1 on Hot Country Songs. That’s the longest run at #1 since Buck Owens’ “Love’s Gonna Live Here” spent 16 weeks on top from October 1963 through February 1964. It’s the longest run at #1 by an ongoing duo since “Slipping Around” by Margaret Whiting & Jimmy Wakely logged 17 weeks on top in 1949-1950.

Selena Gomez’s “Come & Get It,” which dips from #6 to #7, tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s her first million-seller on her own, following three fronting The Scene: “Love You Like A Love Song” (2,457,000), “Naturally” (1,949,000) and “Who Says” (1,947,000).
