So now the question is who's leaving the top ten before Sam Smith starts snatching weaves

I mean Katy Perry *HAS* to be on the way out, right?  Can't believe that song is still around.

Happy's days are numbered as well.

Chart Watch: ‘Rude,’ ‘Summer’ Hit Top 10

Two songs that are widely expected to rank among the biggest songs of the summer, MAGIC!'s "Rude" and Calvin Harris's "Summer," break into the top 10 on this week's Hot 100. "Rude," a charming, reggae-shaded lament, jumps from #15 to #8, leapfrogging over "Summer," a pop/dance song which jumps from #12 to #9.

"Rude" is the first top 10 hit for MAGIC!, a Canadian quartet, though front-man Nasri Atweh previously reached the top 10 as a writer on three hits. He scored with two hits by fellow Canadian Justin Bieber ("Never Say Never" featuring Jaden Smith and "As Long As You Love Me" featuring Big Sean) and one by Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera ("Feel This Moment").

"Rude" is an unusual word to find in a song title. Rihanna's "Rude Boy" was #1 for five weeks in 2010. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble had a song called "Rude Mood" on their 1983 debut album.

The group's name, MAGIC!, has been a popular song title. Three different songs titled "Magic" (without the all-caps and the exclamation point) have reached the top 10. They're by Pilot (#5 in 1975), Olivia Newton-John (#1 in 1980) and B.o.B featuring Rivers Cuomo (#10 in 2010).
As for "Summer," the R&B/funk band War had a top 10 hit with that same title in 1976. But War's song, a mellow ballad, didn't hit the top 10 until summer was almost over. It hit the top 10 in the Sept. 11 issue. (For sake of comparison, the current chart coincides with the June 14 issue.)

This is Harris's highest-charting hit on which he was credited as the lead artist. It's his third top 10 hit overall as an artist, following Rihanna's "We Found Love," on which he was featured (#1 for 10 weeks in 2011) and his own "Sweet Nothing," featuring Florence Welch (#10 in 2012). (In addition to these hits, Harris co-wrote and co-produced Rihanna's "Where Have You Been," a #5 hit in 2012.)

"Fancy" by Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX and "Problem" by Ariana Grande featuring Azalea hold at #1 and #2 for the second straight week. Azalea is the first female artist to hold down the top two spots two weeks running since R&B star Ashanti scored for five straight weeks in the spring of 2002 with her own smash "Foolish" and Fat Joe's "What's Luv?," on which she was featured.

"Fancy" has 15% more overall Hot 100 points than "Problem" this week. Last week, it led by a 28% margin. Does this mean "Problem" has a shot at hitting #1 in coming weeks? Place your bets.

"Fancy" is also #1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the second week.

"Turn Down For What" by DJ Snake & Lil Jon jumps from #5 to #4, reaching a new peak in its 23rd week on the chart. The song is #1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for the 10th week. It's just the third song to log 10 or more weeks at #1 since this chart was introduced last year. It trails Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" (26 weeks at #1) and "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams (13 weeks on top).

"Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J, which dips from #6 to #7, logs its 22nd week in the top 10. That constitutes a personal best for Perry. It tops "E.T." (featuring Kanye West), which had 20 weeks in the top 10 in 2011. The only problem is that "Dark Horse" is overshadowing Perry's follow-up single, "Birthday," which holds at #17 for the second week in its eighth week on the chart.

Both "E.T." and "Dark Horse" blend pop and hip-hop and are on the edgy, adventurous side of Perry's musical personality. In both cases, the follow-ups were pure-pop confections. The follow-up to "E.T." was "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," which had a swifter ascent than "Birthday" has. It cracked the top 10 in its fourth week and reached #1 in its 12th week. Will "Birthday" kick in and reach the top 10? If not, it will become only the third Perry single from one of her albums to fall short of the top 10, following "Thinking Of You" (#29 in 2009) and "Unconditionally" (#14 in December).

