1. Some have asked what does All Of Me have that his other songs didn't? The answer: A Grammy performance.
Without that, it wouldn't be so huge, it would have peaked in the 30-40. But the Grammy's came and when it jumped to #4, it stayed there.

What? Are you sure? I recall it jumping into the top 10 of iTunes and hovering in the top 20 for weeks before.

Happy's update isn't that surprising. While peaking on many formats at once will lead to insane AI peaks, it also means the song will switch from making huge gains to falling very quickly.

I don't, but I could be wrong.

If you know your Curtis Mayfields and your classic early 1970s R&B, you know what Happy is.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

If I were the record company I'd do a rush release of Happy to Christian and Gospel radio. I'd clear channel it to get it over that 300mm hurdle.

[HolidayGuy]

But BDS is the official airplay course for Billboard, and it wouldn't get anywhere near 300m in that regard. :)

Well 30 cm isn't really a large obstacle...

So low for the bottom half.

@ Happy going up 2%. He's staying perched at #1 regardless.

I agree. All Of Me is doing well all over the world, and John Legend probably hasn't set foot in most of those countries, let alone done a TV performance. All Of Me would have done well without the Grammys imo, maybe it would have just taken a bit longer.

Happy last Wednesday:
- 210 million BDS
- 275,412 million Mediabase
Mediabase = 1.312 * BDS

Blurred Lines when it broke the record:
- 228.9 BDS
- 282.795 Mediabase
Mediabase = 1.24 * BDS

It would need 300+ million Mediabase AI to beat the BDS record, I hope Robin at least keeps that one, it's the official one anyway.

[Deleted]

so I guess in a day or two we will have 3 songs with 200M for the first time! I said earlier that it would be AOM not Team that would complete the trio...I saw it coming ...I wish Team would get up there too so we could have 4 of them! :/

&&& woooooooow at the negative update for Happy! :O :O :O

Pharrell Williams Leads Hot 100; John Legend, Idina Menzel On The Move

By Gary Trust, New York | March 26, 2014
Williams' 'Happy' reigns for a fifth week, and moves closer to a radio audience record, while John Legend's 'All of Me' rises to No. 2 and Idina Menzel's 'Let It Go' leaps to No. 5.

As we do each Wednesday, let's dig into the numbers behind the top 10.

As "Happy" maintains its Hot 100 command, it rules the Radio Songs chart for a fourth week with a 5 percent lift, to 219 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. Within the Radio Songs chart's 23-year history, it moves to second place among titles with the biggest weekly audiences. Here's a look at the top five, with Williams figuring into the top two such hits:

Peak Audience, Title, Artist (Chart Week)
229 million, "Blurred Lines," Robin Thicke featuring T.I. + Pharrell (Aug. 31, 2013)
219 million, "Happy," Pharrell Williams (April 5, 2014)
212 million, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey (July 9, 2005)
196 million, "Irreplaceable," Beyonce (Jan. 20, 2007)
192 million, "No One," Alicia Keys (Dec. 22, 2007)

Linking the above hits are their crossover appeal, as all scored success at pop, R&B and adult formats, among others. Fueling its Radio Songs reign, "Happy" additionally leads the Mainstream Top 40, Adult Top 40, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Adult R&B airplay charts, while ranking in the top 10 on Rhythmic and Adult Contemporary and in the top 20 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Triple A and Latin Airplay.

"Happy" leads the Digital Songs chart for a sixth week, up 2 percent to 370,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Having sold at least 300,000 in each of the last six weeks, it's the first song to link such a streak since Katy Perry's "Roar" also reached the 300,000-downloads sold mark in six straight frames over its first six weeks of release last August through October. "Happy" is the first song by a male artist to rack such a run since Thicke's "Blurred Lines" did so for a record 10 consecutive weeks last year.

