Billboard Hot 100 : 03/22/2014

[Linnethia Monique]

It will be a hit.

[Kris]

I personally don't like Happy so I wouldn't mind it being replaced by such a song.

[popstop]

^OMG, I will NOT have the flawlessness of Happy be done in by cheese like #SELFIE. At least let John Legend do the honors.

[imbondz]

My simple take on Let It Go is that the movie was so well done, a classic Disney movie, that people want the original song. Didn't matter who sang the pop version wasn't going to compete w the movie version.

Lol. I'm with you 100%. Whatever we can do to keep that from happening let me know. I'll help anyway I can. Haha

[jebsib]

Strange that if the iTunes model existed 20 years ago, Angela Landsbury might have had a huge hit with "Beauty & the Beast".

I heard it on Sirius the other day and, honestly, it sounds awful on the radio. Now I get why it's been shunned.

[HolidayGuy]

"Let it Go" has theatrical-like vocals, so no surprise that pop radio hasn't jumped on it.

Also Team is just 4.508M away from 200M, but Dark Horse is also not even -9M away from being out of there, and it's going to start decreasing soon...come on we need to get those three songs at 200M at the same time! :(

[icefire9]

Actually, Dark Horse is climbing on Urban now, which should give it more time above 200M AI.

A novelty hit

[Kris]

Following their performances at the Oscars on March 2, Williams' "Happy" leads the chart for a third week, while Menzel's "Let It Go" soars into the top 10

After their well-received live performances at the Academy Awards, broadcast on ABC on March 2, Pharrell Williams' "Happy" and Idina Menzel's "Let It Go," the latter of which won best original song honors, both shine on the Billboard Hot 100. The former leads the list for a third week, while the latter blasts into the top 10, vaulting 17-9.

As we do each Wednesday, let's run down the numbers behind all the winners in the Hot 100's top 10.

"Happy" maintains its Hot 100 command adding all three of the Hot 100's Gainer awards: Digital, Airplay and Streaming, marking just the second song to sweep the prizes since the Streaming Gainer nod began two years ago this week. The other triple-winner also featured Williams' vocals: Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring Williams and T.I., which claimed all three ribbons on the June 22 and Aug. 17, 2013, charts.

With sales comprising the majority (55%) of its chart points, as they did last week, "Happy" leads the Digital Songs chart for a fourth week with a 19% gain to 490,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. As previously reported, the sum is the biggest since Katy Perry's "Roar" debuted with 557,000 on the Aug. 31, 2013, tally. "Happy" posts the 13th-largest sales week ever for a digital song and the eighth-greatest for a non-debuting title.

Having sold 413,000 downloads in the previous tracking week and 402,000 in the week before that, "Happy" is also the first song to earn three straight weeks of more than 400,000 in sales since "Blurred Lines" did so in the three consecutive weeks last June. (The SoundScan tracking week for this week's Hot 100 began at midnight on Monday, March 3, after the Oscars telecast, so Williams' and Menzel's songs benefit from a full week of post-Awards buzz.)

"Happy" snares the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a seventh consecutive week, the best streak since "Lines" linked a record 10 weeks (in a row and total) last year. "Happy" crowns the Radio Songs chart for a second week with a 14% surge to 187 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.

On Streaming Songs, "Happy" climbs 3-2 with 8 million U.S. streams (up 20%), according to BDS. It concurrently takes over atop the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (2-1; 3.2 million U.S. streams, up 28%, according to BDS).

The cut spends a fifth week at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, while Williams additionally makes news on the Billboard 200, where his album "G I R L" debuts at No. 2 with 112,000 copies sold. ("Happy" is the lead single from "G I R L" after first being released on the "Despicable Me 2" soundtrack.)

Menzel likewise translates Oscars exposure (and, of course, the pop culture frenzy over John Travolta having flubbed her name when introducing her performance) into Hot 100 gains, as "Let It Go," from the "Frozen" soundtrack, bounds 17-9 to become her first Hot 100 top 10. "Go" jumps 5-4 on Digital Songs (185,000, up 42%), with sales accounting for two-thirds of the song's chart points. Still, it soars in streaming, too, charging 14-7 on Streaming Songs (4 million, up 25%).

Airplay makes up just 2% of the Hot 100 points for "Go," as the Broadway-inclined ballad pushes 20-18 on Adult Contemporary, the only airplay chart on which the song ranks. The last Hot 100 top 10 that charted on AC and no other airplay survey? Taylor Hicks' "Do I Make You Proud," which topped the Hot 100 and reached No. 14 on AC in 2006. Like Menzel via "Frozen" and the Oscars, Hicks similarly transformed visual-media exposure to chart success, as "Proud" benefited from Hicks winning the 2006 season of Fox's "American Idol." The last two Hot 100 top 10s whose only airplay chart history was on AC before Hicks were also "Idol" singers: 2003 champ Ruben Studdard and runner-up Clay Aiken managed the feat with "Flying Without Wings" (No. 2 Hot 100; No. 27 AC) and "This Is the Night" (No. 1 Hot 100; No. 13 AC), respectively.

