Was that the lowest dip for any song ever before returning to #1? Because I know songs don't usually return to #1 if they fall below #2 and I was surprised (as well as disappointed as I did not like Stronger and really wanted Set Fire To The Rain to return to #1 and hated seeing it get "blocked" by multiple songs there in February/March) when I saw the song go 1-1-4-1...so is this a record or something? Or have songs fallen lower from #1 and returned to the top spot later?

Nice gain for TOL :)
I hope it will be his first top 3 at least

Taylor Ties Pharrell for 2014 Digital Sales CrownPaul Grein, Yahoo! Chart Watch Taylor Swift this week ties Pharrell Williams as the artist who has logged the most weeks at #1 on the Digital Songs sales chart in 2014. Both hit-makers have had 11 weeks at #1 so far this year. Williams racked up that total with just one song (“Happy”). Swift needed three songs to equal that total: “Shake It Off” (four weeks), “Out of the Woods” (one week) and the current “Blank Space” (six weeks and counting). There are still two weeks left in Nielsen SoundScan’s tracking year, so Swift will probably pull ahead of Williams. Only three other artists in the digital era have spent 11 or more week at #1 on the Digital Songs chart during a calendar year. The Black Eyed Peas had 20 weeks on top in 2009, owing to the success of those back-to-back earworms “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling.” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis had 15 weeks on top in 2013, thanks to “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us.” LMFAO had 11 weeks on top in 2011 thanks to their earworms “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I Know It.” "Blank Space" also tops the Hot 100 for the fifth week in its seventh week on the chart. It’s Swift’s longest-running #1 hit to date, surpassing "Shake It Off," which had four weeks on top. This is Billboard's final Hot 100 of 2014 (their publishing calendar runs 13 days behind Nielsen SoundScan “week ending” dates). Female artists held the lead position on the #1 song for 28 of the 52 weeks of Billboard's publishing year. That was the best showing for women since 2011 (a.k.a., the year of Adele), when women were out front for 37 weeks. "Blank Space" jumps to #1 in its sixth week on the all-genre Radio Songs chart, which measures only airplay. It displaces Maroon 5's “Animals.” It's one of only four songs in the past 12 years to streak to #1 on this key chart in just six weeks. The others are Lady Gaga's “Born This Way,” “The Monster” by Eminem featuring Rihanna and Pharrell’s aforementioned “Happy.” "Shake It Off" drops from #6 to #10 in its 17th week on the Hot 100. "Style," which is likely to be Swift’s next single, re-enters the chart at #76. Hozier's “Take Me to Church” holds at #2 for the second week in its 18th week. It's #1 on Rock Songs for the eighth week. "Uptown Funk!" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars jumps from #5 to #3 in its fifth week. It’s Mars’s seventh song to reach the top three. Prince had a pair of top 10 albums in October. If he’d had a track as irresistable as “Uptown Funk!” on one of those albums, it would have been hailed as the comeback of the year. Ronson and Mars doubtless drew inspiration from classic Prince tracks, as well as vintage productions by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. "Uptown Funk!" enters The U.K.’s Official Sales Chart at #1. It’s Ronson’s first U.K. #1 (as either an artist or producer); Mars’s fifth. It is very likely to become Mars’s fourth transatlantic #1, following B.o.B's “Nothin' on You” (on which he was featured), “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade.” (His other U.K. #1 was “The Lazy Song,” which peaked at #4 in the U.S.) Like Swift, Meghan Trainor has two songs in the top 10. “Lips Are Movin” jumps from #8 to #4 in its eighth week. “All About That Bass” drops from #3 to #7 in its 23rd week. (It tops the 4 million mark in digital sales this week.) Sam Smith's “I'm Not the Only One” jumps from #7 to #5 its 15th week. The song tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. It's Smith's second million-seller as a lead artist. “Stay with Me” is up to 3,213,000. Ed Sheeran lands his highest-charting hit to date as “Thinking Out Loud” vaults from #24 to #6 in its 10th week. It’s Sheeran’s second top 10 hit. “Don’t” reached #9 last month. "Thinking Out Loud" includes the lyric, "And darling I will be loving you ‘til you’re 70." Sheeran, 23, isn’t the first young songwriter to choose a specific age (that probably sounds a lifetime away) to signify old age. Paul Simon referred to that same age in Simon & Garfunkel's 1968 album track “Old Friends.” The lyric: “How terribly strange to be 70.” (Simon was 26 at the time. He is now 73.) Paul McCartney chose an even younger age to denote “old age” in “When I’m Sixty-Four.” McCartney wrote the jaunty tune when he was just 16. Eight years later, the Beatles recorded it on their opus Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. (McCartney is now 72.) And now, back to the countdown. Maroon 5's “Animals” drops from #4 to #8 in its 17th week. The song peaked at #3. "Love Me Harder" by Ariana Grande & The Weeknd rebounds from #10 to #9 in its 10th week. The song peaked at #7. Nick Jonas's “Jealous” drops out of the top 10 this week. It peaked at #8. Jonas's drop-trou photo spread and this excellent pop record combined to make their point: Jonas has grown up. Tove Lo's “Habits (Stay High)” and “Black Widow” by Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora both top the 2 million mark in digital sales this week. Both songs reached #3 on the Hot 100. To My Readers: I’ll have a second blog drawn from the Hot 100 later on. I’ll also post Chart Watch Albums. Crazy day.