On Streaming Songs, "Happy" slides 5-10 with 3.3 million U.S. streams (down 9 percent), according to BDS. It departs the summit of the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart after two weeks at No. 1 (2.4 million U.S. streams, down 15 percent, according to BDS). The cut spends a seventh week at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

John Legend's first Hot 100 top 10, "All of Me," climbs 3-2. The piano ballad holds at No. 2 on Digital Songs (224,000, up 4 percent) and No. 4 on Streaming Songs (6.8 million, up 6 percent), while rising 4-3 on Radio Songs (143 million, up 13 percent). The song earns top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100, ending the eight-week streak of "Happy" claiming the award (the second-best stretch ever; "Blurred Lines" linked 10 weeks in a row).

The continued domination of Williams and the advance of Legend earns the artists' label, Columbia Records, its own honors. Columbia is the first label to monopolize the Hot 100's top two in exactly a year, since Warner Bros.' Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, returned to No. 1 for its fifth of six weeks at the summit, displacing Baauer's No. 2 "Harlem Shake" after five weeks at No. 1 (April 6, 2013). Columbia had last doubled up in the top two on the Feb. 26, 2000, chart, when Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" logged its fourth and final week at No. 1 and Mariah Carey's "Thank God I Found You," featuring Joe & 98 Degrees, fell to No. 2 after a week on top.

Below the two Columbia crooners, Katy Perry's "Dark Horse," featuring Juicy J, dips 2-3 on the Hot 100 after four weeks at No. 2. It led for four frames before "Happy" began its command.

Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz, ranks at No. 4 on the Hot 100 for a second week. It peaked at No. 3 for four weeks.

Idina Menzel returns to the Hot 100's top 10, rocketing into the top five (14-5, a new peak). Two weeks ago, it leapt 17-9 following the buzz of the ballad, from Disney's "Frozen," winning best original song at the Oscars on March 2. The song benefits from the release of the movie on DVD and blu-ray on March 18, as does the "Frozen" soundtrack, which scores a seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, as "Fanzels" (aka, fans of Menzel, Billboard magazine's current cover artist) helped it sell 202,000 copies in the week ending March 23 (up 104 percent), its best weekly sum so far.

"Go" earns the top Streaming and Digital Gainer nods on the Hot 100, vaulting 10-2 on Streaming Songs (7.5 million, up 114 percent) and pushing 5-4 on Digital Songs (167,000, up 37 percent).

Menzel's breakout mainstream hit also becomes the highest-charting best original song winner on the Hot 100 since Eminem's "Lose Yourself," from "8 Mile," won for 2002 after spending 12 weeks at No. 1. ("Go" passes last year's champ, Adele's No. 8-peaking "Skyfall," the only other winner to reach the top 10 since Eminem's hit.)

Of the total Hot 100 points for "Go," 51 percent are from sales and 45 percent from streaming, with just 4 percent owed to radio. Still, the song rises on two airplay charts: Adult Contemporary (16-15) and Adult Pop Songs (36-32).

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Bastille's "Pompeii" slips from its No. 5 peak to No. 6 (and tops Hot Rock Songs for a sixth week) and Lorde's "Team" likewise drops a spot from its No. 6 highpoint.

OneRepublic's No. 2 Hot 100 hit "Counting Stars" descends 7-8, while Aloe Blacc rises to a new best rank (10-9) with "The Man." The latter track climbs 8-6 on Digital Songs (126,000, up 30 percent), 19-14 on Radio Songs (54 million, up 5 percent) and 37-28 on Streaming Songs (2.3 million, up 11 percent). During the tracking week, Blacc appeared on NBC's "The Voice" and ABC's "Good Morning America."

Beyonce's No. 2-peaking "Drunk in Love," featuring Jay Z, closes out the Hot 100's top 10 (8-10).

Visit Billboardbiz tomorrow (March 27), when all rankings, including the Hot 100, Digital Songs, Radio Songs, Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs will refresh, as they do each Thursday.

I'm assuing Let It go back in top 10 and The Man in the top 5?

HAha nevermind- I guess it was Let It go that went back into the top 10 at #5

[Deleted]

I guess Blurred Lines is holding that record for a while longer...whoever said don't count the chickens before they hatch was right...I'm kinda sad because not only will it not beat BL's record, it's also falling hard in airplay and streaming so it probably will be out of #1 in a couple weeks and will certainly not be the song to be #1 in all three components at the same time...I hope that at least means that AOM will be able to reach #1 after Happy instead of some sh*t like #selfie...