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

The Top Five: "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX holds at #1 for the second week in its 13th week on the chart. This is its sixth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (289K) … "Problem" by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea holds at #2 for the second week in its fifth week on the chart. It has been in the top 10 the entire time. Digital sales rank: #2 (243K) … John Legend's "All Of Me" holds at #3 for the second week in its 34th week on the chart. This is its 15th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #7 (123K) … "Turn Down For What" by DJ Snake & Lil Jon jumps from #5 to #4 in its 23rd week on the chart. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #5 (137K) … Pharrell Williams's dips from #4 to #5 in its 22nd week on the chart. This is its 18th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #9 (113K).

The Second Five: Nico & Vinz's "Am I Wrong" jumps from #8 to #6 in its seventh week on the chart. This is its second week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #3 (149K) … "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J dips from #6 to #7 in its 37th week on the chart. This is its 22nd week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #30 (49K) … MAGIC!'s "Rude" jumps from #15 to #8 in its sixth week on the chart. It's the group's first top 10 hit. Digital sales rank: #4 (141K) … Calvin Harris's "Summer" jumps from #12 to #9 in its 11th week on the chart. It's his third top 10 hit. Digital sales rank: #11 (97K) … "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo featuring Snoop Dogg holds at #10 for the second week in its fifth week on the chart. This is its second week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #6 (133K).

Two songs drop out of the top 10 this week. "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo featuring 2 Chainz drops from #7 to #13, ending an 18-week run in the top 10. Justin Timberlake's "Not A Bad Thing" drops from #9 to #11, ending a six-week run in the top 10.

Let's keep an eye on two songs that are already in the top 10 on Hot Digital Songs (but aren't yet in the top 10 on the Hot 100). 5 Seconds of Summer's "Good Girls" debuts at #8 (121K). Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" jumps from #18 to #10 (103K). This is 5 Seconds of Summer's second top 10 hit on Hot Digital Songs. "Don't Stop" debuted at #9 on that chart two weeks ago. Both songs will be featured on the group's upcoming eponymous debut album, which is due June 27. As for "Stay With Me" (which jumped from #49 to #31 on last week's Hot 100), Mary J. Blige is featured on a newly released version of the song.

"Low" by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain tops the 7 million mark in digital sales this week. The smash topped the Hot 100 for 10 weeks in early 2008. "Low" was the first song in digital history to reach the 4 million mark (in June 2008) and also the first song in digital history to reach the 5 million mark (in June 2009). It's the 10th song to reach 7 million.

Alicia Keys's "No One" and Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say" both top the 4 million mark in digital sales this week. "No One" spent five weeks at #1 in December 2007. "Whatcha Say" spent one week on top in November 2009. This is Keys's second song to reach 4 million. "Empire State Of Mind," a 2009 collabo with Jay Z, is up to 5,513,000.

Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" from Frozen tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. Only one Oscar-winning song has sold more digital copies. Eminem's "Lose Yourself" (from 8 Mile, the 2002 winner) is up to 6,113,000. Another Oscar-nominated song is above 3M. Pharrell Williams's "Happy" is up to 5,409,000.

MKTO's "Classic" tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week.

Katy Perry's "Roar" and Luke Bryan's "Play It Again" both top the 1 million mark in 2014 sales this week. In addition, "Roar" sold 4,410,000 copies in 2013. "Play It Again" sold 198K. Both artists join the growing list of artists who have sold 1M copies of two songs in 2014. The others: Lorde, Imagine Dragons and Iggy Azalea.

"JUST" the 3rd song to spend 10+ weeks at No. 1 in a year's time, when 1 of the three songs was there for 26 weeks? really, Billboard? just how slow do you expect turnover to be?

I thought that was pretty hilarious too. When 49 weeks since last year have been taken up by three songs it's not impressive to be "just the third" to accomplish ten weeks on top.

