You can easily omit The Voice performances to get a more "accurate" picture- i.e. there are six in the top 20 currently, a dozen in the top 100.  I find it ironic that the 3rd place finisher has the TWO highest charting songs still. And the second place finisher is above the winner (3 songs in top 30 compared to 2 for winner). I can't believe people still fall for these shows. iTunes votes were thrown out because there was an error with one of the contestants, the winner Josh Kaufman aka the one who didn't do as well on iTunes. |

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Ariana Grande's "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, holds at No. 1 for a third week, selling 248,000 downloads (up 5 percent). Azalea is also steady at No. 2 with her own song, "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX (234,000; up 8 percent). Both tunes were performed in a medley on the May 18 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) -- and May 18 was the final day of the tracking week.
Another BBMAs-performed cut, John Legend's "All Of Me," rises 4-3 with 158,000 (up 10 percent). Pharrell's "Happy" drops 3-4 with 130,000 (down 17 percent), DJ Snake & Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" is a non-mover at No. 5 with 121,000 (down 7 percent). Nico & Vinz's "Am I Wrong" continues its climb, rising 8-6 with 115,000 (up 23 percent).
Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake's "Love Never Felt So Good" is pushed back one spot, but increases in sales, with 110,000 (up 9 percent).
Jason Derulo's "Wiggle," featuring Snoop Dogg, is also pushed down a rung, but gains: 109,00 for the week (up 16 percent).
Pop/rock quartet 5 Seconds of Summer nets its second top 10 on the Digital Songs chart with "Don't Stop," which bows at No. 9 with 91,000. Derulo is in the top 10 once more, with "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz, staying put at No. 10 with 85,000 (up 4 percent).

What are the odds that "Fancy" is named the #1 song today?

Fancy needs ~2-3 million more streams than All of Me to be #1 on the Hot 100 this week...I'm hoping it can pull if off!
Let's see that article "Iggy's 'Fancy' jumps to #1, Ed Sheeran enters top 10"...

Iggy's already tweeted that Fancy is at #2. We'll probably know from her first if the song makes #1, haha.

I'd love to see MJ grab that Top 10 - it will give him a Top 10 single in five decades. Add in J5 and it's six decades. |

Christina Grimme was probably in the best position to have a hit, since she has a fanbase and (apparently) more selling power. |

Whoever is her secret squirrel we need to find out. Iggy's been announcing her Billboard position way before Billboard. She announced being Platinum yesterday and broke the positions of Problem and Fancy before the digital numbers were even announced.

1989 was when the record industry decided to give one last break to all the 70s icons that had been dissed in the 80s. Suddenly the Doobie Brothers, the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Donny Osmond, Bette Midler, Roy Orbison, Al Green & Alice Cooper had top 10 songs again. I know! I was young but def. remember when this was happening esp. in the summer of '89 when all these disco acts were all over the radio. At the time, was so bizarre and random as the 80s were suuper anti 70s in every way esp. towards disco or disco tinged artists. The fact the Bee Gees, Donna Summer and Donny Osmond lol had not just hits , but big top 10 hits was way more out of left field vs. what's happening today. Today, that sound and era is now considered 'classic', hip again and somehow aged like fine wine. In the 80s people were still super raw and turned off by anything 70s since it was only 10 years before. The styles and sound of music abruptly changed almost overnight (in the early 80s) |

Okay..its really time for All Of Me to fall..hard lol. Song is pleasant but it's def. way past its expiration date/fried and frankly, overrated. Still a pity Get Lucky couldn't get that last minute break that AOM me got :/. Now that I think about it, Blurred Lines took a little while to blow up (then didn't stop) while Happy rose and fell much quicker which is why AOM was able to hold on. Regardless, everyone I know thinks Ordinary People is still his better song. lol

Unfortunately, based on his last efforts, he was def. ending up like Prince lol- releasing weaker albums after the next. Prob. would've worked w/ some tired producer and put out the same kind of bland songs like from his last studio album in 2001. |

To The Voice ruining the iTunes charts, F**k you Its absolutely the new 'Glee' esque kind of infestation. Even if its temporary, it messes everything up and is an eye soar as the 'real' songs get pushed down and get less exposure. |

I was thinking AOM was going to be #1 for a lone week but it managed stay at #1 for 3 weeks, good for him but it's about time "Fancy" takes the top spot. :)

If MJ makes the top 10, that would be a fifth decade where he's had a top 10 hit. (6th if you count him on "I Want You Back" in 1969.) Crazy! Is there any other artist that's done that?

Yes, Love Never Felt So Good would never have been released, it is a dance-disco track written after the fall of disco.
The whole album would never have happened either. It exists to donate money to his estate.
6 decades would be a record. MJ already holds the record anyway at 5 and already extended the record of time span between first and last top 40 hit regardless of future movement

I can't believe people still fall for these shows. There's a reason why voice winners don't go on to be commercially successful. Christina Grimme was probably in the best position to have a hit, since she has a fanbase and (apparently) more selling power. Christine Grimme sounded good on her duet with Ed Sheeran last night because she had to restrain herself. Otherwise she tends to get really screechy and sound like she's yelling. Her coming in third place is consistent with the votes from last week. Last week she was in the bottom and had to be saved by the voters on Twitter. If they didn't have the Voice Save many thought she would have been eliminated as Kristen had higher chart positions. There was a glitch in itunes where Josh (the winner) song couldn't be pulled up as a single. In order to buy his single you had to buy the album. This cost him lots of votes and was probably the reason why he wasn't in the top 10. The votes on itunes had to be thrown out even though the Voice said the results would have been the same even if they weren't thrown out. I believe that. Adam also agreed to sign Christina Grimme to his label so she'll have every chance to prove that she can be commercially successful. |

Gary Trust tweeted that two songs enter top 10 this week. Probably Am I Wrong and either Wiggle or MJ/JT.