While Menzel is new to the Hot 100's top 10, she first gained widespread acclaim in the Broadway musical "Rent" and won a Tony Award in 2004 for her portrayal of Elphaba in the Broadway smash "Wicked." Just last week (March 5), she began starring in the new Broadway musical "If/Then." She's also starred on Fox's "Glee" (as the mother of Lea Michele's Rachel) and is the voice of snow queen Elsa in "Frozen." Menzel's Billboard chart history dates to 2005, with, notably, her version of "Wicked" signature song "Defying Gravity" having become a No. 5 hit on Dance Club Songs in 2007.

After it led the Hot 100 for four weeks until two weeks ago, Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" spends a third week at No. 2. The track tops Streaming Songs for a fourth week, although with a 20% drop to 8.9 million streams. It slips 1-2 after eight weeks atop On-Demand Songs (2.7 million, down 6%). On Digital Songs, which it led for five weeks, "Horse" retreats 3-5 (182,000, down 14%). It holds at No. 2 on Radio Songs (153 million, up 1%), which it dominated for two weeks earlier this month.

With "Happy" up by 14% in overall Hot 100 points and "Horse" down by 12%, the former boasts a strongly widening 60% points lead.

Aside from Williams, Menzel and Perry in the Hot 100's upper ranks, John Legend's first Hot 100 top 10, "All of Me," rises 4-3. The piano ballad pushes 4-2 on Digital Songs (210,000, up 6%), 6-4 on Streaming Songs (5.7 million, up 9%) and 8-6 on Radio Songs (107 million, up 22%).

Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz, dips 3-4 on the Hot 100 after four weeks at its No. 3 highpoint. It rises to a new peak (9-8) on Radio Songs (93 million, up 7%). Bastille's "Pompeii" holds at No. 5 (and rules Hot Rock Songs for a fourth week), climbing 5-4 on Radio Songs (122 million, up 11%).

In the top 10's second half (aside from Menzel's ascent), Lorde's "Team" holds at its No. 6 peak; Beyonce's No. 2-peaking "Drunk in Love, featuring Jay Z, stays at No. 7; OneRepublic's No. 2 hit "Counting Stars" keeps at No. 8; and, Pitbull's former three-week No. 1 "Timber," featuring Ke$ha, is likewise a non-mover at No. 10.

Visit Billboard.com tomorrow (March 13), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 in its entirety and Digital Songs, Radio Songs, Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs, will refresh, as they do each Thursday. The latest charts will also appear in the next issue of Billboard magazine (on sale on Friday, March 14).

mixed up 5 and 6 as well as 8 and 9 otherwise I would've gotten them perfect :( I had a feeling Team wouldn't get to top 5 this week and that Counting Stars would be higher than Let It Go...guess I should trust my instincts next time...

[HolidayGuy]

Yay for "Let it Go." Smash.

Lol,true. It's always hard to get all 10 right. I think I may have done it once before of about 20-30 times, lol.

I think CS will stay in top 10 for at least one more week...

Let It Go," from the "Frozen" soundtrack, bounds 17-9 to become her first Hot 100 top 10.

Awful even next to "Demons" or "Wrecking Ball"?

That I-V-vi-IV progression usually makes a surefire pop hit.

But it's done in a theatrical style. I can't even recall the last time a song like that was a hit on radio.

[Kris]

Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" jumps from #17 to #9 in the wake of winning an Oscar for Original Song. The song appeared to be peaking at #18 prior to its Oscar win. "Let It Go" is just the second song in Oscar history that cracked the top 10 for the first time only after winning an Oscar. The first was "The Morning After" from the disaster movie "The Poseidon Adventure." The ballad hadn't even "bubbled under" the Hot 100 at the time it won the Oscar on March 27, 1973. But the award turned it into a smash. Maureen McGovern's recording reached #1 on August 4.

Pharrell Williams's "Happy," which was also nominated for Original Song, tops the Hot 100 for the third straight week. This marks the first time that recordings of two Original Song finalists appeared in the top 10 at the same time since February and March 1998, when Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" (from "Titanic") and LeAnn Rimes's "How Do I Live" (from "Con Air") were in the top 10 together for three straight weeks.

"Let It Go" has now climbed higher than any solo hit by John Travolta, which seems like fitting payback for Travolta having mangled Menzel's name at the Oscars. Travolta's biggest solo hit, the wispy ballad "Let Her In," reached #10 in July 1976.

"Let It Go" jumps to #4 on Hot Digital Songs (185K), which is its highest ranking to date. This is its seventh week in the top 10 on that chart. But the Broadway-style ballad hasn't had much impact at radio. Billboard's Gary Trust reports that airplay accounts for just 2% of its total Hot 100 points. The only airplay chart on which the song is listed on is Adult Contemporary, where it jumps to #18 this week. Trust notes that it's been eight years since a top 10 song on the Hot 100 has charted on AC and no other airplay survey. The last song to do this? Taylor Hicks's "Do I Make You Proud" in 2006.