Hahaha that caught my attention as well. Those songs account for most of the chart's brief history.. Billboard just loves to make it sound like history is happening when it's not.

Low finally crosses 7 million

So Roar is up to 5.4m, I wonder if Birthday will have some sort of resurgence or if it's completely done.

Well, nothing against BEP. It was just kind of monotonous putting up with BEP at #1 for so long.

i didn't mind tbh, what with Miley Cyrus being the runner up and all. I preferred 26-weeks straight for BEP to Miley getting a #1 (of all her songs, I'm glad it was her one bearable to me song that gave her her first #1). Also I disliked Drake at the time so I was happy when BIEH was blocked from #1 by them too, although I started to like him, and the song, afterwards. Shame, it was his only chance thus far to ever have a solo/lead #1. He might never be able to do that now. And strangely it never even reached the top 20 in Canada IIRC and since WMN never reached #1 in Canada, he has never had a lead OR featured #1 in Canada, despite the fact that he's Canadian! If that's not ironic, idk what is. 

[Kris]

I honestly can't believe that the "Find Your Love" Drake is the same as the one today. It's probably my favourite song by him and it's in no way relative so his other songs.

Chart Watch: 5SOS Edges Lil Wayne

5 Seconds Of Summer's "Good Girls" is the top new entry on the Hot 100 at #34, two points ahead of "Believe Me" by Lil Wayne featuring Drake. "Good Girls" is the third Hot 100 song from 5 Seconds of Summer's eponymous debut album, which is due June 27. "Believe Me" is the first single from Lil Wayne's upcoming 11th solo studio album, Tha Carter V.
"Good Girls" enters Hot Digital Songs at #8 this week (121K). It's the pop group's second top 10 hit on that chart. "Don't Stop" debuted at #9 two weeks ago. 5SOS's first hit, "She Looks So Perfect" jumps from #27 to #24 in its ninth week on the Hot 100.

Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV each spawned three top 10 singles. The first single from III, "Lollipop" (featuring Static Major), hit #1. The first single from IV, "6 Foot 7 Foot" (featuring Cory Gunz), reached #9.

"Believe Me" is vying to become the sixth top 10 hit on the Hot 100 on which Lil Wayne and Drake shared billing. It would follow Drake's "Forever" (which also featured Kanye West & Eminem), Lil Wayne's "Right Above It," DJ Khaled's "I'm On One" (which also featured Rick Ross), Lil Wayne's "She Will" and Lil Wayne's "Love Me (which also featured Future).
This week's big chart news is MAGIC!'s "Rude" and Calvin Harris's "Summer" breaking into the top 10. I covered this, and the rest of the top 10 action, in a Chart Watch blog that we posted Wednesday. If you missed it, here's a link. This blog is a look at key movers and debuts below the top 10.

Rixton's "Me And My Broken Heart" rebounds from #21 to #15 in its 10th week. The song, which sounds like a cross between Rob Thomas and Maroon 5, has already climbed as high as #14 … Luke Bryan's "Play It Again" rebounds from #18 to #16 in its 12th week. The song has already climbed as high as #14. The song is #1 on Hot Country Songs for the eighth week.

Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" leaps from #31 to #19 in its eighth week. Digital sales rank: #10 (103K). Mary J. Blige is featured on a newly released version of the song. Smith has two other songs in this week's top 30. Disclosure's "Latch," on which he is featured, jumps from #29 to #22 in its 11th week. Naughty Boy's "La La La," on which he is also featured, rebounds from #30 to #29 in its 15th week. The latter song climbed as high as #19.

MKTO's "Classic" jumps from #25 to #21 in its 16th week. This is its highest ranking to date … Jake Owen's "Beachin'" jumps from #37 to #30 in its 10th week.

Miranda Lambert lands her seventh top 40 hit as "Automatic" jumps from #46 to #40 in its 15th week. Look for Lambert's Platinum to enter The Billboard 200 at #1 next week, with first-week sales in the 170K range. "Somethin' Bad," Lambert's duet with Carrie Underwood, tumbles from #39 to #91 in its second week, but that's not unusual for singles before they find their footing at radio.