Glad to see Uptown Funk and I'm Not The Only One going up. Though it doesn't look like Shake It Off will beat the Starships record or even tie it :( Shake it off is at 17 weeks, that's pretty good for a song in the top 10. It just lost a lot of firepower in the last 3 weeks, and that's a shame, it was in a really good position to go for the record. Yup, but 12 weeks in the top 2 is pretty huge for Shake It Off alone, I think that's her highest stay in the top 2. And it doesn't help that Blank Space is killing it too, otherwise, Shake It Off may have had more longevity, it only started dropping in the last 3 weeks because of the insane power of Blank Space. (Starships wasn't competing with a second single which kind of helped it's longevity) The same thing happened to Roar, although it wasn't really competing with a second single. I think Shake It Off can hang in the top 10 for 3-4 more weeks with the year end countdowns and such (it helped Roar re-enter the top 10 in its 21st week) so we'll see! |

As far as I know, it shares the record with KC & the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)," which went 1-2-2-4-1 in late 1975. |

It just lost a lot of firepower in the last 3 weeks, and that's a shame, it was in a really good position to go for the record.

As far as I know, it shares the record with KC & the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)," which went 1-2-2-4-1 in late 1975. True lol but Stronger is still tied for that record unless something fell to #5 or lower before returning to #1 (in a single chart run, so bar The Twist) |

Taylor Swift Leads Billboard Hot 100, Ed Sheeran Soars to Top 10This year marked the most dominant one for women in the No. 1 spot since 2012, when women held the apex for a hefty 37 frames (led by the likes of Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Rihanna). Here's an interesting tidbit concerning this bit of information. The first three number ones this year were performed by a male/female collaboration: "The Monster" (Eminem & Rihanna), "Timber" (Pitbull & Ke$ha), and "Dark Horse" (Katy Perry & Juicy J). This lasted for 9 weeks. Then the males returned to power in the spring with "Happy" reigning for 11 weeks followed by "All of Me" for an additional three. Following that came another collaboration, but this time, it was all female. "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX topped for 7 weeks. This gave way to an all male band, MAGIC!, topping with "Rude" for 6 weeks. Ever since "Rude" was replaced by Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" on the September 6th chart, the number one song has either been by Taylor Swift or Meghan Trainor, both females, lasting an astonishing 17 weeks. In total, this marks 26 weeks for males, 33 weeks for females. But even more interesting: The longest running time for the top artists in both genders is Pharrell Williams with 11 weeks for "Happy." The top female was Taylor Swift coming in at nine weeks when totaling "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space." And speaking of that, Taylor Swift is the only artist this year to score more than one number one hit. Unless we're counting any shitty Pitbull remixes that may or may not be official.
On a side note, "Blank Space"'s replacement and length at number one are both still up in the air. With The Voice taking away "Blank Space"'s crowning spot on iTunes, it lost the number one exposure advantage, and "Uptown Funk," "Thinking Out Loud," and "Take Me to Church" have all surpassed it. With the Christmas Rush just around the corner, I would not be shocked in the least to see "Uptown Funk" or "Take Me to Church" sneak its way to number one before "Blank Space" reclaims the top spot on iTunes, if that ever happens. "Uptown Funk" currently holds the top spot on iTunes now, but "Take Me to Church" and "Thinking Out Loud" are gaining on it. |