[Enigma.]

Never thought Let It Go could go top 5 with that amount of airplay.

[Deleted]

Well this is truly depressing...I would much rather Happy hold the record than Blurred Lines...

[imbondz]

I'm hoping Happy has at least a double digit stay at #1.

[Deleted]

^ seems unlikely...I think it will probably finish with 7 or 8 weeks at #1 which is pretty good I guess

[HolidayGuy]

Huge streaming gain for "Let it Go." People refuse to do so, apparently.

And hey, it's not a bad song either. Sort of reminds me of 90's Disney music.

What's unique is how this song stands out like a sore thumb against mainstream pop.

^Indeed. That wouldn't be the case as much if it had been Demi Lovato's version that took off.

The mediabase numbers went up while the number of people listening to records has been cut in half.

It's plummeting on streaming, already peaked on radio (sooner than most of us expected) and sales (which is ironically usually the first one to go but in this case it's the last) will obviously start to fall soon...I give it 3 more weeks atop the Hot 100 (since it's still pretty far ahead of AOM on radio so it will take longer for AOM to catch up in airplay than it will be in sales, and it's already quite far ahead in streaming)

There's no guarantee that AOM will catch up to "Happy" in either sales or airplay. It might or it might not. Keep in mind just how high "Happy"s sales were at their peak. And as far as airplay goes, I don't see AOM getting as high in airplay as Pharrell's song has.

Which isn't to say that I think "Happy" will stay on top for a lot more weeks either; maybe 8 or 9 overall, possibly 10, but it definitely won't tie or beat "Blurred Lines" 12 weeks last year.

Chart Watch: Two Movie Songs In Top 5
By Paul Grein, Yahoo Music

Two songs that competed for the Academy Award for Original Song on March 2 are listed in the top five on this week's Hot 100. Pharrell Williams's "Happy" holds at #1 for the fifth week. Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" rebounds from #14 to #5, in the wake of the release of the DVD and blu-ray of "Frozen." ("Let It Go," of course, won the award.)

This is the first time in 16 years that two of the Original Song finalists were top five hits on the Hot 100. The two nominees for 1997 that made the top five were Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" (from "Titanic"), which spent two weeks at #1, and LeAnn Rimes's "How Do I Live" (from "Con Air"), which spent four weeks at #2. (Those songs were never in the top five at the same time, however.)

"Let It Go" this week becomes the highest-charting Oscar winner for Original Song since Eminem's "Lose Yourself," the 2002 winner. That song logged 12 weeks on top. ("Lose Yourself" made news of its own this week. Details below.) "Let It Go" this week surpasses Adele's "Skyfall," the 2012 winner, which peaked at #8.

Menzel won a Tony as Actress (Musical) in 2004 for "Wicked." Menzel is only the second person who has won a Tony for a performance in a Broadway musical ever to land a top five hit on the pop chart, dating back to the inception of the pop chart in 1940. The first was Harry Belafonte, who reached #5 in February 1957 with the classic "Banana Boat (Day-O)." Belafonte won a Tony for Actor (Featured Role—Musical) in 1954 for "John Murray Anderson's Almanac."

"Happy" rang up 219 million all-format "audience impressions" at radio this week. Only one song has had more in the 23-year history of the Radio Songs chart. That's Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," which rang up 229 million audience impressions last August. That song, of course, featured Williams (and also T.I.).

Also, "Happy" tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. This is Williams' third song to reach this plateau; his first as a lead artist. "Happy" is the first song to sell 3 million copies in 2014. "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J had been the first to sell both 1 million and 2 million copies in 2014.

Finally, "Happy" tops Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the seventh week.

John Legend's "All Of Me" jumps from #3 to #2. The song tops 2 million in digital sales this week. It's Legend's first song to reach that plateau.

OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" dips from #7 to #8. This is its 22nd week in the top 10. The group's breakthrough smash, Timbaland's "Apologize," logged 25 weeks in the top 10.