Menzel won a Tony as Actress (Musical) in 2004 for "Wicked." Menzel is the first person who has won a Tony for a performance in a Broadway musical to land a top 10 hit on the pop chart since Harry Belafonte scored in 1957 with the classic "Banana Boat (Day-O)." Belafonte won Actor (Featured Role—Musical) in 1954 for "John Murray Anderson's Almanac."

Just two other actors who won Tonys for performances in musicals have had top 10 hits, dating back to the inception of Billboard's weekly pop chart in 1940. They are Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza, who each won Tonys in 1950 for their lead roles in Rodgers & Hammerstein's "South Pacific." Martin had two top 10 hits from 1944 to 1950. Pinza hit the top 10 in 1949 with "Some Enchanted Evening," the stand-out song from "South Pacific." Martin went on to win two more Tonys as Actress (Musical), for "Peter Pan" in 1955 and "The Sound Of Music" in 1960.

In addition, four actors who won Tonys for performances in musicals have reached the top 10 on the R&B chart (now called Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs). They are Jennifer Holliday, Ruth Brown, Gregory Hines and Melba Moore.

You can now watch the Tonys on June 8 confident that you are up to speed!

As noted above, Pharrell Williams's "Happy" holds at #1 for the third straight week. The song sold 490K digital copies this week. This marks the 13th consecutive week that the song has sold more copies than it did the week before. This is the third consecutive week that the song has sold more than 400K copies. It's only the third song in digital history to top 400K three times. It follows "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra and "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. + Pharrell (which did it four times). Both of those songs wound up as the best-sellers of their respective years. Will "Happy" follow suit? Stay tuned.

By logging its third week at #1, "Happy" is now tied with the Turtles's 1967 classic "Happy Together" as the longest-running #1 hit in Hot 100 history with the word "happy" in its title. Both songs are in great company. Just writing out the titles makes me happy.

"Happy" also holds at #1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the fifth week.

Bastille's "Pompeii" holds at #5 for the second week. The song tops the 2 million mark in digital sales this week. It's #1 on Rock Songs for the fourth straight week.

Here's a recap of this week's top 10 songs.

The Top Five: Pharrell Williams's "Happy" holds at #1 for the third week in its 10th week on the chart. This is its sixth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (490K) … "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J holds at #2 for the third week its 25th week on the chart. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #5 (182K) … John Legend's "All Of Me" inches up from #4 to #3 in its 22nd week on the chart. This is its third week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #2 (210K) … "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo featuring 2 Chainz dips from #3 to #4 in its 12th week on the chart. This is its seventh week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #3 (195K) … Bastille's "Pompeii" holds at #5 for the second week in its 30th week on the chart. This is its seventh week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #6 (117K).

The Second Five: Lorde's "Team" holds at #6 for the second week in its 24th week on the chart. This is its eighth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #9 (90K) …. "Drunk In Love" by Beyonce featuring Jay Z holds at #7 for the second week in its 12th week on the chart. This is its sixth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #12 (83K) … OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" holds at #8 for the second week in its 38th week on the chart. This is its 20th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #18 (67K) …. Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" jumps from #17 to #9 in its 15th week on the chart. It's her first top 10 hit. Digital sales rank: #4 (185K) … "Timber" by Pitbull featuring Ke$ha holds at #10 for the second week in its 22nd week on the chart. This is its 17th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #14 (77K).

"Say Something" by A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera ends a 14-week run in the top 10.

Coldplay's "Magic" is expected to be the top new entry on this week's Hot 100. The song enters Hot Digital Songs at #7 (114K). It's the first single from the band's sixth studio album, "Ghost Stories," which is due May 19. Coldplay has had six top 20 singles. Three of them were from the band's 2011 album, "Mylo Xyloto." "Magic" is vying to become the fifth different song with this title to crack the top 20. Pilot took their "Magic" to #5 in July 1975. Olivia Newton-John took hers to #1 in August 1980. The Cars took theirs to #12 in July 1984. B.o.B featuring Rivers Cuomo took theirs to #10 in September 2010.

Two other songs that are already in the top 10 on Hot Digital Songs are expected to make upward moves on the Hot 100. Aloe Blacc's "The Man," which held at #13 on last week's Hot 100, should move up. Digital sales rank: #8 (108K). The Chainsmokers's "#Selfie," which was the top new entry on last week's Hot 100 at #55, should move up strongly. (Digital sales rank: #10, 88K).

Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. The song peaked at #14 on the Hot 100. For Perry, that's practically a dud.

Zendaya's "Replay" tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. The song peaked at #40 on the Hot 100.

Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" tops the 4 million mark in digital sales this week. It's the best-selling song in digital history by a country male solo artist. Here's the rest of the top five: Hunter Hayes's "Wanted" (3,454,000), Luke Bryan's "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" (2,976,000), Bryan's "Drunk On You" (2,768,000) and Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel" (2,678,000).

Awful even next to "Demons" or "Wrecking Ball"?

That I-V-vi-IV progression usually makes a surefire pop hit.

But it's done in a theatrical style. I can't even recall the last time a song like that was a hit on radio.

If a station wants to force listeners to switch channels, LIG is a good option. I suppose if you've seen movie, maybe those people will like. But it sure sent me running less than 1 minute in.