I ain't even mad though also Billboard "fixed" their mistake by changing 2011 to 2012 xD because Lady Gaga was obviously #1 in 2012 lol #Fail #GiveUpGuys unless they mean that it was in both 2011 and 2012 that females got 37 weeks atop in each year. |

since this was the last chart of 2014 (going by publication date), it looks like we only had 9 No. 1 hits in 2014 (not counting "The Monster", since it first hit No. 1 in 2013):
1.) "Timber" (3 weeks)
2.) "Dark Horse" (4 weeks)
3.) "Happy" (10 weeks)
4.) "All Of Me" (3 weeks)
5.) "Fancy" (7 weeks)
6.) "Rude" (6 weeks)
7.) "Shake It Off" (4 weeks, non-consecutive)
8.) "All About That Bass" (8 weeks)
9.) "Blank Space" (5+ weeks)
compared to:
2013 = 10
2012 = 12
2011 = 13
2010 = 17
(again, only counting songs in the year they first reached No.1, aka not counting any songs twice.) 2014 was the first year in the 2010's to not have any 1-week-No. 1's. actually, it was the first year since 2002 to not have any 1-week-No. 1's!

#1s this year seemed to hang around forever :/ yeah, and I think streaming had a lot to do with that. the Top 10 was paaaaainfully static until they tweaked the weight of streaming a few weeks ago. I honestly don't know how far back you'd have to go to find a year where the shortest-lasting No. 1 was 3 weeks (as it was this year - not counting "The Monster", which had 4 weeks total spread across 2013-2014.) quickly browsing through Wikipedia, this is the first time it's happened in the SoundScan era. |

And I think it's the FIRST year to not have any 1 week or 2 week number ones, every number one this year had a stay at the top of more than half a month! EDIT: Didn't realize you posted something similar above me, but I did a quick wiki and I couldn't find anything after 1975 that had no 1 week or 2 week number ones! Number ones did hang around for a long time! |

#1's did seem to hang around longer than normal (given their popularity). With that said it felt like we only had one HUGE number one this year with Happy. You could argue for AATB, but it wasn't Happy/Thrift Shop/Blurred Lines/CMM/STIUTK popular.

Don't matter how you try to discredit it, AATB was "Happy/Thrift Shop/Blurred Lines/CMM/STIUTK popular".

I think "One more night" is the song which was #1 for weeks more than it deserved...
Surely 9 weeks was too much for it...and 7 of them put GS at #2

Surely 10 weeks was too much for it...and 7 of them put GS at #2 A case could be made that One More Night shouldn't have spent 1 week at #1. I love Maroon 5 but that's far from their best hit. Just had great timing with Billboards methodology at the time. |

I wish that then they would have used the methodology that they use now (starting from a few weeks ago). Same as AATB, OMN deserved maybe 4 or 5 weeks. The other 2 or 3 at least should have been for GS because it was the biggest song at the time (just lacked airplay especially compared to OMN) (or in the case of AATB the rest of weeks should have been for SIO. IMO Shake It Off deserved more weeks at #1 than BS will get. But with today's methodology GS would be #1 for a reeeeeeeeeeeally long time lol maybe 10-12 weeks (which is in my opinion too much for this song even though I loved it I think it should get 5 weeks) |

When grandparents are dancing to a song a la Happy, it crossed all generations, all countries, all races... This is the point I was making. AATB just didn't seem to go to that next level. |