As promised, here's the news about "Lose Yourself." The hip-hop anthem tops the 6 million mark in digital sales this week. The song was released in October 2002, six months before the opening of the iTunes store. So the fact that it has achieved this tremendous sales tally is remarkable. Only one other song that was released prior to 2007 has sold 6 million digital copies. That's Journey's 1981 hit "Don't Stop Believin'," which has sold 6,041,000 copies.

On March 23, 2003, "Lose Yourself" became the first hip-hop song to win an Academy Award for Original Song. Eminem didn't appear on the telecast, either to perform or pick up his Oscar. (He had performed the song on the Grammys exactly one month earlier—an appearance that probably clinched his Oscar win.)

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

The Top Five: Pharrell Williams's "Happy" holds at #1 for the fifth week in its 12th week on the chart. This is its eighth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (370K) … John Legend's "All Of Me" jumps from #3 to #2 in its 24th week on the chart. This is its fifth week in the top 10.

Digital sales rank: #5 (150K) … "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo featuring 2 Chainz holds at #4 for the third week in its 14th week on the chart. This is its ninth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #3 (188K) … Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" rebounds from #14 to #5 in its 17th week on the chart. This is its second week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #4 167K).

The Second Five: Bastille's "Pompeii" dips from #5 to #6 in its 32nd week on the chart. This is its ninth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #8 (98K) … Lorde's "Team" dips from #6 to #7 in its 26th week on the chart. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #12 (70K) …. OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" dips from #7 to #8 in its 40th week on the chart. This is its 22nd week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #18 (62K) … Aloe Blacc's "The Man" jumps from #10 to #9 in its 13th week on the chart. This is its second week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #6 (126K)…."Drunk In Love" by Beyonce featuring Jay Z drops from #8 to #10 in its 14th week on the chart. This is its eighth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #13 (66K)

Soko's "We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow" drops out of the top 10 after debuting last week at #9. You may recall that, despite that lofty Hot 100 bow, its digital sales were meager last week (Digital sales rank: #157, 10K). Amazingly, they dropped this week (Digital sales rank: below the top 200, 3K).

Three songs that are not yet listed in the top 10 on the Hot 100 are already ranked in the top 10 on Hot Digital Songs. They are: The Chainsmokers' "#Selfie" (Digital sales rank: #7, 101K), "Turn Down For What" by DJ Snake & Lil Jon (Digital sales rank: #9, 89K) and "This Is How We Roll" by Florida Georgia Line featuring Luke Bryan (Digital sales rank: #10, 78K). "This Is How We Roll" hit #1 on Hot Country Songs last week and is sure to stay there this week.

"Holy Grail" by Jay Z featuring Justin Timberlake tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. It's the pair's second 3-million seller. "Suit And Tie" is up to 3,044,000. This is not the first time that two superstar acts have teamed up repeatedly. The leaders in terms of repeat pairings are Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. From 1943 to 1951, the crooner and the popular sister trio teamed up for 12 top 10 hits, including the classic "Don't Fence Me In." You're just getting started, Jay and Justin.

One Direction's "Story Of My Life" tops the 2 million mark. It's the boy band's second song to reach this plateau, following "What Makes You Beautiful" (4,525,000). That catchy confection played to its teen base. This pretty ballad expanded its audience. The song reached #6 on the Hot 100.

Avicii's "Hey Brother" tops the 1 million mark. It's his second million-seller. "Wake Me Up!" is up to 4,060,000. "Hey Brother" has climbed as high as #20 on the Hot 100.

"Show Me" by Kid Ink featuring Chris Brown tops the 1 million mark. The song has climbed as high as #14 on the Hot 100.

"Stay The Night" by Zedd featuring Hayley Williams tops the 1 million mark. The song reached #18 on the Hot 100. This is Zedd's second million-seller, following "Clarity" (featuring Foxes), which is up to 2,238,000.

To My Readers: I'll have a separate Chart Watch report on this week's key movers and debuts on the Hot 100 later today. I won't recap the top 10 in that second report. It will be fresh material.