KONGOS's "Come With Me Now" jumps from #52 to #43 in its ninth week … Lee Brice's "I Don't Dance" jumps from #60 to #52 in its seventh week … Iggy Azalea's "Work" jumps from #63 to #54 in its fifth week … "2 On" by Tinashe featuring ScHoolboy Q jumps from #75 to #56 in its fourth week … Tyler Farr's "Whiskey In My Water" jumps from #69 to #57 in its 10th week … "Cut Her Off" by KCamp featuring 2 Chainz jumps from #71 to #60 in its eighth week … Joe Nichols's "Yeah" jumps from #73 to #62 in its sixth week … Dierks Bentley's "Drunk On A Plane" jumps from #79 to #65 in its third week.

Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)" is the week's third highest new entry at #66. It's from the Swedish artist's upcoming EP, Truth Serum … Billy Currington's "We Are Tonight" jumps from #83 to #68 in its sixth week … Brad Paisley's "River Bank" jumps from #80 to #69 in its fourth week … Usher's steamy "Good Kisser" jumps from #84 to #72 in its fourth week. The song has climbed as high as #70 … Wiz Khalifa's "We Dem Boyz" jumps from #82 to #73 in its seventh week.

"MMM Yeah" by Austin Mahone featuring Pitbull jumps from #85 to #74 in its 15th week. The song has climbed as high as #49. Mahone's second EP, The Secret, enters The Billboard 200 at #5 this week … Shakira's "Dare (La La La)" leaps from #95 to #75 in its second week … Craig Campbell's "Keep Them Kisses Comin'" jumps from #87 to #78 in its fifth week.

Lana Del Rey's "Shades Of Cool" is the week's fourth highest new entry at #79. It's the second Hot 100 single from her third studio album, Ultraviolence, which is due June 13 … "Main Chick" by Kid Ink featuring Chris Brown jumps from #88 to #80 in its third week … One Direction's "You & I" rebounds from #93 to #81 in its seventh week. The song has climbed as high as #68.

Jason Derulo's "Trumpets" debuts at #87. It's the third Hot 100 single from Talk Dirty … John Mayer's "XO" debuts at #90 … Sara Bareilles's "I Choose You" re-enters the chart at #94. The song has already climbed as high as #81 … George Strait's "I Got A Car" debuts at #96. It's the second Hot 100 hit from "Love Is Everything," following "Give It All We Got Tonight" (which reached #43) … "I Won" by Future featuring Kanye West re-enters the chart at #98 … Pharrell's "Come Get It Bae" re-enters the chart at #99. The song has already climbed as high as #82.

"Meanwhile Back At Mama's" by Tim McGraw featuring Faith Hill debuts at #100. It's the fifth collaboration by the pair to make the Hot 100, following "It's Your Love" (#7 in 1997), "Let's Make Love" (#54 in 2000), "Like We Never Loved At All" (#45 in 2005) and "I Need You" (#50 in 2007). This is the second Hot 100 single from McGraw's 13th studio album, "Sundown Heaven Town," which is due Sept. 16.

Wake Me Up jumps from 40 to 37, I think it's safe to say it's going to hit a year :)

2009 was one of the most boring years for mainstream music definitely (not because of the BEPs getting 6 months at #1, I didn't mind that tbh). It was boring because nothing exciting was happening at the time. It was very slow-paced compared to 2006-2008. Boom Boom Pow was actually one of the more interesting things to happen that year, I remember lots of people thought it would flop when it first premiered, then it ended up being year-end #1!

But 2009 had Gaga :'(

^ Too bad she went to shit after 2009.

I think 2011 Gaga was still pretty awesome. No one could live up to the expectations that were placed on her when she released the BTW album. I am still hoping she can turn things around with whatever she does next.
